Near fine in a very good price-clipped dust jacket. Jacket design by George F. Kelley. A unique example. The Story of Dr. Wassell by James Hilton is a biographical narrative that recounts the remarkable wartime service of Dr. Corydon M. Wassell a U.S. Navy physician who risked his life to save wounded American sailors during the Japanese invasion of Java in World War II. Hilton presents Wassell as a figure of moral courage and quiet heroism whose actions—defying evacuation orders to ensure the safety of his patients—earned him the Navy Cross and widespread national recognition. The story’s compelling themes of sacrifice and duty were further popularized by Cecil B. DeMille’s 1944 film adaptation starring Gary Cooper which brought Wassell’s exploits to an even broader audience and reinforced his legacy as a symbol of American wartime valor.

They are intended as basic ideas only and can be altered by the Board or discarded altogether.’ He is ‘down with a sharp attack of bronchitis’ and is ‘Not by any means out of the wood yet’. He believes the ‘lack of new recruits’ is because ‘they do not think the Pensino good enough. People today think in very different terms of money to those we knew. And that I fear is our great problem.’ One draft begins: ‘You Belong to the / Most Precarious Profession in the World / You Cannot Do Anything about that / BUT / You Can Provide for Yourself and / Face the Future. last word deleted and replaced in MP’s autograph with ‘Years to Come’ / That is the reason for / The Royal General Theatrical Fund / It is the Profession’s Own Way of / Safeguarding the Future / Get into touch with the Secretary at / 11 Garrick Street.

590 p. + Portrait plates + Added chromolithographed title page. Thick 8vo. 22 cm. Original deeply embossed cloth binding, somewhat worn at extremities. Some foxing and age stain. Private library labels. Olive Logan was the daughter of a famous actor, dramatist, and theater manager who was most active in Ohio and the mid-West. She was a child actress who went on to a long stage career. She suppleme nted her income by working as a journalist, and later as a lecturer. Some of her accounts of the stage were sensational. As she unfolds her memoirs she gives a great many little details about the art of stage craft and the state of the American theater in the latter half of the 19th century. Much of this is accomplished by her portrayals of the great stage personalities of the age. She also tries to redeem the actors' profession from the still wide-held belief that it was immoral and dishonorable. "If (my work) strips off some of the 'gauze and vanity' from the 'show world' I hope it a l so e xhibits that world in a fairer and juster light to many who have hitherto looked on it with ungenerous and unenlightened eyes" -- From the Preface.
