192420137New York: E.P. Dutton & Company. Very Good. c.1924. First American Edition. Hardcover. no dust jacket light wear to extremities and a bit along hinges gilt spine lettering a bit dulled but still fully readable one-time owner's name at top of ffep light staining to rear free endpaper. B&W photographs An early attempt to formulate an aesthetic of the cinema not on a purely theoretical basis but also grounded in the realities of film production and economics: the author as a scenarist himself was well aware that this still-nascent art form operated as a unique fusion of art and business and that "the task of the film artist is always.to effect a happy union between the two." He makes plenty of observations that wouldn't sound at all odd coming from the lips of someone like Samuel Goldwyn or Darryl Zanuck e.g.: "A work let it be ever so artistic and valuable in itself which brings economic distress to the film company that produces it harms indirectly the entire film business as an art." Writing from within the midst of the glory days of the German silent cinema many of his examples are naturally drawn from films still regarded as classics today -- THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI DIE NIEBELUNGEN DR. MABUSE DESTINY -- and the 22 photographic plates all present are drawn from those films as well. One wonders what a close reading of this book which I have not performed might bring out since Bloem reportedly welcomed Hitler's rise to power in 1933 and indeed went on to become a member of the Waffen-SS during World War II. I'll let you work on that one. . E.P. Dutton & Company hardcover books

193325760New York: Henry Holt and Company. Near Fine in Very Good dj. c.1933. First American Edition. Hardcover. a nearly flawless book but for some foxing/spotting on the top edge of the text block; jacket is lightly edgeworn with some tiny nicks at a few corners minimal paper loss and one itty-bitty closed tear at the bottom of the front panel. A mid-career novel by this German Expressionist writer originally published in Germany in 1927 under the title "Das Ochsenfurter Männerquartett" about "five unemployed men with a desperate and fantastic scheme for earning a living." This involves forming a singing group! 1933 the year this book appeared in translation in America was not a good one for the author: he fell afoul of the Nazis who banned and burned his books; he fled the country and after moving around Europe a bit ended up in the U.S. in 1940 where he remained for the next ten years before returning to Munich. Appropriately while in America he picked up a nice bit of movie money when M-G-M filmed his most famous novel "Karl und Anna" in 1947 under the title DESIRE ME. "The Singers" later served as the basis for two German TV films made a year apart -- one in West Germany 1978 the other in East Germany 1979 the former directed by Michael Verhoeven. .
