Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. 232 pages. First edition, first printing. Dust jacket art by Jacks. A play based on Henry Fielding's 18th century satire, The History of the Late Mr. Jonathan Wild the Great. Originally directed by Mayer at the Biltmore Theatre in New York City in 1930. It was revived off-Broadway in 1957 and earned George C, Scott an Obie Award. Inscribed by Mayer in June 1929 on the second sheet. Near fine book with the spine lightly faded in a fine dust jacket with a touch of rubbing to the corners. Price clipped. A beautiful copy! Inscribed by Author(s).

Softcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Quarto. 106 mimeographed leaves printed rectos only. Brad-bound in blue wrappers with a Hollywood agent's printed name. Small corner of front wrap lacking, a little smudging on the wrappers, very good or better, internally fine. A fully realized and unpublished screwball comedy novel set around Broadway, presumably prepared for distribution in anticipation of being converted into a film script. Both Mayer and Garrett were successful screenwriters, and they collaborated on at least one other screenplay (*Underground*, 1941). Both of their careers spanned the silent and talkie eras, and both seemed to have a penchant for, but were not limited to, romances or screwball comedies. Mayer wrote original screenplays or adaptations for *To Be or Not to Be, Desire, So Red the Rose, A Royal Scandal, The Buccaneer, They Met in Bombay, Merrily We Go to Hell,* and many others. Garrett wrote original screenplays or adaptations for *Duel in the Sun, The Hurricane, Manhattan Melodrama, A Farewell to Arms, Night Flight, The Story of Temple Drake* and *Gone with the Wind* (albeit uncredited), and many others. Novels such as this were often written on spec and used as extended treatments: mimeographed and then circulated in Hollywood in order to interest a studio in buying the property, commissioning a screenplay, and producing a movie. In this case, we cannot connect it to any specific production, although it might have been changed or adapted. *OCLC* locates no copies, but the Edwin Justus Mayer papers at the New York Public Library hold a version of something with this title. An interesting "novel script.".
