Gerald du Maurier became the acknowledged head of the acting profession and a public figure idolized by thousands. He entranced thousands of West-End audiences for over 39 years with his deceptively simple but naturalistic style of acting. His leading ladies were some of the most successful and beautiful of the age, but he died a disappointed man. This book explores a glittering area of theatrical history and the life of a man at its centre. Sir Gerald du Maurier war the son of famous "Punch" artist and Daphne du Maurier became a leading British novelist. Dr James Harding also wrote biographies of Ivor Novello and Charles B. Cochran.
