Book Review: The Dramatic Legacy of Dorothy Davis and Violet Walters



A Cup of Tea
There is a readership for Muriel Gold's book on two theatre ladies
by Gaƫtan L. Charlebois

On every second page of Muriel Gold's book about The Montreal Children's Theatre there is a name I recognize (indeed names most people who go to theatre in English here would recognize). They're the name of thousands of alums from this company, all students of Dorothy Davis and Violette Walters - each working one of them the ladies' living legacy. You don't need to read Gold's book to understand the importance of this institution; the roll call from the place would do. So what else does Gold offer to draw readers in?
