193324959New York/London: D. Appleton and Company. Very Good in Good dj. 1933. First Edition. Hardcover. solid copy minor shelfwear tiny stain on top edge of text block; jacket has shallow chipping along top edge and at base of spine spine heavily soiled front and rear panels a little less so. Light-hearted Booth Tarkingtonesque novel about a teenage Everygirl one Jane Jones who we meet "in the throes of adolescence" and subsequently "struggle through her great crushes and follow her ambitions to become alternately a poet a peeress and an actress." 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 Clements her second husband to whom she was married from 1927 until his death in 1948. 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. This was actually the second novel the duo had written about young Jane and her best pal C following "This Awful Age" published in 1930. A proposed film version of "Mild Oats" was rumored in early 1934 and although it never came to pass the earlier book did finally make it to the screen in 1941 as HER FIRST BEAU but not without having first been repurposed as a stage play called "June Mad." .
