Title: MULE BONE (1991) Theatre window card poster
Author: James McMullen
Seller: Walterfilm, Inc. (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: No binding. Fine. Fine Art Print Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston (playwrights) New York: Lincoln Center Theater, 1991. Vintage original 22 x 14" (56 x 36 cm) theatre poster, USA. Archivally mounted on artboard, fine. Artwork by James McMullen. Due to an acrimonious falling out between Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston, it took six decades for this play about African American life in 1920s rural Florida to finally get its world premiere. "Mule Bone: A Comedy of Negro Life is a 1930 play by American authors Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston. The process of writing the play led Hughes and Hurston, who had been close friends, to sever their relationship. Mule Bone was not staged until 1991, when it was produced in New York City by the Lincoln Center Theater. Hughes and Hurston began writing Mule Bone in March 1930. They wanted to write a comedy about African-American life that didn't consist of racial stereotypes. They decided to base the plot on a folktale which Hurston had collected in Florida during one of her anthropological field trips. The two writers dictated their work to Louise Thompson, who typed it. Their work was almost complete in June, when Hurston went away for the summer. She took her notes and said she would return in the fall, and they could finish the play. When Hurston came back, she would not return telephone calls from Hughes. She felt he wanted Thompson to be considered a third collaborator in the project, a proposal to which she strongly objected. Concurrently, Hughes was in the process of severing his relationship with their common literary patron, Charlotte Osgood Mason (Mrs. Rufus Osgood Mason). Reviewers have conjectured that Hurston may have been trying to protect her own relationship with Mason by shunning Hughes. Hurston submitted Mule Bone for copyright in October 1930, listing herself as the only author. In January 1931, Hughes learned that a copy of Mule Bone, bearing only Hurston's name, had been sent to the Gilpin Players, an all-black theater company in Cleveland, for their consideration. Hurston told Hughes that she had not sent them the play, which was true, but Hughes was furious. Hurston had sent Mule Bone to Carl Van Vechten, who sent it on to the Gilpin Players without her knowledge. Hughes sent a copy to apply for copyright under both their names. In the meantime, the Gilpin Players wanted to stage the play. The work was still somewhat rough, but Hughes was in Cleveland, and he offered to help rewrite portions of the play. Hurston sent a telegram advising that she refused to allow the production. A day later, she sent another telegram authorizing the production on the condition that she be allowed to work with Hughes on changes. That same day, Hughes received a letter from Hurston saying that no part of the play had been written by him. In light of all the off-stage drama, the Gilpin Players decided not to proceed with their production." (Wikipedia)

Title: Vitamins: What They Are and How They Can Benefit You [*SIGNED*]
Author: Borsook, Henry
Seller: ReadInk (United States)
Condition: Very Good-
Description: New York: The Viking Press. Very Good-. 1940. First Edition. Hardcover. (with several torn pieces of the original dust jacket laid in) [a good sound copy, with only light wear to extremities and slight fading along the spine, BUT there is a good deal of pencil underlining throughout the text (see Notes)]. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper: "To my good friend / Charly King / from / Henry Borsook." The author, a professor of biochemistry at Caltech from 1929 until 1968, did significant work in both protein synthesis and, as an extension, of the role of proteins (and vitamins) in human nutrition. The present volume has been described as "among the first to present contemporary nutritional ideas to the layman, [showing that a good diet consists not of 'food' but of certain amounts of specific nutrients -- proteins, vitamins, calories, and the like." The inscribee and original owner of this copy, Charles King, was a Pasadena-based newspaperman, author and sometime playwright; the extensive pencil underlining throughout the text can be attributed to the fact that King was using the book as research for a book he intended to write (but never finished) on a related topic. (NOTE that the pieces of the dust jacket included here (all quite tattered) are: the rear panel, both flaps, about 1/2 of the spine and about 1/4 of the badly-torn front panel. The jacket is useful for information (including a long rear-panel blurb) but hardly a candidate for restoration -- although, if you're desperate for the book to have some kind of protective wrap-around, I will, upon request, do my best to assemble and arrange the pieces inside a paper-lined archival book jacket cover in such a way as to partially "reconstruct" it so that it will cover the book.)
