Good condition overall, showing moderate wear typical of fragile 1920s photoplay editions. The color pictorial wrappers, featuring Patsy Ruth Miller, remain bright and legible though moderately rubbed, with shallow creasing, small edge chips, and a few short closed tears at the spine ends and fore-edge. The spine itself is lightly creased with minor loss at the head but fully legible. Corners are rounded and softened. The rear wrapper, with photographic portraits of the principal cast (including Myrna Loy in an early credited role), is clean with light scuffing and minor soil. Internally, the binding is intact but slightly shaken; the paper is evenly toned to tan from age, as expected of the period’s pulp stock, with occasional light foxing. Ownership name in ink to the front endpaper (“Roger C. Smith”). Despite wear, the book is complete and presents well, retaining strong shelf appeal. Octavo, 185 pp., color pictorial wrappers. A Popular Plays and Screen Library photoplay edition issued to promote the 1926 Warner Bros. silent film starring Patsy Ruth Miller, with Clive Brook, George O’Hara, and a young Myrna Loy. The rear cover reproduces six studio portraits of the cast. One of the relatively scarce Warner Bros. tie-in paperbacks distributed as cross-promotion for the studio’s “Classics of the Screen” features.…
