Description

London: John Lane The Bodley Head, 1924. Hardcover. Very Good. First edition. Endpapers tanned and some soiling to the boards, a sound, very good copy lacking the dustwrapper. A notable volume of film criticism. Inscribed by the author: "I wrote these essays to turn an income of four pounds a week ('Saturday Review') into seven pounds a week – honest pot-boiling! James Agate. Jan. 2. 48." From the library of Thomas Quinn Curtiss, and although he is not named in the inscription, almost certainly inscribed to him. Curtiss, who studied with Sergei Eisenstein, was a film critic, biographer of Erich Von Stroheim, screenwriter, and companion of Klaus Mann. During WWII he was awarded the Legion of Honor by Charles DeGaulle for saving the Luftwaffe's secret film library. A scarce title, especially inscribed.
