Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Very Good+ dj. First Edition. [nice tight clean book, minimal shelfwear only; jacket a little age-toned at edges and spine, but still quite good-looking]. (B&W photographs) Two veteran screenwriters, both of whom earned their chops during the silent-film days, teamed up for this "up-to-the-minute, laughter-provoking comedy" about a young secretary for a United Nations commission, who "returns to her small-town home with a just-born baby and a not-too-convincing story of how she happens to have him on her hands." Many farcical complications ensue. Ms. Ryerson (1892-1965) came to the movies in the mid-1920s, after having already established herself as a journalist and writer of short fiction; she often wrote in collaboration with her second husband, Colin Clements, who she married in 1927. They co-authored numerous plays (including three that made it to Broadway in the 1940s) and several mystery novels, and Ryerson herself had quite a decent string of movie credits, including as one of the three credited screenwriters on THE WIZARD OF OZ. Ms. Miller (1894-1985) was most active as a scenarist during the 1920s, with just a handful of credits after that. "Little Scandal" had its debut, and perhaps its biggest success, at the Pasadena Playhouse in December 1950; the two (count 'em) photos that illustrate the book are presumably from that production, which had absolutely nobody in it you've ever heard of, with the possible exception of Madge Blake, a character actress who popped up all over the place on American TV in the 1950s and 1960s.…

Each collaborator has significant screenplay contributions most notably THE WIZARD OF OZ (Ryerson) and THE BRIDGE OF SAN LUIS REY (Miller).…

Co-author Florence Ryerson also wrote (along with Noel Langley and Edgar Allan Woolf) the screenplay for THE WIZARD OF OZ in 1939 (starring Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, Bert Lahr, Margaret Hamilton, etc). Her collaborator, Alice D. G. Miller, previously wrote the screenplay for THE BRIDGE OF SAN LUIS REY. In LITTLE SCANDAL a young secretary to a roving United Nations commission returns from Europe to her small-town home with a newly-born baby. No one believes the truth -- that the baby is not hers, but that of a friend dying in a hospital abroad. From the Dust Jacket: "Instead of ostracizing her, the ladies of the community go modern in a big way. They insist fiercely upon backing her up [but first] demand that she stop telling that absurd story." Two black-market-for-babies crooks create further hilarious complications. .
