Description

Reminiscence of American actor, manager, stage and motion-picture producer, and sports promoter, William A. Brady.

"Well named, this autobiography of a representative "showman" of the jovial '90's, and though it is primarily a rapid fire account of a many-sided career, you get the man himself, jovial, generous, mad Irish, rough diamond, naively and somewhat crudely presented. From the Bowery to Broadway via journalism, peanut vender, butcher, years in stock, playing through Mid-Western towns Hamlet and The Streets of New York alternately, spellbound by melodrama, persuaded into promoting prize fights in nationwide arenas, living high and low, taking wild chances, actor, manager, producer, Jack of all Trades and Master Showman of each."-Kirkus Reviews
