This volume is a frank book, opening with a chapter dedicated to the "stage-struck" girl, warning her of the obstacles and hindrances with the candor of one who has known them all. Ms. Morris speaks with humor and charm about the mysterious and alluring life behind the footlights while giving readers bits of the shams and deceptions of the stage, and in a peculiarly open manner strips it of its false glitter. The highlights are the little stories of the actress' own career, which show how truly the most dramatic scenes in plays reflect the happenings in actual life.
