Summary
A collection of 100 poems on the movie industry by various writers. In Provide, Provide, Robert Frost writes: "The witch that came (the withered hag) / To wash the steps with pail and rag, / Was once the beauty Abishag, / The picture pride of Hollywood. / Too many fall from great and good / For you to doubt the likelihood."
Note
"A Harvest original."
