Edges foxed, endpapers and jacket lightly foxed. 1937 Hard Cover. 344 pp. A novel by the well-known playwright, whose play I am a Camera became Bob Fosse's famous musical film Cabaret. "There's a possible theatre enthusiast reading public for this novel by the playwright who gave us Young Woodley, but it is primarily a woman's story about a woman, the widowed Mrs. Bowen who finds a chance to indulge her secret passion for the theatre when she meets a struggling, unrecognized playwright. She plays every card and eventually (truncated) gets production for him, only to find that the reality falls short of her imaginings. Unsentimental, revealing yet sympathetic presentation.
