Description

A clean, unmarked book with a tight binding. 98 pages, plus page of advertising for "Little Books By Famous Writers" Uniform Series. Previous owner's inscription. Small blue book with silver lettering on the cover. 3 3/8"w x 6 3/8"h. Illustrated frontispiece. "It was at the end of the first act of the first night of "The Sultana," and every member of the Lester Comic Opera Company, from Lester himself own to the wardrobe woman's son, who would have had to work if his mother lost her place, was sick with anxiety. There is perhaps only one other place as feverish as it is behind the scenes on the first night of a comic opera, and that is a newspaper office on the last night of a Presidential campaign, hen the returns are being flashed on the canvas outside, and the mob is howling, and the editor-in-chief is expecting to go to the Court of St. James if the election comes his way, and the ffice-boy is betting his wages that it won't."
