What reading level is All That Glittered: the Golden Age of Drama On Broadway, 1919-1959 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Of course, the story revolves around a sucker, and he is one Waldo Winchester, “a nice-looking young guy who writes pieces about Broadway for the Morning Item.” Also on hand is Dave the Dude’s doll, Miss Billy Perry; and Waldo’s confidante, speakeasy proprietor Missouri Martin, who “tells everything she knows as soon as she knows it, which is very often before it happens.”
In that little dramatis personae, we read the content of what the word “Broadway” had come to mean by the 1930s: gossip. A f...ew chapters ago, we saw “Broadway” take in nightclubs and Prohibition crime as well as theatregoing; now Broadway was the beat of the men who tattled, who created the myth of Broadway by reporting, snitching, and inventing.
Waldo Winchester is of course Walter Winchell, of the New York Graphic in 1929 but soon to settle in at William Randolph Heart’s more imposing New York Mirror, with a syndication deal that promised a readership in the millions. (Soon enough, Winchell would add radio and, later, television to his domain.) Missouri Martin is Texas Guinan of the “Hello, sucker!”
