AbstractHistoryArchive Description

An English workhouse Christmas visitor, a stage winter, meets an old man who had once been a foremost theatre clown and hears the tragedy of his accident on stage and his subsequent poverty and renunciation of the woman he loved. Her rise as a dancer and actress is followed at a distance and he contacts her only after his death in a letter. Simple; warm. (PB)
