193114365New York: The Archer Press Corporation. Good in Good dj. c.1931. Triangle Monthly Books. Hardcover. decent copy of a cheaply-manufactured book spine turned and book slightly twisted on its axis light soiling to top edge browning to pages not brittle one-time owner's signature and date in blue ink at top of title page; jacket has one tiny chip at upper right-hand corner of front panel short tear at bottom of rear panel dampstaining to rear panel along spine. "Gertrude was young only seventeen and beautiful -- a very dangerous combination when mixed with inexperience in the business world. Jerrold Scott of Scott & Son was wealthy. He was also a lover of beauty -- especially in young women and none too scrupulous. Gertrude was desperate for a job and Jerrold Scott was kind." Uh-oh. Lait's original play of that name had a Broadway run in 1914 was filmed in 1915 and was novelized by a writer named Webster Denison in 1916; whether this particular edition is a reprint of the 1916 book or an entirely new novelization is unknown at least to me. And in any case it still doesn't explain why actress Marion Nixon is pictured on the dust jacket; if y'all figure it out let me know. . The Archer Press Corporation hardcover books

"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
