THE HANDBOOK ANNUAL OF THE THEATRE: May 1940-1941

For schools and colleges and Little Theatres king something new that is appropriate and practical, this should prove a useful handbook. Alphabetical listing of plays of that year, list of principals, number of characters, settings, outline of theme, critical reception, evaluation from amateur viewpoint. Following this material are lists of managers, stage directors, designers, librettists, composers, awards. In some cases the listings (of actors) are unidentifiable, neither indexed, nor listed with plays.
