192925713New York: Donald Flamm Incorporated. Very Good. c.1929. First Edition. Hardcover. no dust jacket a little wear along the upper front joint small ink spot on rear cover. caricature sketches Brief one-page character sketches of various Broadway personalities each accompanied by a small caricature sketch of the subject. Many but not all of these are by Alex Gard. Among the fifty or so people thus profiled are: George M. Cohan David Belasco Florenz Ziegfeld Earl Carroll Walter Winchell Eugene O'Neill Lee and J.J. Shubert Alice Brady Texas Guinan Mark Hellinger Will Rogers the Marx Brothers "the Mae Wests of Musical Comedy" Mae West "A Marx Brother of the Drama" Beatrice Lillie Al Jolson Eddie Cantor Sylvia Sidney Willie and Eugene Howard W.C. Fields and Paul Whiteman. All the profiles are written rather weirdly as a single string of words with phrases set off by commas in place of periods. The author who soon decamped for Hollywood hired by Irving Thalberg as MGM's story editor explains this in his Foreword: "Although defiant to accepted grammatical rules it is a style that certainly helps fill the wide-open spaces of a page. Rest assured that you are getting your money's worth with every page. In order to understand it you simply have to forget every rule you ever learned about punctuation. Don't wait for a period to drop your voice or you will surely suffocate. After reading one or two aloud to your cronies I guess you should get the knack of it and like it." NOTE that this copy does not include the paste-on drawing by Alex Gard observed on the front covers of other examples. . Donald Flamm, Incorporated hardcover books
