Description: THE HOUSE OF SATAN GEORGE JEAN NATHAN HC 1ST EDITION 1926. A collection of essays and reviews from the New York Theater in the 1920's. Nathan was probably the most important dramatic critic of the 20th century, certainly of the first half of it. He was also co-editor with H.L. Mencken of The Smart Set, co-founder of The American Mercury, founder and editor of The American Spectator and later a columnist for The New York Journal-American. He is also said to be the basis for the acid-tongued film character Addison De Witt (played by George Sanders) in the Oscar's 1950 Best Picture winner All About Eve. Also a famous ladies man Nathan had a decade long affair with actress and silent film star, Lillian Gish before finally marrying respected actress Julie Haydon in 1955. He died in 1958 aged 76.
