Blue-grass and Broadway
Patricia Adair of Adairville, Kentucky, needs a large sum of money in a hurry, and the only thing she has to sell is a play. It lands on the desk of Godfrey Vandeford, a Broadway producer who has just lost twenty thousand dollars on a leg show and is looking for something with a punch. Maria Thompson Daviess, a Tennessee writer known for cheerful comedies of Southern life, published the novel in 1919 after serializing it in Harper's Bazar. It is a light-hearted collision between a well-bred Southern girl and the hard-boiled theater business of wartime New York, with producers, press agents and temperamental stars sketched from the inside. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first chapter free.
