194117927New York: Ives Washburn Inc. Near Fine in Very Good- dj. c.1941. First Edition. Hardcover. price-clipped light shelfwear very slight bumping at a couple of corners; jacket moderately worn at edges and extremities and the bottom one-third of the spine has gotten scrunched with resulting wrinkling and chipping at base of spine. B&W photo frontispiece "The leading woman penologist of our country presents the absorbing story of her life among the women who have failed society and themselves." Ms. Monahan the stern yet somehow motherly type to judge from her frontispiece portrait photo had headed up a number of penal institutions including the California State Prison for Women at Tehachapi. At the time of writing she was Superintendent of the Shakopee Minnesota State Women's Reformatory which transitioned to a new facility in 1986 but is still in operation as the state's only women's prison. She dedicates her book "to the hundreds of women prisoners I have known who are now good citizens." The Foreword is by Lewis E. Lawes ex-warden of Sing Sing who was well-known for his own chronicles of penal life "Twenty Thousand Years in Sing Sing" et al. Homosexuality among women prisoners is discussed in Chapter XVI "The Sex Problem." Very scarce especially in the jacket. . Ives Washburn, Inc. hardcover books

Very scarce T.L.S "Florence Ryerson Clements" 4to. 1 page Los Angeles October 15th 1948 to her literary agent concerning the licensing of her plays in small part: "We have an offer of $500 for the Bedfellows and I was at first inclined to refuse.

They have I understand some scheme in mind for having a thirty-day limit on the broadcast and then getting the film. I suppose. to show to theatre managers ahead of the road show." Boldly signed and in excellent condition. From the archive and papers of Samuel French & Son's.<br/><br/> RYERSON Florence 1892 - 2013 1965 American playwright best remembered as the co-author of the screenplay for the 1939 classic film The Wizard of Oz. Her contributions were numerous including the creation of the multi-roles of actor Frank Morgan who played the Wizard and Ryerson's invented character Mr. Marvel. She also focused the story almost entirely on Dorothy's desire to return home and the Wicked Witch's desire to possess the Ruby Red Slippers. It was her script that introduced the blatant "There's No Place like Home" motif to the film: In order to return to Kansas Dorothy must click the Ruby Red Slippers together and say three times; "There's No Place Like Home". It was also her idea that Dorothy first melted the Wicked Witch by accident because the witch was attempting to set fire to the Scarecrow an idea that preserved Dorothy's purity of motive.<br/><br/> unknown books
