1-3My America series.
Virginia has moved with her family from Washington, D.C., to New York City. Enchanted by the theater and worried that her father won't be able to support the family, she gets a job as an actress's dresser but eventually decides to finish her education and write plays. The prose is bland, but Virginia's fans will welcome this continuation of her adventures. An illustrated endnote provides historical facts.
