DEAR AUDIENCE

by Blanche Yurka ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 15, 1959

Blanche Yurka, who for many decades has been an outstanding member of the legitimate theater, speaks informally but with insight and comprehension of the stage, its literature, traditions, and future. Embracing all aspects of drama--stage, religious performances, musical comedy, television, and film--she weaves a pattern of devotion, touching here on the evolution of a form, there on the development of a particular style or school. Unabashed by time, she applies her mind as intimately to the Greek theater as she does to contemporary drama. Catholic in taste, imbued with enthusiasm for her profession, Blanche Yurka's words to her audience convey the spirit as well as the letter of the stage.
