Red cloth boards lettered in black, under Robert Robinson illustrated dust jacket, four photographic plates from the 1925 William Fox / John Ford film. Minor wear to book, DJ has chipping to bottom of spine panel, but quite nice with good color to front panel which shows Lightnin' on a soapbox with a dog for his audience. Lightnin' was a record-setting play with almost 1300 performances starring Frank Bacon as the lead, in the role of a lifetime. It was made into a film twice, this 1925 one starring Jay Hunt, and a 1930 version starring Will Rogers.
