DANIEL AIRLIE

by Robert Hichens ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 8, 1937

The theatrical setting will give this book an impetus to sales which it might otherwise lack. Airlie is an actor, trying to live down a secret in his past and when he realizes it can't be done, trying to make it right in the one medium he can control, the stage. The playwright, Marling, and the leading lady, are part of his scheme. The story is spun out to undue length; there is less of craftsmanship than in much of his work. Not in the class with The Paradine Case -- or his famous best seller, The Garden of Allah. But reasonably good entertainment.
