Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Illustrated by E.W. Kemble (illustrator). 1st Edition (second issue). (blue cloth with gold-and-black stamped illustration; no dust jacket) [moderate shelfwear to bottom edges and upper corners, gilt lettering and illustration on front cover still bright and attractive]. (pen and ink drawings) The author, a New York newspaperman at the time, was already well known for his "Chimmie Fadden" stories, about an Irish Bowery hooligan; these were dramatized for the stage, and the character was later featured in a number of silent film comedies. "Daughter," his first full-length novel, was centered around a young Italian immigrant girl who finds success as a dancer after having worked various menial jobs (fruit seller, sweatshop worker); a stage dramatization was announced as being in the works not long after its publication, but it's unclear whether it was actually staged or not.
