[Pockross] shows how Chase has been historically dismissed because she was a female playwright who lived and worked outside New York, specialized in comedies, and often wrote for children. She also demonstrates how Chase was deemed an amateur because she was a wife and mother . . . Pockross attempts to reverse years of neglect with this new biography, and to a great extent, she succeeds. . . . Overall, Pulling Harvey Out of Her Hat: The Amazing Story of Mary Coyle Chase makes compelling reading for those who want to learn more about a forgotten writer, or anyone with a soft spot for an invisible rabbit., Mimi Pockross has created a warm and human profile of playwright Mary Coyle Chase, author of the stage and screen comedy classic Harvey. Pockross's biography provides a lovingly detailed vision of how Chase tenaciously persevered at her craft and eventually succeeded writ large, adding to the American comedic canon at a time when few women were able or permitted to do so., Mimi Pockross has created a warm and human profile of playwright Mary Coyle Chase, author of the stage and screen comedy classic Harvey. Pockross_s biography provides a lovingly detailed vision of how Chase tenaciously persevered at her craft and eventually succeeded writ large, adding to the American comedic canon at a time when few women were able or permitted to do so., "It isn't a stretch to imagine that at any given time, the play Harvey (that beloved American comedic chestnut immortalized by the 1950 film version starring Jimmy Stewart) is being produced in some professional repertory, regional, community, or school theater. We are long overdue, argues arts writer Pockross to give playwright Mary Coyle Chase the serious critical attention she deserves. Chase herself frequently professed that she was "just a housewife and mother who wrote plays," but her prodigious literary catalogue of 14 plays (including two other Broadway successes besides Harvey, three screenplays, and several award-winning children's books) are validation that she did a lot more than pull a six-foot-tall rabbit out of her hat. Pockross illuminates key life events that would become thematic tropes in Chase's plays and examines the social and art scene in early to late 20th-century Denver. Pockross also covers Chase's beginnings as a "sob sister" newspaperwoman and explores her life with her husband and three sons. Harvey certainly takes center stage, but all of Chase's literary works are covered here. This certainly will not be the last word on Mary Coyle Chase, but it's a great opening act.

Synopsis
Playwright Mary Chase hopped to fame, fortune and a Pulitzer Prize when she created her comedy about a gentle soul and his invisible six foot one-half inch tall rabbit friend to counter the sadness the world felt during the height of World War II., Talk about working from home. . . . Pulling Harvey Out of Her Hat chronicles the story of how Mary Chase--a housewife with three children from a working-class Irish community in Denver, Colorado--became a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright for Harvey, a Broadway comedy about a gentle soul and his invisible six-foot-and-one-half-inch-tall rabbit friend. This entertaining and inspiring account traces how Chase achieved her dream of becoming a famous playwright while she remained in Denver--where she worked for the Rocky Mountain News, married an editor, and raised a family. Pulling Harvey Out of Her Hat includes many vignettes and unforgettable stories about the theater industry. It brings to life the history of Franklin Roosevelt's Federal Theatre Project; provides readers with an insider's view of the Broadway scene in the 1940s; and highlights the importance of theater personalities, including Brock Pemberton (Harvey's producer), Antoinette Perry (Harvey's director and namesake for the Tony Awards), and Frank Fay and Jimmy Stewart (actors who played Elwood Dowd, the amiable, slightly tipsy gentleman lead character). The author of fourteen plays, three screenplays, and two award-winning children's books, Mary Chase created Harvey to counter the sadness in the world during the height of World War II. It would win the 1944 Pulitzer Prize (beating out Tennessee Williams's The Glass Menagerie) and remain to this day one of the most beloved and underappreciated works of the twentieth century., The true story of how playwright Mary Chase hopped to fame, fortune, and a Pulitzer Prize--all while raising her family and working as a reporter in Denver, Colorado., Talk about working from home. . . .
