Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. This offering is a vintage copy of the program that people clutched as they watched Gone with the Wind in the theaters for the first time. The movie was produced by David O. Selznick - directed by Victor Fleming - based on the book by Margaret Mitchell - starring Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara - and Clark Gable as Rhett Butler . . . and photos of all of them are in this program along with much more. The original price of this program was $.25 and - but for some yellowing that has begun - the program is in very good condition . . . which is a rarity. It MAY have first come out in 1939 . . . when the movie premiered. I can not attest to this program as having been purchased then. If the front and back covers are counted it's a 20 page 9" by 11 7/8" publication . . . still in great condition. Thank you!

(1897-1988, American Writer, Novelist and Translator) on a variety of subjects starting by telling him that her husband had "gone North for an advertising convention and I decided to come home because we never like to have both of us out of town at the same time when Father's health is so precarious. Time and again I sat down to write to you but I have been so rushed and weary of spirit that I did not wish to inflict a dull letter upon you. When one member of a famiyl is seriously ill over a long period the world contracts for the rest. so my life during the last year has been spent between hospital, Red Cross and home. I went to Smith for my college reunion and for visits with friends in Boston and New York. It did me a world of good, only it 'onsettled me in my mind' and made me yearn to go on visiting and traveling. But I just can't get away. Father seems so much weaker. When we have company, we put them up at the Biltmore, which is the closest hotel to us. I wish you would think over this invitation and understand that when you stay at the Biltmore you are our guests. I wondered how you were doing. I wanted to know about the play. I never did know whether you finished it. and try it out on the Lunts. On of their good friends, a well known author, told me recently that the Lunts had a never-ending problem of finding the right kind of play. I have always felt that your play would be marvelous for them. the tone of the play was so right, as it dealt with the completely normal emotions of adults. In these days, there are not too many books or plays about middle aged men and women with almost grown children. The few I know about deal somewhat unhealthily with rather devious minds, whereas you are able to portray mature emotions, frankly passionate, if one must come out flatfootedly and frankly clean. I never like to put my oar in on someone else's business, so, if the following suggestion does not appeal to you, just say no and no harm will be done. I do not claim to know the Lunts intimately. I have seen them perhaps four times and they have had dinner with us. if you'd like me to write them about the play and ask them if they'd like to see it, I'd be happy indeed to do this. I wish it were possible for you to have a year off in which to work at the job you are really fitted for. When I was in New York, I saw my friend Lois Cole, at the Macmillan Company. She had the only news of Herschel any of us have had since he went to Columbia, South America. Several months ago she had a letter. asking her to send him a number of books which were collections of American short stories. He wishes to select from all the volumes enough short stories to make one volume and translate them into Spanish - perhaps like the O'Brien or O'Henry collections. I had dinner with the Dowdeys in New York and they asked if I had seen you and lamented that Clifford was having such a time with his eyes. Clifford is desperately trying to get into the army, bad eyes or no, but he is half through a novel and feels that he should finish it before enlisting. He told me that Kenneth Littauer had been in the air force for a number of months and was now at some field in Mississippi. He is, of course, over age for flying, so I suppose he is doing ground service. Marjorie Rawlings and Norton Baskin were here a month or so ago. Marjorie was speaking as one of a series of lectures, for the benefit of the Red Cross. Vincent Sheean was another speaker. We had the Baskins and Sheean for a quite supper in between a cocktail party and Mr Sheean's lecture. The brief meeting showed him an attractive and interesting person. He's now in the army. you'd find him entertaining. People in New York and Boston have at last gotten the idea that we are in a war. Both cities are dim and are crowded with uniforms of every service. It's queer to see Australian airmen on the streets and soldiers in Dutch and Norwegian uniforms, and I saw uniforms belonging to God know what country. I am sur.
