Dorothy Parker holds a place in history as one of New York's most
beloved writers. Now, for the first time in nearly a century, the
public is invited to enjoy Mrs. Parker's sharp wit and biting
commentary on the Jazz Age hits and flops in this first-ever
published collection of her groundbreaking Broadway
reviews.Starting when she was twenty-four at Vanity Fair as New
York's only female theatre critic, Mrs. Parker reviewed some of the
biggest names of the era: the Barrymores, George M. Cohan, W.C.
Fields, Helen Hayes, Al Jolson, Eugene O'Neil, Will Rogers, and the
Ziegfeld Follies. Her words of praise--and contempt--for the
dramas, comedies, musicals, and revues are just as fresh and funny
today as they were in the age of speakeasies and bathtub gin.
Annotated with a notes section by Kevin C. Fitzpatrick, president
of the Dorothy Parker Society, the volume shares Parker's outspoken
opinions of a great era of live theatre in America, from a time
before radio, talking pictures, and television decimated
attendance. Dorothy Parker: Complete Broadway, 1918-1923 provides a
fascinating glimpse of Broadway in its Golden Era and literary life
in New York through the eyes of a renowned theatre critic.
