first edition Hardcover
1932 · New York
by DRAGO, Harry Sinclair
New York: A.L. Burt, 1932. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. First edition, and photoplay edition. Spotting to the rear board, and paper a little browned, thus not quite very good in very good dustwrapper with a fairly light tidemark or stain along the edge of the spine. True first edition, novelized by Drago from the Frances Marion screenplay for the 1931 King Vidor-directed film featuring Wallace Beery and Jackie Cooper. A cinema classic, both Beery (Best Actor) and Marion (Best Writing, Original Story) won Academy Awards, and both Vidor and the film were nominated. (Inventory #: 75436)
