About This Item
New York: Jonathan Cape / Robert Ballou, 1932. First Edition. First Edition. Association Copy, INSCRIBED by the author in the year of publication on the front endpaper to playwright George Middleton: "For George / with thanks and appreciation of an afternoon with Goethe / Affectionately / Alice / Oct 2(5) 7th 1932."
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.
Very Good plus, with no dust jacket as issued, with light rubbing at the corners and a toned and lightly worn spine.
