Me & Kit by Guthrie McClintic, husband of Katharine Cornell - 1955 Vintage Broadway Biography - First Edition

A marvelous gift the theatre lover, this is a first edition library copy of Me & Kit in great condition. 

Guthrie McClintic was a Broadway director for more than 30 years. He was married to Katharine Cornell, a shining star of Broadway for that same 30 years. This is his autobiography, published in 1955.

The dust jacket describes it... "This book holds the magic of the stage and the spirit and individuality of those who have made it great in our time: Sarah Bernhardt and Ethel Barrymore, Judith Anderson and Ethel Waters, Maxwell Anderson and George Bernard Shaw, Noel Coward and Ruth Gordon, and of course, Katharine Cornell -- to name but a few. Here are the swift sympathy, the daring wit and the inexhaustible zest which have made Guthrie McClintic the pre-eminent director on the American stage."
