Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 121 pp. As a drama student at RADA and as a tyro actor in the 20s, Gielgud was a passionate playgoer, seeing everything of note in the London theatre - ballet, revue and melodrama as well as straight plays. He attended the premieres of Shaw, O'Neill and A.A. Milne classics, and of course watched the leading players of his day. He kept every single program, carefully noting down his views on the front cover. This fully-illustrated gift-book gives nostalgic glimpses into the theatre of the 20s, as seen through the eyes - and program notes - of the young John Gielgud, and comes complete with comments by Gielgud, spanning the years 1919 to 1925.
