1932130968Hollywood: Paramount Pictures 1932. First Draft script for the 1932 pre-Code film though it is what would later be known as a revised shooting script as it was a rewrite issued during shooting. <br/><br/>AFI Catalog provides some context around the October 20 1932 date on the script revealing a somewhat troubled production that resulted in a fine film: "On 23 Sep 1932 HR announced that the script was being rewritten. According to a HR news item on 4 Oct 1932 Lowell Sherman walked off the set after a pay dispute and was replaced by Wesley Ruggles. Hopkins quit the production in early Nov 1932 claiming the role was not suitable for her. Gable was on loan from M-G-M for this film. Gable and Lombard were married in 1939. This was their only co-starring film."<br/> <br/>Based on the best selling novel "No Bed of Her Own" by Val Lewton. Gable plays a card cheat who has to go on the lam to avoid a pesky cop. While hiding out he meets lonely but somewhat wild librarian Lombard. The two get married after Lombard wins a coin flip and they move back to the city where Gable continues his grifting ways unbeknownst to his new wife. <br/><br/>Salmon self wrappers rubber-stamped copy No. 1278 and MASTER FILE dated October 20 1932 with credits for story writers Goulding and Glazer screenwriter Watkins and continuity writer Anges Brand Leahy.

RISM W 924.<br/><br/>"Given Wesley's fame as a keyboard player it is not surprising that keyboard music should form an important part of his output and the largest category of his music published in his lifetime. Despite a good deal of recent publishing activity however only a small proportion of his keyboard music is available in modern editions. In the organ music Wesley's grand manner is heard at its best in the op.6 voluntaries while a more intimate and miniaturist side to his musical character is apparent in the Twelve Short Pieces."
