Quite scarce collection of poems by a near-unknown poet. Despite the imprint the poems are inspired mostly by nature and Greek mythology rather than socialist politics. We find one contemporary review whose critic rightly strips the work of any literary merit stating that "Much of his work shows no idea of the meaning of words" providing as evidence the following line: "A dreamer fair and bland!"

1933137009Hollywood: Paramount Pictures 1933. Final Script for the 1934 pre-Code film musical "Bolero" directed by Wesley Ruggles written for the screen by Horace Jackson Kubec Glasmon Carey Wilson and Ruth Ridenour and starring George Raft and Carole Lombard. <br/><br/>A stylish Paramount musical that unlike so many others from its time came with a great storyline. George Raft rises from coal mine laborer to be a top dancer in pre-Great War Europe. While weaving his way through romantic entanglements including a fling with Sally Rand who performs her famous fan dance here he secures his own nightclub at which point he meets the real love of his life Carole Lombard after asking her to audition in her underwear in his hotel room. A pre-Code gem that seems almost to have been designed to push the censors buttons simultaneously one of the raciest and moodiest "A" musicals produced by this studio. <br/><br/>Tall self-wrappers as issued stamped FILE COPY and RETURN TO SCRIPT DEPT. / PARAMOUNT PICTURES INC. on the front wrapper rubber-stamped production No. 171 and dated November 8 1933.
