A propos de cet article

- Over 200 words typed on 11 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide light gray "James B. Pond / The Pond Bureau" stationery. The document is a contract letter between Ruth Draper and the lecture manager James B.

He also outlines terms should she need a "manager to accompany" her "or to do special road work". The contract is signed by both James B. Pond and Ruth Draper. Folded for mailing with a tiny tear to the right edge of the top fold and minor soiling along the right edge. Very good. The American actress and dramatic monologuist Ruth Draper (1884-1956) specialized in character-driven monologues and solo dramas.

Unlike other solo performers of the time, Draper's monologues and monodramas portrayed original characters instead of those taken from literature. She was admired by such personalities as George Bernard Shaw, Thornton Wilder, Katharine Hepburn, Laurence Olivier, Henry James, Edith Wharton, and Agatha Christie, among others. She even inspired 2 of Agatha Christie's characters.…
