FORMER OWNER STAMP Back Blank Plain cream Endpapers FOX. B/W Illustrated by Pogany with 8 full-page black & white illustrations printed on light gray paper. .Not a distorting mirror, not magnifying the aberrations or minimizing the virtues of the world's movie capital. It is a crystal-clear and crystal-clean device which gives a fine image of its subject. The pathetic story of the Cigarette Girl Dorothy, who becomes Moona Maya, the star of the A. B. C. pictures headed by A. C. Sourwine, the film magnate, is a drama of youth trying to adjust itself to the strange new world of talking pictures. Allan Day - whoever he is - is not an Alice in Wonderland. He is a sane observer in an insane asylum. He dedicates his book to 29,126,670 American girls under the age of 25. Mr. Day has not attempted any really scientific approach to the subject of movieitis; not by any means. He has given it a treatment exclusively his own and the result is an overpowering and dramatic book.".
