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." .

19150019491915-6. Very Good. Seventeen decorated leaves with intricate hand-colored border illustrations on all of them. Included are a title page a table of contents twelve leaves with a mixture of verse and prose apercus by Cowper Marcus Aurelius Maeterlinck Chesterton Jefferies and a few lesser known writers then three leaves with borders but blanks within. These borders stand out for their variety and the panache of their execution. While a few may owe a debt to work done before such as that by Beardsley or Parrish Ms. Harper also seems to anticipate high Art Deco style and even later aesthetics than that. Ms. Harper mixes cleverly the geometric the abstract the figurative the natural. The pleasure to be derived from these borders is that from miniatures -- splashy color plates these are not! Further there is nothing corny sentimental or pedestrian about the illustrations which usher us into the little worlds of Ms. Harper's imagination. The text is also hand-written and while not calligraphic it is uniform neat and attractive. <br /><br /> books

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. .
