Nice copy of Hecht and MacArthur's popular play set in Chicago, centered around newspaper reporters on the police beat. It ran for 278 performances on Broadway between August 14, 1928 - April, 1929, and served as the basis for three film adaptations: Lewis Milestone's The Front Page (1931), starring Adolphe Menjou and Pat O'Brien, Howard Hawks's His Girl Friday (1940), starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell, and Billy Wilder's 1974 adaptation The Front Page, starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau.
