Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 6th printing. (no dust jacket) [modestly shelfworn, light age-toning to edges of text block, tiny dent in top edge of front cover, gilt lettering rubbed to the point of unreadability on the spine but still fairly bold on the front cover]. (3 B&W photographic plates) The title page declares this to be "The Theater [sic] Guild Version with three illustrations from photographs" of that production, which famously starred Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne. It was, in fact, the very first production in which they co-starred after joining the Theatre Guild's company in 1924 and was a key element in establishing their mastery of light comedy. They also headlined the 1931 film version of the play, their only co-starring role in a movie; both were nominated for Academy Awards, but lost out to Wallace Beery and Helen Hayes, respectively.
