ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL
An enchanting look at a by gone era as revealed by a masterful story teller. Moss Hart's "Act One" allows the reader to be at his side as he struggles to rise from poverty to fame. It's no wonder he succeeded in that quest, difficult as it was, and it was exceedingly difficult.
You, the reader, will cheer his successes and feel the pain of his let downs. Travel this journey with him my friend. You will not be disappointed.
