About this Item

First Edition. Association Copy, INSCRIBED in the year of publication on the front endpaper by the author to playwright George Middleton: "To my friend George Middleton / who plays an important part in the life of this city lawyer / Regards / from / Arthur Hays / July 42." Middleton's nephew David's ownership stamp on the front pastedown. New Jersey-born playwright, director, and producer George Middleton served as president of the Dramatists Guild of America from 1927 to 1929. He is perhaps best remembered today for his instrumental role in creating the Minimum Basic Agreement, a collective bargaining agreement that covers benefits, rights, and protections for Writers Guild of America members. Middleton was also known for his collaborations with Guy Bolton, including the successful 1917 stage comedy "Polly With a Past," basis for the 1920 film adaptation. Very Good, lacking the dust jacket, slightly cocked with offsetting to the endpapers and light scuffs on the boards. Seller Inventory # 158104
