Pasadena: By the Author, 1935. First Edition. Red cloth boards; dustjacket; 124pp. Tight, straight copy, about Fine in the uncommon dustjacket, lightly rubbed and soiled but still attractive and free of losses, VG or better. Satirical stage drama, based on Sinclair's 1933 pamphlet "The Way Out." Produced as a fund-raiser during Sinclair's EPIC campaign, but probably never staged since. Unlike most other Sinclair works from this period, there was no simultaneous issue from a trade publisher. According to Ahouse, Sinclair had planned this as a film, and thus there are no act or scene divisions in the printed play. The film was never produced.Uncommon in jacket. AHOUSE A55a.
