New York & London: Harper & Brothers, ( 1939 ). First Edition Thus. Hardcover. Good. Octavo; 28, 64 pages, tan cloth. cover soiled This volume is a facsimile new edition of the edition of JULIUS CAESAR prepared by student and teacher, Welles and Hill, when Orson Welles was a precocious student at the Todd School, at Woodstock, Illinois. Not many years later, a new Broadway production by Welles stunned New Yorkers in 1937, his magical year. That provoked this new edition, which includes, "On Staging Shakespeare and On Shakespeare's Stage", a chapter originally written by college-aged Orson Welles, but here identified as the Director of the Mercury Theater. Illustrated with sketches (apparently drawn by Welles). Includes his whimsically serious "Biography of William Shakespeare (No. 1,000,999)".. Hill out-lived his student by 5 years. They had a life-long friendship, as reported in a recent book.
