AT 33

by Eva Le Gallienne ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 11, 1933

Actress and producer and famous at 33, Eva Le Gallienne tells here the story of her life on the stage, of the early discouragements and poverty and failures, of the hard work and unremitting determination to reach her goal, of her contacts with Constance Collier, Elsie Janis, Ethel Barrymore, and of the help and inspiration they were to her. Of her worship of Sarah Bernhardt, and her meeting her in childhood. Of the famous Duse, and the part she played in her rise to fame. But once a star, she found she needed something more, a goal that was not so personal. And the Civic Repertory Theatre was the answer, a contribution to enrich American theatrical history. Here is a career still in the making. This book is her first period. Not a personal autobiography, except as her individuality comes out thru her theatrical experience. But none the less a very vital and absorbingly interesting story.
