Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good dj. Illustrated by (dj design) Arnold Johnson (illustrator). First Edition. [minor bumping and wear to extremities, faint soiling to fore-edge, ownership signature of film director Vincent Sherman on front endpaper; the jacket is a little faded at the spine and on a narrow strip at the left and top edges of the front panel, with a bit of paper loss at the spine ends and several corners]. Two plays which had minimal runs on Broadway (7 performances and 12 performances, respectively), a fact which the playwright seems to rather revel in. The jacket blurb observes that "these brilliant plays were damned by the New York Critics," and that "the storm which greeted the production and quick demise of [the plays] has not been equalled in the New York theater in years." In his "Reckless Preface," Lawson goes after the New York critics rather mercilessly, bemoaning the Broadway theatre's "continued dependence on the vapors and fancies of nine individuals," and expressing his wish that one critic in particular (Percy Hammond of the N.Y. Herald Tribune) should "be so abashed by my rebukes that he will resign, dress in sackcloth and ashes, and hie him to a monastery." In any event, Lawson by 1934 was pretty much done with the stage altogether, having discovered Hollywood, where he was not only extremely well paid but also found a receptive audience for his left-wing rabble-rousing. (There's also a Foreword by Harold Clurman, called "A Preface to John Howard Lawson," which is a summary of his playwriting career.).

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+ dj. Illustrated by (dj design) Leo Manso (illustrator). First Edition. [nice clean book, minimal wear to spine ends, a couple of tiny spots on top edge of text block; jacket lightly edgeworn (see notes)] (B&W photographs) A major theoretical work by the outspoken Hollywood Ten screenwriter, who apparently had a lot of time on his hands to think about such matters; a little prison time and some blacklisting will do that for you. The book is described in the jacket blurb as "the first serious attempt by an American writer to develop an aesthetic of the film, [combining] intimate practical experience in Hollywood with an understanding of avant-garde theory and trends." Very uncommon in such nice condition. [NOTE that although the book itself appears to be the American first edition, the jacket looks like it was prepared specifically for British distribution, with a "42s" printed price on the front flap and advertisements for other books available from Trans Atlantic Book Service, Ltd., London on the rear panel.].
