Although there are some nice details, I can't say I was particularly drawn into Colette's glimpses of backstage.  After her first divorce, she worked as a dancer, although at the time this was published, she was on her second marriage and I think had left the stage.  According to Wikipedia, in 1907 her onstage kiss with her girlfriend in Rêve d'Égypte almost caused a riot, which definitely would've made a more interesting tale than this one of weary performers in a "hick" town.
