The Theatre at Mid-Season
Dramatic critic, author and editor, GEORGE JEAN NATHAN first began tailing about the American theatre in 1905; and he has been regarding it ever since with mingled hope, rage, and affection. With his friend and fellow editor, Henry L. Mencken, he was instrumental in reviving The Smart Set between 1914 and 1925; and then, in 1921, they scored an instant success with their first issues of The American Mercury. Mr. Nathan is the author of many volumes of criticism, the latest being The Theatre in the Fifties, which has recently appeared under the Knopf imprint.
