Publisher's Synopsis
Edna Ferber and George S. Kaufman inebriated America during the Prohibition Twenties then made everyone forget the Depression in the Thiries via gales of sophisticated laughter. The dynamic playwriting duo created three smash hits together: ÊThe Royal FamilyÊ (1927) Û ÊDinner at EightÊ (1932) Û and ÊStage DoorÊ (1936. All three plays were promptly made by Hollywood into equally famous films ä ÊDinner at EightÊ with Jean Harlow; ÊStage DoorÊ with a young Katharine Hepburn and Lucille Ball; and the ÊRoyal Family of BroadwayÊ with Frederic March.
