by HOWARD, Sidney
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1933. Hardcover. Good. First edition. Ex-library with minimal markings, lacking the front fly, spine ends and corners bumped, good only with owner's name and gift inscription from "Philip" to Tony award winning actress Marian Seldes, without dustwrapper. A relatively short running but important play which featured Katharine Cornell and Luther Adler in the original Broadway run. Howard died in a farm accident in 1939. He was awarded a posthumous Academy Award for his screenplay for *Gone With the Wind* (making him the first writer to win both a screenplay Oscar and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama).
