an indispensable, fascinating reference book!,

This review is from: Blumenfeld's Dictionary of Acting and Show Business (Paperback)
A veritable treasure-trove and an utterly fascinating one is this dictionary of theater and show business! A theater lover, professional or student can use this book for useful or critical information about the art, or curl in an armchair and read page after page, getting lost for hours in the history and meaning of green rooms, flatbed editor, and a list of the rules of ethics and conduct and responsibilities of Professionalism in Acting. There is even a YouTube link to see a popular actor who died in 1905 playing bits of his famous interpretation of Rip Van Winkle, not to mention such filming directorial terms all very new to me such as "on the bell" or "Give me a banana!" Ranging from Elizabethan theater and before to the current world of film, commercials, television, professional associations and Broadway, Robert Blumenfeld's book is an absolute must for the shelves of anyone who works in the theater or simply adores it.
