New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1925. Hardcover. Near Fine/Good. First edition. Gift inscription, and a little soiling at the crown, near fine in good dustwrapper with some overall chipping. Mostly humorous sketches by an interesting and important figure. Born as Elsie Bierbower in Columbus, Ohio, she became a vaudeville star by age eleven, and was soon a star on both Broadway and in London. She became one of the first important American stars to entertain the troops in WWI, and as such was widely beloved, earning her the nickname of "The Sweetheart of the A.E.F." After the war she continued to appear on both stage and screen, as well as writing several popular songs, including the Paramount Pictures theme music "Paramount on Parade"; "Oh Give Me Time for Tenderness" for the film *Dark Victory*; and collaborating on other songs with both Jerome Kern and Irving Berlin. Additionally, she wrote a couple of autobiographies, and was a successful screenwriter, co-writing the script (and songs) for *Madame…

New York: Hotel Astor, 1920. Handwritten Final Draft manuscript for the 1920s "Back Porch" vaudeville skit, seen here under the early working titles "Sleeping Porch" and "Porch Scene." Executed in holograph ink by W.C. Fields on Hotel Astor letterhead stationery. Also included is a typescript draft of the same work, with a few substantive edits in holograph pencil by Fields. A manuscript of titanic importance, showing the very link between W.C. Fields' many talents, which began with a long and successful career in vaudeville, then as an actor and screenwriter. Evidenced here in every dimension is the extreme attention to detail Fields gave his work. The hilarious-though-frustrating account of Fliverton, a disgruntled man who, despite his efforts, can't seem to escape the noise of his bustling neighborhood and take a nap on his sleeping porch. Interruptions include a crying baby, a newsboy, a faulty hammock, and his nagging wife. Fields began his career in vaudeville as a silent juggler, eventually earning the distinction of "world's greatest juggler" and an illustrious career in both silent and early "talkie" films. Variations of the famed "Back Porch" skit appeared in at least two Fields productions, including "It's the Old Army Game" (1926) and again in "It's a Gift" (1934). Manuscript 15 pages on hotel stationery, 9.5 x 6 inches, 4 pages not on stationery, 5.25 x 6.5 inches. Typescript 8.5 x 11 inches, with holograph pencil notations. Fine condition.
