Charles Scribner's Sons, NY, 1923. Dark gray boards, black letters. Spine bumped & chipped, head & foot; spine & corners frayed/worn. Previous owner's signature, in light pencil, top of front free fly. Various marking/under-lining (in pink ink) by one of the play's performers, for stage directions throughout. Both end-papers have darkened with age. Still tightly bound - both hinges are sound. 115 pages.
By the author of "The Forsyte Saga". Basis for two films including the 1931 Alfred Hitchcock film, written by Hitchcock and his wife Alma Reville. Both versions starred Edmund Gwenn (in his first talkie, reprising his role from a 1920 silent version) as a rich factory owner, at odds with an aristocratic family.
