Hardcover. Condizione: Fair. Publisher's black cloth. The stamped lettering on the spine has faded. Worn at extremities. Binding shaken. Ex-rental library with rubber stamps on endpapers (but no other library marks) and otherwise internally clean. 197 pages. Scarce. A scarce title by Melvin P. Levy (1902-1980), novelist, writer, and Hollywood screenwriter, known for his radical politics. The son of Russian immigrants, he received his masters degree in English from the University of Washington in 1924. His first novel, Matrix, was published by Thomas Seltzer in 1925 and was characterized by a critique of middle class conventions, social mechanization, and the restraints placed on youth. He relocated to New York and in 1926 presented a lecture at the Bronx Free Fellowship entitled ''Capitalism and the Artist.'' In September 1927, his New York office was attacked and 400 copies of Wedding were either damaged or destroyed (likely why this is such a rare copy). The attack was presumed to have been inspired by the charge that his book ''profaned Jesus.'' In 1931, he was indicted alongside Theodore Dreiser and John Dos Passos for criminal syndicalism while investigating the working conditions of coal miners in Kentucky. After publishing four novels and a play, he went to work in Hollywood as a screenwriter. As revealed in his 1952, McCarthy-era interview before the House Un-American Activities Committee, he had been a member of the Communist Party in 1933 and in 1944 became affiliated with the Communist Political Association. By 1952 he had written many movie screenplays, including Hitler's Madman (1943), which starred John Carradine as Reinhard Heydrich. Levy was also the author of the novels Lafayette Carter and The Last Pioneer as well as the play Gold Eagle Guy. At one point, he worked on a biography of the labor leader Thomas Mooney, at the request of publisher Harcourt, but the project was never completed.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good dj. First Edition. [moderate wear to extremities, very slight fraying to lower corners, some discoloration to endpapers, vintage bookseller's label at bottom corner of front pastedown (Franklin Bookshop, Baltimore), small tears/dents in fore-edges of the first few pages; the jacket is edgeworn, with a 2" wide chip at the bottom of the front panel, a couple of other tiny chips and various other small nicks and tears]. The Group Theatre's previous production, "Men in White," had won the Pulitzer Prize; this play was less well received, running for just 65 performances between November 1934 and January 1935. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper: "To ______ with / affection + / nostalgia / Melvin Levy / 12/17/72." This play, set on the San Francisco waterfront between 1860 and 1906, is about "Guy Button, who begins life as a roistering sailor, and fights his way ruthlessly to fortune and power." It was the 1935 offering in New York of The Group Theatre, with J. Edward Bromberg in the leading role; the opening-night cast also included Roman Bohnen, Clifford Odets, Morris Carnovsky, Sanford Meisner, Luther Adler, Art Smith, Elia Kazan, Jules (later John) Garfield, Russell Collins, and Paula Miller (later Paula Strasberg). (Although not noted anywhere in this book, the production's director was Lee Strasberg.) The final scene takes place during the San Francisco Earthquake. Signed by Author.
