Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. First Edition. (no dust jacket) [FAIR condition only, although solidly bound and internally clean except for the initials of (I guess) a one-time owner on the front pastedown; externally, though, it's kind of a mess, with a number of small paper bits stuck to the front cover (which is also quite soiled), and a large ugly stain on the rear cover (I suspect the paper bits are remnants of the no-longer-present dust jacket, which was probably moisture-adhered to the book at some point)]. Novel about a sophisticated New York marriage that turns sour. The first of only two published novels by Ms. Wilde, a prolific short story writer and sometime playwright, who later became better known as a screenwriter, notably of the classic screwball comedies BRINGING UP BABY (she had also written the original magazine story, and shared the screenplay credit with with Dudley Nichols) and I WAS A MALE WAR BRIDE, both directed by Howard Hawks (and, for what it's worth, both featuring Cary Grant in drag). For those who are interested in such minutae, the dedicatee of this novel, "E.V.H.," was undoubtedly her second (of four) husbands, Ernest Victor Heyn. This novel was her first entree to Hollywood, as it was announced that Paramount had purchased the movie rights (although no movie was ever made), but it was RKO's later purchase of the Collier's story that became BRINGING UP BABY that firmly established her screenwriting career.

Magazine. Zustand: Very Good+. Illustrated by (cover) Howard Butler (illustrator). (Vol. 99, No. 15). [nice clean copy, light edgewear, tiny nick in front cover at left end of bottom edge, old subscription label at lower right corner of front cover]. Undoubtedly one of the best (or at least most fruitful) single issues of an American popular magazine ever published, by virtue of its inclusion of the first printings of two stories that became the basis for two acknowledged classics of Hollywood movie-making: "Bringing Up Baby" by Hagar Wilde (filmed under that title by Howard Hawks, a high-water mark of screwball comedy, with Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant) and "Stage to Lordsburg" by Ernest Haycox (adapted by screenwriter Dudley Nichols for John Ford's great Western STAGECOACH, which made a star of John Wayne). Additional short stories in this issue are by Matt Taylor ("Loser's End"), Sidney Herschel Small ("Mountain of Gold"), Harold Lamb ("The Devil's Song"), and Frederick Hazlitt Brennan ("A Matter of Sentiment," a short-short). There are also installments of serials by Max Brand ("Six Golden Angels," Part I) and Dwight Mitchell Wiley ("Castle Key," Part VII). Feature articles include a profile of actor Burgess Meredith and an article about flooding in Cincinnati.

Vintage double weight photograph of Katharine Hepburn, Howard Hawks, and a resting Cary Grant on the set of the 1938 film. One of the foundational entries in the canon of American screwball comedies. Based on the short story by Hagar Wilde which originally appeared in Collier's Weekly magazine on April 10, 1937. Zoologist David Huxley (Grant) develops a wary interest in the niece of dowager Mrs. Carelton Random (Hepburn), which, as in all great screwball comedies, is not finalized as a romance until about the last ten seconds of the film. But what makes this film singular is that the story is built around the maintenance aspects of raising a pet leopard, creating a rapid-fire blur of events and dialogue that doesn't let up for the entire 102-minute running time. The film bombed upon release, causing RKO to drop both of the stars, but today ranks as one of the best films made by either. 8 x 10 inches. Near Fine. National Film Registry.
