193520818London: Victor Gollancz Ltd. Near Fine in Very Good dj. 1935. First Edition. Hardcover. NOISBN . minimal wear to book; jacket a bit soiled but otherwise unworn. Translation and adaptation of a German play a drawing-room comedy about some French aristocrats. Presented in London at the Ambassadors Theatre in 1935 it was notable as the first big success of Vivien Leigh who appeared in the role of Henriette Duquesnoy garnering excellent notices and much subsequent press attention. The latter was doubtlessly tied in with the promotional efforts of film producer Alexander Korda who signed her to a contract after seeing her performance on opening night having failed to discern her potential at an earlier meeting. Reportedly and even more fatefully it was in this play that she was first seen by Laurence Olivier later to become her lover and then husband. . Victor Gollancz Ltd hardcover books
