Description
N.p.: N.p., 1950. Ribbon copy typed manuscript for an unproduced play, with essays on the history of the project, the production, casting, and set/costume design written by June Shannon, a drama student at the Carnegie Institute of Technology. With extensive manuscript annotations in ink and pencil on virtually every page, and 15 hand painted watercolor sketches of set and costume designs. Based on the 1775 play by Richard Sheridan. A comedy of manners set in 18th century Bath, where three suitors quarrel over the love of one woman. In this hypothetical casting, Tony-winning Broadway actor Jose Ferrer assumed the role of Bob Acres, a buffoonish country suitor to young Lydia, played by Laura Hope-Crews. The character of Mrs. Malaprop, who throughout the play uses words incorrectly, helped coin the term malapropism. Set in France. Black untitled wrappers. 166 leaves, with last page of text numbered 139. Typescript, rectos only. Pages Very Good plus, wrapper Very Good plus, in a spring binder.

Description
New York: Story Magazine, Inc.. Very Good. 1934. (Vol. IV; whole No. 18). Magazine. [a good sound copy, modest external wear and light soiling to covers; binding fully intact] Contains the following stories: "Actual Riot Scenes" (H.M. LeTissier); "Accommodation Ladder" (Hedy Verena Gossman); "A Boxer: Old" (Harry Sylvester); "Love Comes Softly" (Robert Henderson); "The Deacon" (Emmett Gowen); "The Escape" (Jean Temple); "Nazi Nights' Entertainment" (Lawrence Gilbert and Charles E. Hewitt, Jr.); "First Night, Last Night" (Eleanor Saltzman); "A Simple Peasant" (Bunin). The magazine's "Notes" section includes quite a bit of information about Bunin, who had just been awarded the 1933 Nobel Prize for Literature. (Quite interesting is the "Nazi Nights' Entertainment" story. Written in a kind of faux-Ring Lardner/Damon Runyon idiom, its American narrator tells about running into a Brown Shirt acquaintance in Berlin one night and accompanying him to a beer-hall gathering of similiar types, where there ensues (amidst the general revelry) a discussion about various topics related to the "New Germany," including the concentration camps, "where the Brownies put away all the Reds and the Jews and their business rivals and all the other mugs they don't want to have around." For a little context, Hitler and the Nazis had only been in power for one year at the time.) .
