Sobre este item
New York: Samuel French, 1928. Hardcover. Very Good. First edition. Octavo. Blue cloth lettered in silver. Modest spotting on the boards, and a little toning at the spine, very good lacking the dust jacket. Inscribed by the author to Barrett H. Clark, his editor at Samuel French: "For Barrett H. Clark, my first play, but I hope not our last association. Sincerely, Bartlett Cormack." With Clark's bookplate on the front pastedown. This play was a success on Broadway and was Edward G. Robinson's first starring role, and was the basis for the silent film adapted by Cormack from his play and directed by Lewis Milestone in 1928, which was one of the first films nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1929. The film was remade in 1951 John Cromwell film noir starring actor Robert Mitchum. Clark was an exceptionally important figure in modern American drama, aside from authoring many books, he served as the longtime literary editor for the drama publisher Samuel French.
