Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: 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-. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good dj. Illustrated by (dj) Mach-Tey (illustrator). 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.

(4 B&W film stills) Photoplay edition to tie in with the 1929 M-G-M film adaptation of the Lonsdale play, a starring vehicle for Norma Shearer (her second talkie). She plays a charming Australian widow who's in league with a notorious jewel thief who's posing as her butler, while she's also being romanced by a British lord (played by Basil Rathbone). Norma Shearer appears in all four of the stills bound into the book, as well as on the front panel of the photographic dust jacket; Rathbone is depicted in just one, the frontispiece, in which he's in a clinch with Shearer. Never a studio to let a good property go to waste, M-G-M remade the film in 1937, with Joan Crawford.
