Woollcott, Alexander. MRS. FISKE. HER VIEWS ON ACTORS, ACTING, AND THE 
PROBLEMS OF PRODUCTION.

New York; The Century Company: 1917.
First edition, first issue, with "Woolcott" on the title page.

The first book by this famous member of the Algonquin Round Table and New 
Yorker writer. Also, (apparently incidentally, from a quick look at other's 
current descriptions of the book) an interesting book on Minnie Maddern 
Fiske, a beautiful, talented and famous actress. That's why I originally 
bought it, but what do I know?

Hardcover. 5.25"x7.5", 229 pages, 25 b/w plates; original blue, white and 
gold decorated cloth; covers bright and clean, spine with several light 
dents which are odd but not displeasing; period bookplate, endpapers 
lightly toned. [06614] $50.00
