Book excerpt: A satisfying part of the theatrical record by a theater veteran -- the theater of stock in the sticks and gone forever trouping. She gives a full production to life on tour, from her own trials and tribulations as a near-sighted stage-struck girl, to the way up the ladder to leading woman and the personal events of her career. The unending grind of stock and road company work is fully realized: the close attention small towns pay to their stock companies, the calamities on stage and off, the techniques of shaking the scenery. All the while guarding the dream of New York -- and always an annual failure there. The types of leading man, the characteristics of audiences, the problems of wardrobes give way to the passing of the local and/or touring companies. And in the end, a Broadway hit in "Life with Mother" and the terrific sentimental effect of her return to the stage.
