MIRACLE IN THE EVENING is the autobiography of one of the most brilliant stage and industrial designers of our time. Norman Bel Geddes' story is the drama of a young man who, having worked his way through school, climaxed a brilliant career with ideas that gave birth to some of the most spectacular theatrical productions of the last half century.Through Norman Bel Geddes' story, as through the theater itself, pass the many colorful personalities of our age, lending brilliance and scope, good humor and compelling human interest.The life story of this ingenuous man is filled with names of the glittering and the great, such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Madame Schumann-Heink (his first portrait-sketch was of this famous contralto), Will Rogers, Charlie Chaplin, David Belasco, Horace Liveright, J. Walter Thompson, Walter Chrysler, Harold Ross, and many others-a fascinating story of a man who has more than once created for audiences a MIRACLE IN THE EVENING.
