Softcover. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition Thus. [light external soiling and moderate age-toning, small closed tear at bottom of front cover; front endpaper stamped "Return to Story Dept. / Paramount Pictures Inc.," and there is also an old paper clip affixed to the top of the front endpaper which has caused the page to tear at that point so is better left in place]. (B&W photographs) The published script for the hit play (which ran for 642 performances on Broadway between September 1942 and January 1944), adapted by the author of the 1940 novel of the same name, in collaboration with Herschel Williams. The movie version, also called JANIE and released by Warner Bros. in September 1944, was stated to have been based only on the play, with no mention of the original source novel, which has itself become something of a rarity. (As of this writing, there is only a single copy of the novel on offer in the online marketplace -- also by ReadInk. See our separate listing for more speculation about this oddly "lost" novel.) A sequel to the film, JANIE GETS MARRIED, appeared in 1946, with a similarly evasive credit: "based on characters created in the play." (It's also interesting to note -- although I can't say what significance to attach to it, if any -- that this particular copy was once the property of the Story Department at a different movie studio (Paramount) than the one that produced the two films.).

First Edition. Theatrical play and comedy that starred Maurice Manson and Clare Foley in its opening Broadway performance. This copy with Warner Bros.

Near Fine in Good to Very Good dustjacket, front panel with some spotting, light spine end chipping, nickel sized chip at top front panel.

Pictorial endpapers with Art Deco style graphics. Previous owner's name and date written in pencil on title page. This was the author's first novel.

Born in Boston, Bentham ended up in San Francisco, just like her book's protagonist, Christine, who goes West to seek her fortune, and doesn't really find it. One critic describes Bentham's writing as meticulous, saying the characters are well thought out and the plot understandable. Scarce. 304 pp. Size: 5 1/4 x 7 3/4 Inches. Book.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good+. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good+ dj. First Edition. [slight bumping to several corners, tiny stain on bottom of text block, one-time owner's signature on top of front pastedown; jacket is quite nice, with just a bit of wear at the spine ends]. A weirdly "lost" novel about "a real American girl -- her magnificent day-dreams, her jealous boyfriends, her strange enthusiasms, her searing disappointments, her tolerant but puzzled parents." Let me explain the "lost" business. A movie called JANIE was released by Warner Bros. in 1944; it starred Joyce Reynolds, then a 19-year-old ingenue whose career subsequently went nowhere (although, to be fair, she retired from the screen not long after this film, to marry a Marine), Robert Hutton (who at least had a career, albeit in a long string of mostly forgettable movies), and a stellar supporting cast that included Edward Arnold, Ann Harding, Robert Benchley, and Hattie McDaniel. This movie, as every single source in the universe will tell you, was based on a 1942 stage play, also called "Janie," which ran for 16 months (642 performances) on Broadway; the play was written by Josephine Bentham and Herschel Williams. But what goes absolutely unmentioned in most reference sources I've consulted (although it's acknowledged in contemporary reviews of the play) is THIS BOOK, which was obviously the original source for all that came after (including a 1946 film sequel, JANIE GETS MARRIED). The first movie's source is credited as the play only; the second movie was "based on characters created in the play." I've looked at the original Warner Bros. press material for the film -- no mention of the book. I've checked the major references for literary source material for films -- all credit the play only. It's like the original book, for unfathomable reasons, has almost ceased to exist: there are no copies of any description in online commerce as of this writing (January 2020), although I'm relieved (because this was starting to get a little surreal) that there are, at least, eleven copies on the shelves of various U.S. libraries, per OCLC. Was this book banned, suppressed, censored, or otherwise shunned? It was well enough reviewed ("Warm and real and fun reading," said Kirkus Reviews), but its utter lack of an informational afterlife really throws me. Is it possible that what we've got here is the ONLY surviving copy outside the American library system? (Ordinarily I would look severely askance at any such claim made for any book, but this is honestly a case like no other I've ever encountered.).
