Catherine Reef is a nonfiction writer whose biographies, social histories, health books, and descriptions of famous buildings and monuments both inform and entertain readers. Notable among her biographical subjects are the actress Sarah Bernhardt, writers such as E.E. Cummings, John Steinbeck, and Walt Whitman, scientists such as Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud, and outstanding African Americans from Colin Powell to the poet Paul Laurence Dunbar. Addressing the spirit of place in America, Reef has also written about such historical monuments as Monticello, Mount Vernon, and the Lincoln Memorial. Among her books of social history are those dealing with African Americans, such as Africans in America: The Spread of People and Culture, as well as several detailing the African-American military contribution, including Buffalo Soldiers and Civil War Soldiers. From Wikipedia: Sarah Bernhardt (born Henriette-Rosine Bernard; 22 October 1844 - 26 March 1923) was a French stage actress who starred in some of the more popular French plays of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including La Dame Aux Camelias by Alexandre Dumas fils; Ruy Blas by Victor Hugo, Fédora and La Tosca by Victorien Sardou, and L'Aiglon by Edmond Rostand. She also played male roles, including Shakespeare's Hamlet. Rostand called her "the queen of the pose and the princess of the gesture", and Hugo praised her "golden voice". She made several theatrical tours around the world, and she was one of the early prominent actresses to make sound recordings and to act in motion pictures. She is also linked with the success of artist Alphonse Mucha, whose work she helped to publicize. Mucha became one of the more sought-after artists of this period for his Art Nouveau style. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Much of what is known about this legendary French actress (1844-1923) is recognized as colorful hearsayâ"which was fomented by Bernhardt herself. In this concise, well-researched biography, Reef faithfully separates the documented from the speculative in tracing Bernhardt's life from her birth as the daughter of a Jewish courtesan to the three days when "life in Paris halted" to mourn the death of the "Divine Sarah." After education at boarding school and a convent, where she was baptized into Catholicism and yearned to become a nun, the temperamental 15-year-old was reluctantly admitted to study drama at the Comédie-Française. Headstrong and tempestuous, she was initially an unremarkable actress with an erratic career; by the time she was 24, however, she had become "the star everyone wanted to see," mesmerizing audiences around the globe. Reef details Bernhardt's wide-ranging career, acts of patriotism during the Franco-Prussian War and WWI, and intriguing personal life, including idiosyncrasies such as sleeping in a coffin. Well-recounted, rendering the drama of Bernhardt's magnetic performances and extraordinary charisma, this is a solid introduction to an unconventional feminist and international idol.

Arthur William Row (1878-1961) was a professional actor, writer, and producer with a lengthy career in the theater. Throughout his career, he associated himself with many legendary performers of the 19th and early 20th centuries. He was born in Montreal, Canada on June 12, 1878 and moved with his family to Boston in 1893. Row attended Tufts College in Massachusetts from 1897 to 1901, majoring in English, with the intention of becoming a writer. During college, he decided instead to become an actor and applied to Boston's Castle Square Theatre Stock Company. Row achieved his first major production role in 1899 in Minnie Maddern Fiske's Becky Sharp. From that point forward, he was heavily involved with the theatre and performed with the Barrymores, Herbert Beerbohm Tree, Otis Skinner, and in more modern productions such as Orson Welles' 1937 production of Julius Caesar, and A Streetcar Named Desire with Uta Hagen. In 1919, Row helped found the Afternoon Theatre and produced several plays, most notably Aglavaine and Selysette starring Eva Le Gallienne. Arthur Row's association with Sarah Bernhardt began in 1913 when he wrote an article about her for The New Age. Bernhardt enjoyed the piece and invited Row to meet her. Three years later, Bernhardt's manager William F. Connor asked Row to be the press representative for Madame Sarah's 1916-17 Farewell American tour. He published a great many articles about her and continued to do so after the tour was finished. He wrote a series called Memories of Sarah Bernhardt for The Younger Set magazine and in the late 1940's wrote a book titled Sarah The Divine. First Edition. Inscribed by author.

Condition: Sehr gut. 8°. 578 + 1 S. Priv. Hld. der Zeit. EA in franz. Sprache. Mit eighd. 5zeiliger Widm. von Sarah Bernhardt, dat. 1918. - Exlibris a. V., zwei Worte in Widm. etw. verwischt, Ebd. etw. berieben, schönes Expl. - Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923), eine der berühmtesten französischen Schauspielerinnen: am bekanntesten ist vorallem ihre Darstellung der Kameliendame von A. Dumas, aber auch sonst ist sie als vielseitige Schauspielerin, erfolgreich sowohl in klassischen als auch in zeitgenössischen - meist französischen - Dramen. Ein wesentlicher Teil ihrer künstlerischen Arbeit - und Voraussetzung für ihren weltweiten Ruhm - waren ausgedehnte Gastspielreisen. Mit ihrer eigenen Schauspieltruppe trat sie 1879 in London auf. 1880 folgte eine halbjährige Tournee durch 51 Städte der USA. 1881 gab sie Vorstellungen in Russland, Italien, Griechenland, Ungarn, der Schweiz, Dänemark, Belgien und den Niederlanden. Sarah Bernhardt wurde gerühmt wegen ihrer schönen Stimme, der Anmut ihrer Bewegungen und wegen ihres Temperaments. Sie vertrat in Vollendung einen Theaterstil, der schon bald nach ihrer Zeit ebenfalls Vergangenheit war, einen romantischen Stil überschwänglicher Deklamation und großer Gebärden. Sarah Bernhardt starb am 26. März 1923 in Paris. Sie gilt als die berühmteste Schauspielerin ihrer Zeit und war einer der ersten Weltstars überhaupt. (Zitat).

Handsomely bound by Stikena and Co. in full grained brown morocco lettered gilt at the spine with five gilt lined raised bands, top edge gilt and inner gilt dentelles. Original publisher's wraps bound in. L'Aiglon is a play in six acts by Edmond Rostand (1868-1918) based on the life of Napoleon's son, Napoleon II of France, Duke of Reichstadt. The title comes from a nickname for Napoleon II, the French word for 'eaglet' (a young eagle). The title role was created by Sarah Bernhardt in the play's premiere in 1900 at the Theatre Sarah Bernhardt. In October of the same year, the play in an English translation by Louis N. Parker, premiered at New York's Knickerbocker Theatre with Maude Adams in the title role. Its first performance in London was at Her Majesty's Theatre in 1901, with Bernhardt again as the Duke of Reichstadt. Rostand had written L'Aiglon specifically for Bernhardt, and it became one of her signature roles. Rostand was a French poet and dramatist. He is associated with neo-romanticism, and is best known for his play Cyrano de Bergerac. Signed presentation from the author on the half title page to the French writer and critic, Ferdinand Brunetire (1849Ð1906), "hommage de haute admiration, Edmond Rostand."
