Label TextA wonderful snapshot of 1930s Broadway behind the scenes by this avid chronicler of Depression-era New York. On a theater stage, a weary casting director sits behind a desk, and is conversing with a standing man who holds a hat behind his back. Surrounding the stage are other people, presumably actors seeking an audition for parts in an upcoming theater production.
