The Sorrows Of A Show Girl: A Story Of The Great "White Way"

Some of Sabrina's comments in the book are likely to make the reader raise his eyebrows in skepticism about her true nature. She wants to declare that she is everything that she should be in order to make things right with the general public as well as the large army of Sabrina’s who give youth and beauty to our stage as well as brilliancy and gaiety to their well-known cafés. She is a young lady who does not seem her age, despite the fact that she is. She always has superb taste and always dresses nicely, albeit a little ahead of the trends. She behaves admirably among strangers or in public, but when around people from her own group, she feels more comfortable and may occasionally use slang. She could be forced by fate to support herself, or she might get money from somewhere unrelated to these stories. Sabrina views everybody outside the theatrical or journalism world as an outsider, and she treats them as such. The cafés and restaurants of the "wiseacres" known as the "Tenderloin" are where you can find hundreds of people much like her any evening after the theatre.
