Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The New York Idea: A Comedy In Four Acts is a play written by Langdon Elwyn Mitchell in 1908. The story revolves around the lives of wealthy New Yorkers who engage in a series of romantic affairs and scandals. The main character, Cynthia Karslake, is a divorced woman who is determined to remarry her ex-husband, John Karslake, despite his engagement to another woman. Cynthia's scheming and manipulation of those around her lead to a series of comedic misunderstandings and mishaps. The play satirizes the social and cultural norms of high society in New York City during the early 20th century, highlighting the hypocrisy and superficiality of the wealthy elite. The New York Idea is a classic example of American comedy and remains a popular work in the canon of American theater.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
