(4) YA In this early (1940s) and heretofore unpublished novel, Elizabeth's start in the theatrical life is dogged by a disapproving aunt and a callow seducer. Steadfastness, talent, and a couple of unlikely coincidences keep her to her path. The writing is earnest and emotional, and while its excesses firmly place the book in another stylistic era, high-minded drama-club kids might find themselves persuaded.
