Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. Fair dj. First Edition. [moderately shelfworn book with very light bumping at several corners, light soiling and age-toning to edges of text block, one-time owner's flamboyant signature in blue ink at top of title page; the jacket is very worn, with chipping and creasing along the top edge, the l…ower half of the spine panel completely missing, miscellaneous other small tears and bits of paper loss]. "This manual is a useful guide-book intended not only for beginners but for those who have had some experience. The veteran dramatist shows beginners how to write successful plays, and whatever can be shown of some of the more necessary elements of play construction Mr. Swan explains in simple language." The author is blurbed as the dramatic genius behind several plays you've never heard of ("Brown's in Town," "Her Own Money," "She Walked in Her Sleep") and the co-author of one that might actually ring a bell: "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath," a 1917 marriage farce comedy which was a moderate hit in its day and was resurrected a dozen or so years later as the basis for one of Buster Keaton's early MGM talkies. (I shouldn't be too snarky abour Mr. Swan, though: he did have nearly two dozen plays produced on Broadway between 1898 and 1927.
