Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Papa, an Amorality in Three Acts Zoë Akins was born in 1886 at Humansville, a small town in the Ozark Mountain region of Missouri, but her home has been at St. Louis since she was eleven. On her mother´s side she is a descendant from that Earl of Pembroke who is best known to history as Shakespeare´s friend. Her maternal granduncle was Duff Green, a Southern newspaper editor, whose appointment as Public Printer in 1829 was the first manifestation of President Jackson´s new theory of office-holding - "to the victors belong the spoils." Numerous members of her mother´s family have been engaged in literary pursuits of one kind or another. Her father has for many years been prominent in the affairs of the Republican party and is now Postmaster of St. Louis. She had two years of schooling at the Monticello Seminary, of Godfrey, Ill., and two more at Hosmer Hall in St. Louis. But her hopes of entering either Radcliffe or the University of Chicago were foiled by serious illness. At seventeen, while her parents were away, she joined for a time the Odeon Stock Company, then playing in St. Louis. The one immediate satisfaction she got out of this step lay in the excitement it created among her friends.
