Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good+ dj. Illustrated by (typography/binding/dj design) Guy Fleming (illustrator). 2nd printing. [light shelfwear only to book; the jacket is a little bit scuffed at the edges of the front panel, and has a small tear at the top rear flap-fold]. (B&W photographs) INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper: "To Dick Goldstone / Virgil T. warmly / 27 May 1970." Memoir by the noted American composer, "who was also a performer, a theater man, and a music critic." The inscription, to film producer Richard Goldstone, documents Thomson's tenuous connection with the 1970 feature film THE BABY MAKER, which was produced by Goldstone. I say "tenuous" for this reason: although the film is listed among Thomson's relatively few film credits on his Wikipedia page (of which only one other was for a Hollywood feature, 1958's THE GODDESS), the musical score for THE BABY MAKER is actually credited to Fred Karlin. According to a Los Angeles Times article (May 28, 1970), Thomson was engaged in providing "musical supervision" for the film, at the request of his friend James Bridges (its director), although it's also stated that "he won't do any composing" for it. (I've so far been unable to uncover a source confirming that Thomson was given any kind of credit on the film itself.) Signed by Author.

1st edition. Original period modernist-typeface covers designed by Aron Hefter, bound into stiff pamphlet protector, 12mo, 29 pages, 20 cm. In Yiddish. Title translates as, ?Hot Hearts: Presentations.? A collection of short stories. 1 of 4,000 copies printed. Cover design by the painter and caricaturist Aron Hefter (aka, Gefter, 1894-1963). Hefter studied at Vilna Art School from 1912 to 1915, and then, from 1921 to 1924, at VKHUTEIN, under V. Favorskii, S. Gerasimov, and D. Kardovskii. Starting in1925, Hefter began to design periodicals and posters, publishing caricatures of politicians, clerics, and public figures of the Jewish theater and literature, as well as constructivist compositions and photomontages. In 1934, an exhibition of his work was held in Moscow. Yekhezkel Dobrushin (1883?1953) was a ?literary researcher, playwright, poet, and prose author, born in the village of Mutyn, Ukraine?In 1902 he moved abroad, studied there in the free Russian high school, and subsequently continued his education at the Sorbonne? where he passed his law faculty exams. ?He was chairman of the Parisian organization of the Socialist Zionist Party? and ?returned home in 1909?.In 1916 he settled in Kiev. In 1917 he was active in the united socialist party. He was one of the founders of the ?Kultur-lige? (Culture league), as well as a member of its central committee and its executive bureau. He was a teacher of Yiddish literature in the Jewish state people?s university, in the teachers? seminary, and in other higher educational institutions. He began his literary activities in Hebrew in Hatsfira (The siren), and in Yiddish in Vokhnblat (Weekly newspaper) edited by Hillel Tsaytlin. From 1920 he was living in Moscow where he was active in local Jewish cultural institutions. He was secretary of the first Jewish writers? organization in Moscow. Having received the title of professor, he gave lectures at the University for Nationalities of the West, in the academy for education, in the Jewish state chamber theater, in the theatrical studio of the Kultur-lige, and in the Jewish section of the Second Moscow University [now, Moscow State Pedagogical University], among others? He took an active part in publishing and editing the publications of the ?Kultur-lige?: [including] the children?s magazines?; Bikher-velt (Book world) in 1919; the journal Shtrom (Current) in Moscow in 1922-1924; Yungvald (Young forest) in 1924-1927; the anthology Sovetish (Soviet) in 1934-1941; and the Moscow newspaper Eynikeyt(Unity), 1942-1948. He wrote on the topic of the Yiddish classical writers and about Soviet Yiddish writers from the oldest to the youngest. As a playwright he accomplished much for the Yiddish State Theater in Moscow. Aside from his own plays, he adapted for the stage a string of works by Mendele Moykher-Sforim, Sholem-Aleykhem, Goldfaden, and others.? In the late 1920s he was visiting all the new Jewish settlements in Crimea, finding there images for his work?.The migrants dubbed one of their settlements ?Dobrushino.? Dobrushin also invested a great deal in the development of the Yiddish theater. He served as literary director of the Moscow Yiddish State Theater. On March 31, 1939 he was awarded by the Soviet government with an ?honorary degree? ?for extraordinary service in the development of Soviet theatrical art.? In the history of Soviet Yiddish literature, Dobrushin acquired an extraordinary reputation for his literary criticism and research work. This began with two short books? Aleksander blok, etyud (Study of Aleksander Blok) (Kiev: Jewish Section, State Publ., 1921), 28 pp.; and Gedankengang (Reasoning) (Kiev: Kultur-lige, 1922), 135 pp.?published 1921-1922 in Kiev. From that point forward, not a single important literary phenomenon transpired without his judgment. All well-known writers, 1920s-1940s, found a reflection in Dobrushin?s articles. His last great work was the monograph Dovid bergelson (Dovid Bergelson) (Moscow, 1947), 341 pp. H.
