This dramatic library consists for the most part of biographies of stage celebrities, narratives of Green Room gossip which were privately printed or issued from provincial presses, and local theatrical playbills.

...Georgia on Broadway" furnished the quaint southern touch of the evening, Gallagher and Shean supplied the light banter act, and Ivan Bankoff the dancing. Paul Decker in the sketch "I Heard--!", managed to "get across" very well. Any presentation dealing with gossip is sure to interest a certain large portion of the audience, at least.
