359pp. Typescript in black three-ring binder. Stamp on first page shows the work was registered with the Screen Writers' Guild, Inc, Affliliated with the Authors' League of America. Toning and edgewear to pages. Tears to a number of pages, but they remain bound. Numerous handwritten corrections and notes to text. Story concerns itself with a young man's return from WWI and his choice to head west to Hollywood and join the movie industry in its early days. He succeeds - there's mention of a world premiere of one film in 1924 - and Morrow and Board's manuscript is presented as a novel, which is an unexpected choice given their shared film background and the subject matter. Robert "Bob" Board accumulated a number of screen credits but perhaps more importantly, made meaningful connections in Hollywood, counting Marion Davies (about whom he later shot a feature documentary), Stan Laurel and Federico Fellini as friends. He was an accomplished photographer as well and captured candid moments of numerous stars of the age. Neyle Morrow appeared in a number of the great director Samuel Fuller's films, including Shock Corridor and The Naked Kiss. Two black and white snapshots of Morrow and Board laid in. There's no evidence this work ever received serious consideration for publication or adaptation as a film. Size: 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall.…
