4.9/5 (17510 ratings)

Description:A famous stock company leading lady recounts her hilarious experiences on the Gum-and-Gimlet circuit. "Feeling like Ethel Barrymore, but looking more like Charley's Aunt, as she puts it, Miss Hurlbut was graduated from the American Academy of the Dramatic Arts, a short, round, red-headed and terribly near-sighted girl who was hell-bent on a star's career. From the night of her hilariously disastrous debut as an extra in Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm (how many actresses have made their debut while wearing a barrel as a costume?) she went up the ladder to find herself playing leads in touring versions of Broadway successes. She then moved on to the position of leading ladies in prominent stock companies. She had graduated from what she calls 'the Gimlet and Gum circuit,' referring to the odd habit traveling salesmen used to have of carrying gimlets with which to bore holes in the connecting doors of hotel rooms. To counteract this, the girls carried chewing gum with which to plug up the holes on their side. Among the peculiarities of playing stock Miss Hurlbut learned that "The South cared most about our wardrobes, the Mid-west about our acting abilities and New England about our morals."Gladys' recent success in as Bessie, in Life With Mother, is now finally topped by the performance of her career in recounting her experiences as a leading lady in America's great Theatrical Stock Company era in Next Week-- East Lynne!We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
