1929127469New York: Grosset & Dunlap 1929. Octavo cloth. Photoplay edition. Photoplay edition with eight stills from the 1929 film. "7 FOOTPRINTS TO SATAN was released as both a silent film and as a sound film with Vitaphone musical score sound effects and some dialogue sequences. The film received generally negative reviews including from such publications as THE NEW YORK TIMES VARIETY -- which called it 'An utterly moronic sound film . all hokum' -- and the PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER in which Mildred Martin wrote 'after all the screams and creaks and thumps it reaches a somewhat tame conclusion .' Despite this it performed well at the box office. A companion Photoplay edition of the Merritt novel published by Grosset & Dunlap and featuring several stills from the film also sold extremely well. The sound version of the film is presumed lost . and the Vitaphone soundtrack for recording is also lost." - Wikipedia. A 2014 restored copy of the silent version is available on YouTube. A very good copy in an about very good pictorial dust jacket with mild wear to edges and 2-inch long chip at lower edge of rear panel near the spine fold. #127469 Grosset & Dunlap unknown books

1979WRCLIT54944Np 1979. 1124 leaves. Quarto. Mimeographed typescript printed on rectos only. Boltbound into plain stiff wrappers. Scattered and occasionally detailed revisions deletions comments and annotations in an unknown hand in pencil and ink otherwise very good or better. Denoted a "Final Draft" of Abraham Polonsky's adaptation to the screen of Jack-Alain Léger's novel. However many subsequent revised drafts followed and the script for the 1982 film release directed by Frank Perry was credited on screen to Wendell Mayes who wrote at least one early draft in February 1979. In spite of that drafts as late as October 1981 bore only Polonsky's name. This was the last film with which Polonsky was associated as screenwriter though to what degree it was a collaborative effort is unclear. As screenwriter for BODY AND SOUL 1947 and writer/director of FORCE OF EVIL 1948 Polonsky was well on his way toward a distinguished career in film when he was blacklisted and fired by Fox for refusing to cooperate with HUAC. He continued to work during the Blacklist either uncredited or pseudonymously and in 1996 the Writers Guild restored his real name and credits. While the authors of the annotations may not be identifiable at this point the notes/revisions were surely made by someone intimately involved in the process. unknown books

A laudatory speech praising the recent election of Thomas Jefferson to the presidency. The author is mainly concerned even consumed by the separation of church and state which he obviously expects from the Jefferson administration. He writes "Church and State always contaminate each other so far as their union extends. The clerical politician is an useless preacher; the political christian is a dangerous statesman. We feel daily the dreadful effects of this union." He then goes on to praise Republicanism as "the form of government for the support of which you once pledged your lives your fortunes and your sacred honor." A scarce book in the market. SABIN 5595.
