What FSF Might have Said In 1916

________________________________________________________________________________________________

At the age of nineteen,
I dream of being with Shakespeare in  Stratford-Upon-Avon...
I would be his favorite actress 
 
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Evil Eye
Princeton
1916



As beautiful as 
I am handsome

The prose
that flows
in my 
veins

Shall burst
upon the 
page

But now 
the stage...


Where boys 
are boys

And girls 
and girls

Footnotes
One hundred years ago, Scott Fitzgerald co-authored
a college theatrical production at an all-boys
school in New Jersey.

By the time The Evil Eye was ready for presentation,
his academic grades at Princeton had sunk so low,
he was not permitted to perform in the show.

However, when Scott posed for this publicity still on January 2, 1916,
the New York Times  called him "The most beautiful girl" in the show.

The next Fitzgerald page is  here.

  1. What a pretty face conceals
    What a host it veils
    Pretty makes perfect
    The world's respect
    Oh, no it can't be real.
