C.Caswell); published May 16, 1917; $1.50; three copies, two with the stunning dust jacket, now almost exotic in its rarity, with the front flap reading: “Just as THE HARBOR was the story of a constantly changing life out upon the fringe of the city, along its wharves, among its ships, so the story of Roger Gale’s family pictures the growth of a generation out of the embers of the old in the ceaselessly changing heart of New York. How Roger’s three daughters grew into the maturity of their several lives, each one so different, Mr. Poole tells with strong and compelling beauty, touching with deep, whole-hearted conviction some of the most vital problems of our modern way of living!the home, motherhood, children, the school; all of them seen through the realization, which Roger’s dying wife made clear to him, that whatever life may bring, ‘we will live on in our children’s lives.’ The old Gale house down-town is a little fragment of a past generation existing somehow beneath the towering apartments and office-buildings of the altered city. Roger will be remembered when other figures in modern literature have been forgotten, gazing out of his window at the lights of some near-by dwelling lifting high above his home, thinking

    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Thursday, Sept 8, 2011 CONTACT: Patrick Finlon, Marketing Director 315-443-2636 or [email protected] Classic Henry James Psychological Thriller The Turn of the Screw th Opens 39 Season at Syracuse Stage on September 21 (Syracuse, NY)—The 39th season at Syracuse Stage opens September 21 with the classic Henry James psychological thriller The Turn of the Screw, a riveting story of a young governess and two small children set on a remote English estate. In this wildly entertaining stage adaptation by Jeffrey Hatcher, two actors led by Director Michael Barakiva (director of last season’s The Clean House) bring all of James’ eccentric characters and spine-tingling moments to life. Curzon Dobell, last seen at Syracuse Stage as Dr. Sweet in Bug (2005), will portray several characters as The Man. Actress Kristen Sieh, a founding member of the award-winning New York based theatre company The TEAM, will perform the role of The Governess. Tickets range $18-$50 and are available at the Syracuse Stage Box Office, 315-443-3275 or www.SyracuseStage.org. The Turn of the Screw is sponsored by Alliance Bank and Residence Inn. Media sponsors are the CNY Business Journal, WAER and WCNY. Stage’s 2011-2012 season sponsor is The Post-Standard. As the first production staged in the newly reconfigured Storch Theatre, The Turn of the Screw offers Syracuse Stage patrons the experience of three-quarter arena seating. 269 seats will surround the performance area on three sides. For future productions, the seating configuration will be flexible, allowing the space to be used in its original 200-seat endstage configuration as needed.
