New York: Grosset & Dunlap, 1924. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. First edition (photoplay edition). Small octavo. ix, 236pp. Gift inscription on the half title. Binding slightly cocked, spine ends bumped and rubbed, with a tiny tear at the base of the spine, page edges and first and last couple pages lightly foxed, very good in a good only dust jacket, with heavy chipping at the spine ends, smaller chips and tears along the edges, a bit of rubbing, toning most notably on the spine. Novelized by MacMahon from Jeanie MacPherson's filmscript of the Cecil B. DeMille spectacular, the first half a religious extravaganza, the second half a modern day parable.
