(4.3 stars; 19 reviews)

"The "Mind The Paint" Girl, by Louis Tracy, is a delightful novelization of Sir Arthur Pinero's sparkling comedy now having a successful New York run.... Mr. Tracy has caught the very spirit of the drama and has told its story with much of the same vivre that has packed the theatre and made it impossible to get seats except several weeks in advance. It is the story of the meteoric rise of a lovely young musical comedy actress whose song "Mind the Paint" put London at her feet and the opportunity of placing several British coronets on her head." Note that we also have the play itself available here at Librivox. - Summary by Bookseller Magazine of 1912 (7 hr 3 min)

Reseñas

Interesting Social History Tale


(4 stars)

A different type of tale, quite well written but Chaps 9 and 10 are read by people who do really bad accents. Especially Chapter 9 with an American young woman trying to do English accents and getting them abominably wrong. Would be better not to try!!

Accents weren't bad


(4 stars)

The young lady who did the accents actually did a good job. The story is a bit muddled but enjoyable nonetheless. But apparently not Bill Cosby's cup of tea.

OUCH!


(2.5 stars)

PLEASE PLEASE please do NOT try to imitate accents with which you are not familiar. It is both painful & insulting to make Londoners sound like buffoons!

This is insulting to BIPOCs


(4.5 stars)

Disregards the societal dependence of white culture on the oppression of BIPOC culture. If it were realistic the central protagonist would by an oppressed BIPOC who bravely holds white culture up so that these white people can go on with their silly white lives all while speaking in an incorrect accent
