1929135600N.p.: Cliff Leary 1929. Vintage sepia photograph of the world premiere of the landmark 1929 film at the legendary Criterion Theatre in New York. Shot by photographer Cliff Leary with his stamp on the verso as well as a numeric reference number 6434 and the stamp of a Scandanavian press agency Kobenhavnerinden. <br/><br/>A huge hit for Paramount in 1929 a comforting fact for the studio given that it was released just after the Wall Street crash. The great Ernst Lubitsch's first talking film the film debut of Jeanette MacDonald the American debut of Maurice Chevalier. Too "The Love Parade" is considered by many to be the first musical film in which songs were integrated with story and the first to make innovative first use of music with no image at the end of the film. Finally a wonderful example of the kinds of magnificent physical artwork that would routinely go into major premieres at the beginning of the talking era. <br/><br/>8 x 10 inches. In an archival mat. Very Good with faint creasing and light wear at the corners. <br/><br/>Hirschhorn p. 32. Cliff Leary unknown books

A fictional treatment of "the struggle for freedom of Burma under the yoke of British colonialism" during World War II more specifically focusing on the country's fate under Japanese occupation in the run-up to which Burma's intellectuals and young radicals were taken in by Japanese propaganda and chose to "collaborate with their prospective 'liberators' who turn out of course to be even worse oppressors than were the British."

Ink stamp on front paste-down endpaper and on rear free endpaper ink note on front free endpaper. 427 pp. 8vo. Green cloth with blind-stamped floral design gilt titles top edge gilt. "In an exuberantly poetic work that is less about bees and more about life Maurice Maeterlinck expresses his philosophy of the human condition. The renowned Belgian poet and dramatist offers brilliant proof in this his most popular work that "no living creature not even man has achieved in the center of his sphere what the bee has achieved." From their amazingly intricate feats of architecture to their intrinsic sense of self-sacrifice Maeterlinck takes a "bee's-eye view" of the most orderly society on Earth. An enthusiastic and expert beekeeper Maeterlinck did not intend to write a scientific treatise even though he details such topics as the mathematically accurate construction of the hive the division of labor among community members the life of the young queen and her miraculous nuptial flight and the movement and meaning of the swarm. An enchanting classic by one of the most important figures of world literature in the twentieth century and winner of the 1911 Nobel Prize in Literature this fascinating study is a magnificent tribute to one of the most orderly communities in the world. It is also filled with humble lessons for the human race. Dodd, Mead and Company hardcover books

Detmold plate opposite p. 44 creased else a fine copy protected by the worn but scarce original publisher's box.<br /><br />The gilt cover of this has often been reproduced as an example of Detmold's design work and it has been superbly preserved here inside this box. The delicately colored watercolors done for these plates were some of Detmold's finest work. The flowers here play as important a part in the illustrations as the various species of bees pollinating them. Unusual in this condition particularly with the original box very rarely seen.

1928159146New York: Dodd 1928. Octavo pp. 1-6 1-2 3-194 title page printed in green and black original green cloth stamped in gold and blind. First U.S. edition. Maurice Polydore Marie Bernard Maeterlinck 1862-1949 "was a Belgian playwright poet and essayist . He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911 'in appreciation of his many-sided literary activities and especially of his dramatic works which are distinguished by a wealth of imagination and by a poetic fancy which reveals sometimes in the guise of a fairy tale a deep inspiration while in a mysterious way they appeal to the readers' own feelings and stimulate their imaginations.' The main themes in his work are death and the meaning of life. His plays form an important part of the Symbolist movement." In this nonfiction metaphysical work Maeterlinck advances his theory that beings whose excess dimensions render them invisible to us come from hyper-space to mingle in our atmosphere and exert an occult influence on our life and death. A fine copy in very good pictorial dust jacket priced $2.50 on the front flap with closed tears and shallow chipping along top and bottom edges. #159146 Dodd unknown books
