Description

First Edition. 8vo, 156pp. ##### Signed presentation copy from the author to the famous actor/producer Arnold Daly, of one of her most successful plays. Poet/librettist George Turner Phelps has used the covers, pastedowns and end sheets to write a long letter to Daly urging him to produce the play with Dorothy Donnelly, who played opposite Daly in Shaw's Candida. An added note by Peabody on the rear flyleaf approves. Condition: Fair. A clean, tight copy internally; moderate wear to covers, title label on spine rubbed, end papers toned. But who cares -- it's a $15 book enhanced immeasurably by the extras. Peabody was an American poet and dramatist. The Stratford-on-Avon prize went to her in 1909 for her drama The Piper, which was produced in England in 1910; and in America at in 1911. Arnold Daly was an American actor, playwright, and producer. He was noted for introducing the early Shaw plays to American audiences. With the advent of silent film, Daly became a matinee idol. Phelps was a poet and librettist.

CONDITION: We are conservative graders. If we say FINE you can count on it. If there are any minor defects [e.g. minor shelf-wear] they will be noted. VERY GOOD means there is light shelf or surface-wear, possibly some light age-toning, maybe a prior owner's inked name inside -- but no significant defects. GOOD means we wish we had a better copy too, but still in collectable condition. Any significant defects will be noted. FAIR usually means the interior is good or better but the covers are heavily worn. POOR means both the interior and the covers are damaged. Again, significant defects will be noted.
