195124947New York/Hollywood: Samuel French. Near Fine in Very Good dj. c.1951. First Edition. Hardcover. nice tight clean book minimal shelfwear only; jacket a little age-toned at edges and spine but still quite good-looking. B&W photographs Two veteran screenwriters both of whom earned their chops during the silent-film days teamed up for this "up-to-the-minute laughter-provoking comedy" about a young secretary for a United Nations commission who "returns to her small-town home with a just-born baby and a not-too-convincing story of how she happens to have him on her hands." Many farcical complications ensue. Ms. Ryerson 1892-1965 came to the movies in the mid-1920s after having already established herself as a journalist and writer of short fiction; she often wrote in collaboration with her second husband Colin Clements who she married in 1927. They co-authored numerous plays including three that made it to Broadway in the 1940s and several mystery novels and Ryerson herself had quite a decent string of movie credits including as one of the three credited screenwriters on THE WIZARD OF OZ. Ms. Miller 1894-1985 was most active as a scenarist during the 1920s with just a handful of credits after that. "Little Scandal" had its debut and perhaps its biggest success at the Pasadena Playhouse in December 1950; the two count 'em photos that illustrate the book are presumably from that production which had absolutely nobody in it you've ever heard of with the possible exception of Madge Blake a character actress who popped up all over the place on American TV in the 1950s and 1960s. .

An ad in the back of the book characterizes it thusly: "Woman the eternal huntress in her search for the father of those children which shall be her gift to posterity is the theme of this striking first novel by a young American. It would be difficult to name another novel of recent years that treats of the sex problems of the younger generation as frankly and as withal as cleanly and vividly." One contemporary reviewer called it "one of the most unconsciously funny books which these weary eyes have ever contemplated." . Alfred A. Knopf hardcover books
