About This Item
Boston: Little, Brown, 1928. First Edition. First Edition. Association Copy, INSCRIBED in the year of publication by the author on the front endpaper to playwright George Middleton: "To George Middleton / with affectionate regards / David Belasco / October 1928."
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.
Very Good lacking the dust jacket. Spine and board edges lightly faded, with light soil on the copyright page.
