194085641Washington: Associates in Negro Folk Education 1940. 1st ed. Hardcover. Very Good. frontis color numerous black & white illustrations and two pages in color 124 4 125-222p. Recent quarterbinding marbled boards attractively backed in leather. 31 cm. Horizontal crease as usual on frontis. Other internal soiling and wear but generally sound. No jacket. When we got this book the binding was beyond repair. We had the binder preserve and mount a small piece less than the size of a business-card of the original endpaper on which Locke had INSCRIBED this copy to Dorothy Maynor the talented singer and founder of the Harlem School of the Arts. The three panels of the Amistad Murals done on canvas by Hale Woodruff and located in Savery Memorial Library at Talladega College in Talladega Alabama are illustrated in color on the center pages of the unnumbered four page section which is found after page 124. These mural panels were unveiled in 1939 just a year before publication of this book. The unnumbered Amistad Murals section may have been a last minute addition to the book. The section is described on the Contents page as facing page 124. We don't know whether it was present in all copies of the 1940 edition. Associates in Negro Folk Education hardcover
1963146288N.p.: The Landau Company 1963. Draft script for the 1968 film. <br/><br/>As early as 1950 there was talk of adapting Carson McCullers' 1940 debut novel "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" for the screen. In 1963 producer David Susskind took over Jose Quintero's attempt at adapting the novel which began two years earlier with a script from British screenwriter Gavin Lambert. Susskind passed on Lambert's script opting for a script from Thomas C. Ryan.<br/><br/>Susskind planned to shoot the film in New York City with director Sidney Lumet but the project ended up being held up indefinitely. Four years later Marc Merson's Brownstone Productions had taken over the film rights with Thomas C. Ryan's original 1963 script and with Ryan co-producing. During filming Ryan and director Robert Ellis Miller would make extensive re-writes as they went.<br/><br/>One of the great film adaptations of any American novel starring Sondra Locke in her debut film opposite Alan Arkin. Although much of the political aspect of McCullers' novel was removed from the film the themes present in the author's work are readily apparent: race loneliness impoverishment and anger. Arkin and Locke were nominated for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress Oscars. <br/><br/>Set in in a small Southern town shot on location in Selma Alabama.<br/><br/>Red titled vinyl Hart Stenographic Bureau wrappers. Title page present dated 8/26/63 with credits for novelist Carson McCullers and screenwriter Thomas C. Ryan. 130 leaves with last page of text numbered 127.
