:Stage oar, peru, Now ini Ji Quaini. Title: Stage Door, a play in three acts. Time: Those uncertain years between 1934-36. Setting: A brownstone house in the West 50's of New York where the once-exterior splendor has yielded to the exciting hub- bub of the Footlights Club. In and out, in a constant stream, go the aspiring ac- tresses who live for the day when their names will brighten the Great White Way. Hoping some day the stage doors will open to her, plain but talented Terry pur- sues her first love-the theatre-and spurns the Hollywood contract offered her by David Kingsley, motion picture pro- ducer. However, vivacious Iean Maitland seizes the opportunity of a screenland career and becomes rich and famous. Terry's struggle for fame and her bitter disappointment in the radical Keith Bur- gess, portray traditional life in the theatre. Light touches are afforded by Mrs. Or- cutt, the house-mother, and Iudith who claims co-billing with elephants. A would- be concert pianist, a debutante, languid beauties and southern belles, help to color the production. Mattie, the maid, keeps action, and her lazy husband Frank, go- ing at a lively pace. Big and little Mary prove contrary to their titles while Bea- trice Neimeyer, convinced she is a great actress, develops writers' cramp filling out her own recommendations. The sometimes humorous, sometimes sad experiences of all weave an interest- ing and thoroughly enjoyable back- ground for stage-struck Terry. David Kingsley's belief in her ability leads them, hand-in-hand, through the Stage Door. Page Eighty-nine
