by (FIELDS, W.C.) WEBER, Joan
New York: Jacobsen-Hodgkinson Corporation, 1928. Softcover. Very Good. Photoplay edition. Illustrated wrappers. Front wrapper professionally (and seamlessly) reinforced, pages browned at the edges and small chips to the bottom corner of the first two pages, else an attractive very good plus copy of this fragile production. Front wrapper illustrated with portraits of stars W.C. Fields, Chester Conklin, and Louise Fazenda. Rear wrap and text are illustrated with stills from the film. One of Field's first full-length films, a remake of the 1914 Mack Sennett film that featured Charlie Chaplin. *OCLC* locates three copies. Although not marked as such, this copy is from the library of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Peter Taylor and his wife, the National Book Award-nominated poet Eleanor Ross Taylor. (Inventory #: 23799)
