French Toast

This is sad but probably inevitable. The Samuel French Theatre & Film Bookshop is closing at the end of March. The company's business has shifted largely online so they're shuttering the physical retail store on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood.

I am probably a microscopic but real part of the reason as I haven't set foot in there in twenty-some years. But it was an interesting place to browse, usually among young actors and actresses looking for something that might boost their emerging careers: A play to be in, a scene to use for auditions, a book on acting, etc. I have several shelves of books that came from Samuel French. It was a good place for writers, too.
