Hardcover. Zustand: Poor. Fair dj. Later Printing. [heavily worn book with numerous flaws, cracked hinges, most of rear endpaper torn away, tear in final text page (no loss of actual text), etc. (there is a nice vintage bookseller's label from Newbegins, San Francisco, on the rear pastedown, though); the jacket's a bit of a mess also, with numerous tears, creases, internal and external tape-repairs, staining, etc.]. Novelization of the popular courtroom melodrama about a showgirl who's accused of murdering her millionaire lover, and whose defense attorney is her brother. The play had a 437-performance run on Broadway during the 1927/28 season and was then adapted by M-G-M for its second all-talkie production, released in 1929. A much-abused copy, for sure, although the jacket might pass muster after encasement in mylar (which we will do before sending it out) and transfer to a better copy of the book. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Trial of Mary Dugan' is a gripping courtroom drama based on the acclaimed play by Bayard Veiller. The narrative unfolds through the high-stakes legal proceedings surrounding Mary Dugan, a young showgirl accused of the brutal murder of her wealthy lover, Edgar Rice. As the evidence mounts against her, the atmosphere of the courtroom becomes increasingly charged with tension, secrets, and unexpected revelations.Through the eyes of the defense and the prosecution, the story explores themes of justice, morality, and the search for truth within the rigid structure of the American legal system. The work captures the sensationalist nature of 1920s crime trials, highlighting the interplay between public perception and the hard facts of a criminal case. As witnesses are called and cross-examined, the true character of Mary Dugan and those in her inner circle is slowly unmasked.This compelling novelization by William Almon Wolff preserves the dramatic intensity and intricate plotting of the original stage production. It remains a classic example of early legal fiction, offering readers a front-row seat to a trial where the stakes are life and death, and the final verdict hinges on the smallest of details.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Trial of Mary Dugan' is a gripping courtroom drama that captures the tension and spectacle of a high-profile murder case in 1920s New York. When Mary Dugan, a beautiful Follies girl, is accused of the brutal murder of her wealthy benefactor, Edgar Rice, the stage is set for a sensational legal battle. The evidence against her seems insurmountable, and with her life hanging in the balance, the trial becomes a desperate search for the truth hidden behind a web of scandal and secrets.Written by William Almon Wolff and based on the acclaimed stage play, this narrative masterfully navigates the intricacies of the legal system and the human emotions that drive it. As witnesses testify and shocking revelations emerge, the reader is drawn into the claustrophobic atmosphere of the courtroom, where every word could mean the difference between freedom and the electric chair. A pioneering work in the legal thriller genre, 'The Trial of Mary Dugan' remains a compelling exploration of justice, loyalty, and the price of survival in the urban jungle. This classic tale of suspense highlights the vulnerabilities of those caught in the glare of public scrutiny and the dramatic twists that define the search for innocence.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. First Edition. (no dust jacket) [a good solid copy, slight wear to extremities, large and attractive custom bookplate (Alex and Lois Webster) on front pastedown]. Mystery novel, of sorts, centered around New York's nightlife; one critic at the time noted that "although there is a murder in it, [it] rather is a story of too much luxury and a taut marriage than a 'who done it' book." Another contemporary review summarized the plot: "Martha and Tack Thayer, around whom the story develops, are supposed to be a fairly typical young New York couple with expensive tastes and a strong attraction for night life. Martha becomes infatuated with an attractive gigolo and Tack becomes a victim of blackmail. There is much of recent New York murders to be seen in some of the developments of the story. It is claimed to be an accurate account, though unflattering picture of a section of New York life, but in any case it bears the stamp of reality and that in itself is a worth-while accomplishment." The author, a one-time city editor of the New York Tribune, had scored a success with his previous book, a novelization of the hit play "The Trial of Mary Dugan," but unfortunately was only able to produce a handful of additional novels before his untimately death in 1933, at the age of 47.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First edition. A small stain at the bottom of the front board, else near fine in a nice, very good dustwrapper with small chips on the front panel. A novelization of a wildly successful Broadway comedy that made George Kelly the most talked-of playwright on Broadway (a few decades later his niece, Grace Kelly, would reign first in Hollywood and then in Monaco). It was the basis for three films: a 1926 Malcolm St. Clair version featuring Louise Brooks and Ford Sterling; a 1934 Charles Resiner version re-scripted by Herman J. Mankiewicz and featuring Spencer Tracy; and finally a 1946 Harry Beaumont version with Red Skelton and Marilyn Maxwell. Scarce in jacket.…
