Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Norman Bel Geddes, Robert Edmond Jones, Diego Rivera (illustrator). This April 1932 issue of "Theatre Arts Monthly" is superb for many reasons! It, as always has lots of wonderful photographs, illustrations, and articles. Of special interest are the articles by Boleslavsky and Stark Young. Architectural rendering by Norman Bel Geddes are remarkable, and a few theatre sketches by Diego Rivera are very interesting. The issue starts with a handsome portrait of playwright Gerhart Hauptmann, and ends with a lovely photograph of famed actress Mrs. Fiske as Ibsen's Hedda Gabler. "Theatre Arts Monthly" was, for years, one of the leading periodicals dealing with stage design and the problems of dramatic presentations. It was founded as "Theatre Arts Magazine" by Sheldon Warren Cheney, who was a leading author and drama critic. Eventually it's name was changed to "Theatre Arts Monthly". It ran from 1916 to 1964. The magazine's editorial staff supported the Little Theatre Movement and the establishment of the American National Theatre and Academy. It was also very supportive of emerging dramatists and performing artists such as Martha Graham, Eugene O'Neill, and Thorton Wilder. It presented substantial articles devoted to all things theatre, but with an emphasis on production and theatre design. It is a treasure of an issue, with lots of good reading. It's packed with information. We've provided a view of the Table of Contents above, which also includes captions for the many photographs. There are numerous advertisements devoted to the theatre and theatre production. TITLE : Theatre Arts Monthly ISSUE : Volume XVI, Number 4 EDITOR : Edith J. R.
