Hardcover. Condition: Poor. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair dj. Later Printing. [heavily worn book with numerous flaws, cracked hinges, most of rear endpaper torn away, tear in final text page (no loss of actual text), etc. (there is a nice vintage bookseller's label from Newbegins, San Francisco, on the rear pastedown, though); the jacket's a bit of a mess also, with numerous tears, creases, internal and external tape-repairs, staining, etc.]. Novelization of the popular courtroom melodrama about a showgirl who's accused of murdering her millionaire lover, and whose defense attorney is her brother. The play had a 437-performance run on Broadway during the 1927/28 season and was then adapted by M-G-M for its second all-talkie production, released in 1929. A much-abused copy, for sure, although the jacket might pass muster after encasement in mylar (which we will do before sending it out) and transfer to a better copy of the book.
