1940148508Los Angeles: Paramount Pictures 1940. Vintage borderless photograph of Preston Sturges and Muriel Angelus on the set of the 1940 film. Mimeo snipe and "Paramount Photo by G.E. Richardson" stamp on verso. <br/><br/>Sturges had become a very successful Hollywood screenwriter by the late 1930s and with his screenplay for "The Biography of a Bum" wanted so much to direct the film that he offered to do the job for free. With very few exceptions notably Charlie Chaplin the notion of an established studio writer directing a film was nearly unheard of in Hollywood where writers were typically not even allowed on the set. Only the irresistible cheapness of Sturges' offer made it possible for the film to get made. <br/><br/>Over the six year period during which the script remained unproduced the title changed to "The Vagrant" then "Down with McGinty" then finally just prior to production to "The Great McGinty." It was not only a success but won Sturges an Oscar for Best Screenplay. More importantly he was allowed to continue as a writer-director with a magnificent career that included one classic after another including "Sullivan's Travels" "The Lady Eve" "Unfaithfully Yours" "The Palm Beach Story" and "Hail the Conquering Hero."<br/><br/>8 x 10 inches.

17971002815Cambridge: J. Burges Printer to the University 1797. First editions of these historical Shakespeare studies by James Plumptre 1771-1832 a young playwright and fellow at Clare Hall Cambridge later a clergyman. Plumptre argues through an elaborate series of parallels that the character of Gertrude in Hamlet is intended as a critique of Mary Queen of Scots who like Gertrude remarried hastily under a cloud. Plumptre characterizes Hamlet as an effort by Shakespeare to secure the approval of Elizabeth I "to flatter his mistress by adding his drop to the flood of calumny poured out against her rival." The final page of the Appendix advertises Plumptre's first two plays The Coventry Act: A Comedy 1793 and Osway: A Tragedy 1795 as well as a forthcoming two-part drama entitled Mary Queen of Scots which was apparently never published. Bound in a single volume these presentation copies of Observations of Hamlet and its Appendix are both inscribed to literary scholar William Richardson 1743-1814 at the University of Glasgow. Richardson's Philosophical Analysis and Illustration of Some of Shakespeare's Remarkable Characters appeared in 1774 and featured a chapter on Hamlet. These Plumptre essays are uncommon. I have been unable to locate an extant presentation copy of either work and neither title has appeared at auction since 1973. A near-fine pair of presentation copies handsomely bound in period style by Philip Dusel. Two octavo volumes bound in one measuring 8 x 5 inches: 6 44; 2 85 1. Recent full polished calf boards tooled in blind with a floral border spine decoratively tooled in gilt red morocco spine label lettered in gilt. Bound without half-title for Appendix. Inscribed by Plumptre to William Richardson on half-title of Observations and title of Appendix. Publisher's advertisement on final page of Appendix. J. Burges, Printer to the University unknown books
