Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

[ex-Library of Congress (stamped "duplicate; exchanged" on the copyright page), with some deterioration to the spine ends, some black smudging at the top of the rear cover, small "Reserve Storage" stamp (lined through) on front cover and title page)]. (3 B&W photographs) An early (and obscure) dramatic effort by Hammerstein, about an idealistic millionaire who wants to use his fortune to help out people in distress, but in a way that disguises the fact that they're receiving charity. (Part of this scheme involves disguising himself as a gypsy, hence the title.) This was Hammerstein's first effort at a straight play after he had contributed to the books and lyrics of a string of moderately successful (but now utterly forgotten) musicals, many years before his hooking up with Richard Rodgers. In fact, his entire career as a non-musical playwright basically consisted of this play and one more, "New Toys," which followed almost immediately: "Gypsy Jim" had an anemic run of 48 performances in January-February 1924, and "New Toys" fared even worse, logging just 24 performances in February and March. Properly discouraged from additional efforts in that vein, he returned to the musical-comedy realm, which was obviously his true metier: his next two shows, "Rose-Marie" and "Sunny," each ran for over a year on Broadway, and he never looked back. (Maybe he just had the wrong collaborator in Mr. Gropper, who also co-authored "New Toys," and whose overall theatrical track record was, in a word, undistinguished.) The Broadway production of "Gypsy Jim," incidentally, was a vehicle for none other than Leo Carrillo, well-remembered for his role as The Cisco Kid's sidekick "Pancho" in the 1950s TV series. This play, for what it's worth, seems t be a bit of a rarity, with no copies detected in the online marketplace in May 2020; this was likely its only printing, and I can't imagine there was too much of a demand for it.

Shop-Beschreibung

Welcome to ReadInk (rhymes with "Dead Ink"), now in our 29th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. **** Although I occasionally lapse into the "royal we" voice, ReadInk is just me, from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing here is automated, and every order or inquiry gets my prompt, personal attention. **** In describing a book's physical condition, I employ standard book-grading terminology (Good/Very Good/Fine, with various in-between gradations as appropriate) and do my best to avoid both excessive jargon and overly-finicky detail. My goal is always to present a faithful impression of a book's condition and appearance; significant flaws are individually noted, or if too numerous are succinctly summarized. **** Books are more than just physical objects, however: they are also intellectual/information vessels, and in almost every case I also include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if it's only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. (This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this, especially in the case of older fiction, which is one of my specialties.) **** I take great care (and pride) in my packaging of books for shipment; I figure it's my responsibility to ensure that each book I send out will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach its new owner in the same condition as advertised. (A sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved.) **** That's all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. **** To view my inventory exclusively, head over to my website -- www.readinkbooks.com. ---- Howard Prouty, prop.
