Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Good dj. First Edition. [a good sound copy with modest shelfwear, very slight bumping to lower extremities; the jacket is heavily edgeworn, with a number of small tears and nicks, and small bits of paper loss at most corners]. (13 B&W film stills) Novelization (and thus a true first edition) of the 1928 movie, a World War I drama about "a wistful little French girl who is both mother and sister to the seven young sky fighters of the Royal Fighting Corps quartered on her mother's farm near the French front." Colleen Moore (to whom the book is dedicated) played the girl, and the handsomest of the sky fighters was portrayed by Gary Cooper, at the time just on the cusp of becoming a major star. The picture was originally released with a Vitaphone score and music effects, but no dialogue, so for all intents and purposes it was a silent film. The number and placement of the stills illustrating the text (in three groups of four, printed on both sides of the plates) is somewhat unusual for a G&D Photoplay Edition of the era. The original stage production had a 176-performance run on Broadway in 1917, and was written by Jane Cowl (who also starred in the play) and Jane Murfin.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good-. Good dj. First Edition. [the book is just modestly shelfworn, with some very faint staining on the bottom edge of the text block and a 1938 Christmas gift inscription on the front pastedown, but has been downgraded from a probable VG+ to VG- due to the fact that one of the bound-in film stills is detached; the jacket is heavily edgeworn, with small bits of paper loss at most corners, a 1.5-inch split at the lower rear flapfold, some shallow chipping at the top edge of the rear panel and along the right edge of the front panel]. (7 B&W film stills) Photoplay edition (actually, in this case, the true first edition) of this tale of a exotic cabaret dancer who opportunistically throws over her lover to marry a king, but whose life (and the king's) is then complicated by a revolution, among the leaders of which is her scorned lover. (In the movie, the king was played by Roland Young and the lover by Basil Rathbone, the latter a replacement for the originally-cast Laurence Olivier, who (it was reported) was sidelined by a "refractory appendix," whatever that means.) Per a statement on the title page, this 1932 RKO release (instigated under the RKO-Pathe banner, as blurbed on the book, but taken over in a merger too complicated to explain here) marked "the return to the American screen of Pola Negri," a publicity factoid further promoted by the reproduction, opposite the frontispiece photo, of a letter from La Negri herself, in which she states that she has "pledged [herself] to give to this role the best that it is me and it is my hope that in interpreting the character of a woman with lofty ambitions and high ideals, I have not failed." The Polish-born actress, who came to Hollywood in 1922 on the strength of her appearances in a number of Ernst Lubitsch's German-made epics, had gone into a brief "retirement" from the screen in 1928, after marrying her second husband; by the following year, however, she was already working again, appearing in one last silent film, a 1929 British feature entitled THE WOMAN HE SCORNED, directed by German director Paul Czinner. Her subsequent return to America in this film (also her first talkie), however, was less than triumphant, and she promptly "retired" again for a few years before making a spate of European films (one in France, six in Germany) in the mid-to-late 1930s. Although A WOMAN COMMANDS wasn't a hit, its theme song, "Paradise" (sung by Negri) was, and its popularity was enough to launch her on a successful vaudeville tour. One curious note: the dust jacket illustration, by the talented Mach-Tey, whose vivid illustrations graced the jackets of many G&D Photoplay Editions, is in this instance (and no other that I know of) is signed "Mach Tey Sitka," for reasons unknown. NOTE that one of the bound-in film stills is detached from the binding; and that another is actually a double-page spread. Illustrated by (dj) Mach-Tey (illustrator).…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Dawn Patrol' is a gripping narrative of aerial combat and the heavy psychological toll of command during the First World War.

Through vivid depictions of dogfights and the strained atmosphere of the officers' mess, the work captures the fleeting lives and intense camaraderie of those known as the 'dawn patrol.' It serves as a powerful testament to the lost generation of aviators, balancing high-stakes action with a somber reflection on the futility of war.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Lilac Time' is a poignant historical romance set against the turbulent backdrop of World War I. The story follows the emotional and harrowing experiences of Jeannine, a young French woman living near a British aviation camp, and her blossoming love for Philip Blythe, an idealistic British pilot. As the Great War rages in the skies over France, the narrative explores the intense pressures of military life, the courage of the aviators, and the resilience of the human heart in the face of constant danger.Through its evocative depiction of wartime France, the work captures both the charm of rural life and the stark realities of the conflict. This evocative tale of devotion and sacrifice highlights the fleeting nature of peace and the enduring power of love amidst the uncertainty of the front lines. A classic example of early 20th-century romantic fiction, 'Lilac Time' remains a moving tribute to the generation that lived and loved during the Great War.
