Harvest of My Years

$3.50

IN this plentiful harvest there is no chaff. Here, set chiefly against the glittering theater of “yesterday.”is the autobiography of a man with a prodigious capacity for work and friendship. Channing Pollock has been critic, press agent for Anna Held and Bernhardt, author of such varied stage pieces as the Ziegfeld Follies and the controversial play The Fool, stevedore, crusader, novelist, and lecturer. Now at a vigorous sixty-two he has gathered his successes and failures into a potpourri of anecdotes about crooks and geniuses, Broadway and “the road.”With humor and pathos he writes of his friends great and small; the streetwalker comes to life as vividly as do Victor Herbert, Mark Twain, Texas Guinan, Will Rogers, and countless other celebrities. This is Pollock’s book of plain and fancy people met in over six decades of living.
