SONG REQUIREMENTS OF TALKING PICTURES by Newcomer, Walter W - 1928

NY: Walter W. Newcomer & Asso., Inc, 1928. First Edition. Soft cover. Very Good. Probably 1st printing, although we note that WorldCat says, "2 editions published in 1928 in English." Some refer to a 1930 publication date. WorldCat cites multiple electronic copies in libraries, but only five (5) print copies. Not reprinted. Off light yellow pictorial wraps (drawing of black man or a man in black face singing on a movie screen with an audience watching. 34pp. No illustrations. Advice re "Talkies: Promoting Song Sales," "Utility Songs," " The Theme Song," "The Mother Song," The Rustic Song," "The Irish Song,"Flirtation Songs," and many other categories. The fore edge page margins have a tidemark (waterstain) running down the edge and running just to the text. Because of the overall physical condition we are inclined, in spite of the stain, to grade this copy a vg copy. Some collectors will insist that the stain requires a lower grade. Rare.
