First Edition, First Printing. Quarto (12 3/8 x 8 7/8 inches; 313 x 225 mm), [32] pages, in stapled pictorial wrappers (soft cover).Scarce program for the first season of the company that is now known as American Ballet Theatre. The profusely illustrated program for 1940 includes synopses of 17 ballets, profiles of choreographers and dancers, stage designs, and an introduction by Lucius Beebe. Laid in is a single page announcing that The Red Poppy would be performed in place of Etude on April 13 (although this would not have been 1940).Ballets that first year included La Fille Mal Gardée, Giselle, Swan Lake, Les Sylphides, Carnaval, Death and the Maiden, Judgment of Paris, Voices of Spring, Ode to Glory, Peter and the Wolf, and a "ballet play" by William Saroyan called "The Great American Goof." Cover illustration by Nicholas de Molas.In 1939, a group of dancers, choreographers, and producers associated with Russian-born Mikhail Mordkin's ballet company joined together to establish a new dance company they called Ballet Theatre. The company premiered in New York on January 11, 1940, to great critical acclaim. Its repertory included not only 19th-century classical ballets, but also works by living choreographers, including Bronislava Nijinska from Russia, Antony Tudor from England, and Eugene Loring from the United States. Ballet Theatre was renamed American Ballet Theatre in 1957. (Reference: Library of Congress, 2015 exhibition).OCLC shows about a dozen institutional holdings of this program, but it's very scarce in the antiquarian book trade. An excellent, well-illustrated overview of the first year of America's premier ballet company.CONDITION: Soiling to wrappers, a bit of rusting to staples. A Very Good or better copy.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. with photographs by Jerome Zerbe and an introduction by Lucius Beebe Federal Printing Service, N.Y.C. [62] pp. 1937 15" x 11" The scarce privately printed photo album of legendary nightclub "El Morocco" documents its many famous members, including Cary Grant, Douglas Fairbanks, Franklin Roosevelt, and other notables This privately printed book has become as elusive as a table at El Morocco was in the 1930s. Folio-size, it is filled with half-tone portraits of the eclectic mix of Park Avenue society, Hollywood celebrity, and European nobility who frequented the club, all in evening wear and posed with the zebra-patterned banquettes as a backdrop. Divine! Those first years of El Morocco were stupendous. There wasn t a celebrity or a socialite who didn t clamor to get in. Evening dress was mandatory, and so large were the crowds that there was often a waiting line a block long to get in. --Jerome Zerbe.
