Add to basketCondition: Near Fine. First edition, first printing. Octavo. 118, [3]. 9.5" x 6.5" BRINGING THEATER BACK TO HOBOKEN In one of the greatest advertising pushes of the 1920s, humorist Christopher Morley brought Hoboken back to life. Morley and set designer Cleon Throckmorton reinvigorated two abandoned theaters, creating the Old Ri…alto Theater, and set about reviving Victorian melodramas. Threaded with disdain for Broadway and gentle ribbing towards the Old Rialto's patrons, Morley's advertisements drew flocks of revelers into the once-dead streets as the theaters overflowed every night. They are collected here with Earnest Elmo Calkins' commentary, along with essays by Morley, Throckmorton, and Ogden Nash (his first published piece of comic writing) about their endeavors on Hudson Street. Limited to 999 numbered copies, of which this is 295, Morley's work opens a door into the 1920s and '30s theater scene, explored by the top comic voices of the period and captured in The Foundry Press's jaunty, fine press style. [Lee 86]. Gentle soiling extremities, several vertical creases spine, 3" cleanly repaired closed tear illustrated cover label, near fine. Overall a tight and square copy. Plain orange wrappers with illustrated cover label (binding variant unaccounted for in Lee). Embellishments by Edward A. Wilson, George Illian, Cleon Throckmorton. August William Hutaf, and Jay.

The present collection offers a window into the literary world of American poet and humorist Ogden Nash (19021971). It is comprised of 239 volumes published between 1886 and 1971, among which are numerous presentation and association copies. All books in the present collection come from the shared personal library of Ogden and Frances Nash. The collection spans poetry, humor, light verse, and literary criticism, and includes a significant number of first and limited editions, often in original bindings or dust jackets. Of particular note are six books inscribed by Nash to his wife, Frances (including five authored by Nash, one of which is in an "Author's Copy" half-leather binding). Included in the collection are 59 works by Nash, three of which feature edits to the text in Nash's hand. Twenty-seven of these Nash publications are Author's copies bound in half-leather. There are an additional 48 volumes bearing inscriptions to Nash from other authors and poets, most notably twelve volumes inscribed by S.J. Perelman. Among the 132 uninscribed volumes included here, 45 bear Ogden Nash's ownership inscription (10 bear the ownership inscription of Frances Nash). The number and range of authorial inscriptions represented in the present collections reflect Nash's wide-ranging literary friendships and professional associations. Notable among these are twelve warmly inscribed titles by humorist S.J. Perelman, whose acerbic wit is on display in a series of affectionate, playful, and sometimes satirical inscriptions to both Nash and his wife, Frances. These volumes also reflect Perelman and Nash's shared experiences in Hollywood and the literary scene of mid-century America. Other highlights include inscriptions from John Betjeman, Christopher Morley, E.C. Bentley, A.P. Herbert, David McCord, William Plumer Fowler, and Holger Lundbergh, among otherseach evidencing Nash's influence and the esteem in which he was held across literary and cultural circles in the U.S. and the U.K. O.
