About this Item
First edition. Preface by Heywood Broun. Modest edgewear on the boards, last page skinned and off color from sticker removal, very good lacking the uncommon dustwrapper. Inscribed by the author using the full front fly: "To Miss Franklin, with best wishes for a long and happy career. Sincerely, George Kelly. Parkersburg, W.V. Apr. 21 / 25." A wildly successful Broadway comedy that made Kelly the most talked-of playwright on Broadway (a few decades later his niece, Grace, would reign first in Hollywood and then in Monaco). It was the basis for three films: a 1926 Malcolm St. Clair version featuring Louise Brooks and Ford Sterling; a 1934 Charles Resiner version re-scripted by Herman J. Mankiewicz and featuring Spencer Tracy; and finally a 1946 Harry Beaumont version with Red Skelton and Marilyn Maxwell. Seller Inventory # 412720
