Act One is the autobiography of Moss Hart, an American playwright and theatre director. Born into impoverished circumstances—his father was often unemployed—Hart left school at age twelve for a series of odd jobs that included being an entertainment director at a Catskills summer resort. Hart’s big break came in 1930 with the Broadway hit Once in a Lifetime, written with George Kaufman. The two would collaborate again on You Can’t Take It With You (1936) and The Man Who Came To Dinner (1939). You Can’t Take It With You won the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1937, and the 1938 film version, directed by Frank Capra, won Oscars for both Best Picture and Best Director. Act One was adapted for a 1963 film starring George Hamilton, and for a 2014 stage production starring Tony Shalhoub and Andrea Martin.

By 1889, the American glass industry was well established. With domestic factories producing everything from bottles to tableware, window glass, mirrors and more, America was no longer reliant on European manufacturers for the glass products needed in homes and everyday commerce. But despite innovations in furnace design and a gradual changeover to cleaner burning fuel (gas vs. coal), much of the work was still performed by hand. This short book, illustrated with 20 vintage black & white engravings and line drawings, will take you back in time to present a "contemporary" view of several facets of the glass industries operating in 1889 America. Find out just what went into the creation of window glass, one pane at a time. Learn how bottles and glassware were formed before the age of mechanization. And get a short glimpse into a time before child labor laws existed.
