1929005218New York: The Longacre Press Inc. 1929. First edition. Hardcover. String ties. Paper pastedown. Fine. Promotional souvenir program for a transitional Griftith film -- shot originally as a silent re-shot with some sound including most notably songs by Irving Berlin. 4to. 31 by 22.5 cm. Unpaginated 18 leaves. This Griffith film was not a success at the box office despite the talent associated with it. The story is one in which the male lead William Boyd is cast aside by his girlfriend and resolves that he could find a more suitable lover off the street which he does when he connects with a singer at a sleazy bar played by Lupe Velez. Boyd a popular Silent Era romantic lead would suffer a setback in the early sound era but resurrect his career and fortune in a series of Westerns in which he played Hopalong Cassidy. "Lady of the Pavements" may have been a disappointment commercially but one would not know that from this souvenir which is an object of real beauty with its textured wallpaper-like pastedown on the front cover its thick glossy leaves and its lavish photos and Art Deco illustrations and decoration. <br/><br/> The Longacre Press, Inc. hardcover books
