New York: Grosset & Dunlap. Near Fine in Very Good dj. [1928] (c.1927). First Edition Thus. Hardcover. [nice copy with minimal wear, one-time owner's name and address in ink on front endpaper; the jacket is moderately edgeworn, with small tears and minor paper loss at several corners, one-inch closed tear at bottom front hinge]. (8 sepia-toned film stills) A tie-in with the 1929 Paramount film adaptation of the popular ethnic-conflict domestic comedy, which ran for over five years (1922-1927) in its initial Broadway run. This movie, the first of two screen adaptations, starred Charles "Buddy" Rogers as American-Jewish soldier Abie Levy, who, while serving in Europe during the War, meets lovely Irish colleen Rose-Mary Murphy (Nancy Carroll), brings her back to the States, and marries her, and everybody else in both families just has to DEAL WITH IT! Oy! "Why, look at her name, kid -- look at her name! She's Irish, y' fool, she's Irish!" There were two more Broadway revivals (1937 and 1954), and a radio version in the 1940s, before this somewhat creaky property was finally laid to rest -- although the "culturally-mismatched couple" trope has never really gone away. .
