Produced by Duncan Harrod. HTML version by Al Haines.
"Half a Rogue" by Harold MacGrath is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Richard Warrington, a young and somewhat frustrated playwright navigating the chaotic world of theatre in New York. He is portrayed as a man of talent but also a victim of the intricate social dynamics that come with being an artist, dealing with demands from actors and the whims of the theatre industry. The opening of the novel introduces Warrington as he dines at a quiet restaurant, where he contemplates the challenges of his current play's rehearsal. During his solitary meal, a young woman named Katherine Challoner approaches him for help after forgetting her purse. This moment of chance leads to a deeper engagement as Warrington learns of her troubles and her determination to make her acting career successful. Their interaction sets the stage for a series of events that will unravel Katherine's past and the complexities of her ambitions, while also offering Warrington an opportunity for potential romance and reflection on his own life choices. The chapter establishes a tone of tension and intrigue, hinting at the unfolding drama between the worlds of art, love, and societal expectations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
