today February, 1939 X Foreword Some seventeen years ago I was
general assistant to Winthrop Ames when he produced The Green
Goddess with George Arliss as its star at the Booth Theatre. In the
ninth month of that plays run I married Katharine Cornell. A little
over a month later she made her first big hit in A Bill of
Divorcement. The night after she had received her glowing notices I
had some business to at tend to backstage at the Booth. Mr. Arliss
came out of his dressing-room and, instead of greeting me as usual,
turned to Maude Ho well, the stage manager, and said Who is this
young man And before she could reply, he adjusted his monocle,
looked at me again and, with a malevolent foreboding chuckle, said
Oh, of course, its Miss Cornells husband, That was a very happy
thing to be then, anci after seventeen years it is still a very
happy tiling to be. And as such I have been called upon to write or
f to be more exact, supply a foreword. To you who read this book,
and I trust there will be many, any thing I could say would be like
bringing coals to New castle, But to Mr Arliss 1 might say, Meet
the wife. GUTHEIE McCHNTIC
