Lively memior of the theatrical career of playwright, essayist, and screenwriter Samuel Behrman. Behrman was a well known author of high-toned comedies, often starring Lunt and Fontanne. Behrman's circle of friends ranged from poet Siegfred Sassoon to Alexander Woolcott, and everyone in between. Behrman's book presents character studies of these famous people that are both truthful, but also kind. A tremendous work for anyone interested in 20th century theater and literature.
