"Eddie Kearns Charles King sings "The Broadway Melody" and tells some chorus girls that he brought the Mahoney Sisters vaudeville act to New York to perform it with him in the latest revue being produced by Francis Zanfield Eddie Kane. Harriet "Hank" Mahoney Bessie Love and her sister Queenie Mahoney Anita Page are awaiting Eddie's arrival at their apartment. Hank the older sister prides herself on her business sense and talent while Queenie is lauded for her beauty. Hank is confident they will make it big while Queenie is less eager to put everything on the line to become a star. Hank declines the offer of their Uncle Jed Jed Prouty to join a 30-week traveling show but consents to think it over. Eddie who is engaged to Hank arrives and sees Queenie for the first time since she was a girl and is instantly taken with her. He tells them to come to a rehearsal for Zanfield's revue to present their act. A blond woman sabotages their performance by placing a bag in the piano which causes a fight with Hank. Zanfield isn't interested in it but says he might have a use for Queenie who begs him to give Hank a part as well saying both will work for one wage. She also convinces him to pretend that Hank's business skills won him over. Eddie witnesses this exchange and becomes even more enamored of Queenie for her devotion to her sister. During a dress rehearsal for the revue Zanfield says the pacing is too slow for "The Broadway Melody" and cuts Hank and Queenie from the number. Meanwhile another woman is injured after falling off a set prop and Queenie is selected to replace her. Nearly everyone is captivated by Queenie particularly notorious playboy Jacques "Jock" Warriner Kenneth Thomson. While Jock begins to woo Queenie Hank is upset that Queenie is building her success on her looks rather than her talent."--Wikipedia Grosset & Dunlap hardcover books

The Beast of the City 1932 is a gritty pre-Code MGM crime drama about a ruthless police captain Jim Fitzpatrick Walter Huston who wages a violent war on organized crime in Prohibition-era Chicago clashing with mob boss Sam Belmonte Jean Hersholt and his girlfriend Daisy Jean Harlow. The film is known for its brutal violence cynical tone and a famously shocking ending exploring themes of vigilantism and the blurred lines between law and crime and features a young Mickey Rooney in an early role. Its also the film which convinced MGM production chief Irving Thalberg to buy out Harlows contract from Howard Hughes for $30000. In addition to W.R. Burnett penning the screenplay he was also assisted by Ben Hecht uncredited and John Lee Mahim. W.R. Burnett called it "one of the best crime pictures of all. Hersholt was a greasy offensive Capone. Really good." He felt it was well directed although Charles Brabin was English. "Everything about it was wrong. Making an American hoodlum picture giving it to an Englishman. Wed have a story conference and hed go to sleep right in your face McGilligan Patrick; Mate Ken 1986. "W.R. Burnett: The Outsider.</strong></p> Grosset & Dunlap hardcover

193230203New York: Grosset & Dunlap. Good. c.1932. First Edition. Hardcover. lacking the original dust jacket but encased in a professionally-made facsimile reproduction of same; see 2nd image posted with this listing general shelfwear and some deterioration to cloth at base of spine but generally a good sound copy. 4 B&W film stills Novelization of the 1932 film starring Jean Harlow who appears in all four of the stills illustrating the text a gangster tale that was about as down-and-urban-gritty as M-G-M ever got. Warner Bros. was the more natural habitat for this sort of picture. The film represented one of Burnett's earliest Hollywood story credits the actual dialogue being supplied by John Lee Mahin himself no slouch in the hard-boiled department. A terrific feature of this book is an 18-page "Underworld Glossary" with definitions and even occasionally etymological mini-essays for several hundred terms some of them fabulously arcane. Bet you don't know what it means to "Norton-and-Egan" somebody; just hope it never happens to you. NOTE again that this book bears a FACSIMILE dust jacket to serve the dual purpose of protecting the book from further wear and enhancing its appearance on the shelf; its presence has not been factored in to our pricing. .
