Sobre este artículo
New York: Coward McCann, 1933. First Edition. First Edition. Association Copy, INSCRIBED in the year of publication on the front endpaper by the author to playwright George Middleton: "For George Middleton / with my warm regards / Elmer Rice / Apr. 1933."
Middleton's nephew David's ownership stamp on the front pastedown.
New Jersey-born playwright, director, and producer George Middleton served as president of the Dramatists Guild of America from 1927 to 1929. He is perhaps best remembered today for his instrumental role in creating the Minimum Basic Agreement, a collective bargaining agreement that covers benefits, rights, and protections for Writers Guild of America members. Middleton was also known for his collaborations with Guy Bolton, including the successful 1917 stage comedy "Polly With a Past," basis for the 1920 film adaptation.
Inspired by the Depression, with strong anti-capitalist themes, the play opened at the Empire Theatre on Broadway in January, 1933, and closing after only 49 performances.
Very Good plus, lacking the dust jacket, slightly cocked, with a faded spine.
