"This book begins where Farewell leaves off: Horton Foote heading to Pasadena to study acting at the Pasadena Playhouse. No author of recent memory can make me cry as much as he can. I enjoyed this one almost as much as the first one, but would warn others who are not interested in theatre and the history of theatre during its great American renaissance of the 1930s to keep an open mind. He refers to the great teachers, like Jilinsky and Boleslavsky, who defected from the Moscow Art Theatre and set up schools in New York City where, after Pasadena, he eventually went to study. He explains how Agnes DeMille, the great contemporary of Martha Graham, encouraged him to write his first play. Also, he tells of his meetings with Lee Strasberg, Katherine Cornell, Eva La Gallienne and other great luminaries of the American stage. A very interesting, informational read for the right person."
