Gracie: A Love Story Burns, George
Good.
Hardcover. 1st edition hardcover with dustjacket 1988 Putnam. Short gift inscription on 1st free endpaper. Very clean; pages bright; binding tight. Jacket has only light wear. 319pp, B/W photos. Language: English. 'The 92-year-old Burns here tells a true-love story of the life he shared with his wife, who died in 1964. The author (ne Nathan Birnbaum) was a Jewish kid from Brooklyn when he met Grace Allen, who was raised in an Irish-Catholic family in San Francisco. Both were struggling vaudevillians when they married in 1928, but as Burns and Allen, they gradually advanced into the big time. Describing their professional and personal life together, Burns fills the book with infectious humor, although one feels his loss. Clearly he wants readers to know Grace, an intelligent and endearing woman far different from Gracie, whose exquisitely timed illogic-logic quips made her world famous. The memoir's great appeal is further strengthened by accounts of early vaudeville and anecdotes about Jack Benny, Eddie Cantor, Fred Astaire, the Lunts and other friends.'--Publishers Weekly, 1988.
