New York: Tudor Publishing Company, 1936. fourth printing. Hardcover. Very Good/fair. Clean, tight 8vo, 558pp, 204 illustrations. Dust jacket has multiple small open and closed tears and chips along the edges and one 3" closed tear to top edge from the spine head. Book is in very nice condition with only minor shelf wear. A fascinating history of theater covering thirty centuries. The makers of plays, from Thespis, father of dialogue, to Eugene O'Neil, Bernard Shaw, and Ibsen. From Roman theater to Renaissance with the first known perspective sets and jewelled costumes, to the theatres of today with suave machinery and sculptured masses. Actors from Vittoria of Renassance Italy, censorship lifts its voice, Pompey erects a boot-leg stage, the church scatters the immoral players, the Puritans quench the licentious drama, the fights between playwrights, actors, producers from Euripides to Inigo Jones from Scqaramuccia to Gordon Craig. Amazing book!
