Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book captures the transformative experiences of young Jewish men during World War I. The author was a reporter who spent time with the National Army's new recruits as they trained at Camp Upton. The young men came from diverse backgrounds and were initially apprehensive about military life. However, the author observed a remarkable shift in their attitudes as they learned the importance of discipline and camaraderie. The book explores the ways in which the war challenged traditional notions of masculinity and the meaning of patriotism. Through the soldiers' stories, the author also sheds light on the broader social and political changes that were taking place in America during this time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good+. Good dj. First Edition. [sharp-looking copy (see 2nd scanned image, without jacket), with slight bumping to several corners, small tear in cloth at top of spine; the jacket has a handful of tiny edge- and corner-tears (very slight paper loss), some uneven age-toning on the spine and front panel, and a mostly-internal dampstain at the lower corner of the rear panel]. (author portrait frontispiece; B&W plates) Journalistic "human interest" reporting (with a strong patriotic tinge) about the training of American soldiers in preparation for going overseas to lick the Germans in the Great War. The author got into the movies in the early 1920s and spent most of the rest of his life as a successful screenwriter (he died at 52, in 1938), for many years the writing partner of the prolific and once-legendary but now-forgotten Grover Jones. (Jones and McNutt were said to have been the models for the screwball screenwriters in Sam and Bella Spewack's hit 1935 play "Boy Meets Girl.").…

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Fair dj. First Edition. [ex-rental library book ("Boulevard Book Shop" stamped on front pastedown, handwritten circulation slip on rear endpaper), the book itself only moderately worn; the jacket, however, is firmly affixed to the book at both flaps, has been unevenly trimmed by about 1/8"-1/4" along the bottom edge, and has suffered some paper loss to the upper spine extremities and the top right corner of the front panel]. The only published novel by this noted screenwriting team, a legendary (though now largely forgotten) duo who were the epitome of the fast-thinking, seat-of-the-pants story-pitchers of Hollywood lore. (They're acknowledged to have been the models for the leading characters in Samuel and Bella Spewack's 1936 play "Boy Meets Girl," which was filmed by Warner Bros. in 1938.) Jones, the more colorful and voluble of the pair, came to Hollywood from his native Terre Haute, Indiana, in 1915, with the modest amibition of becoming a sign painter for the movies; he worked his way up through the ranks as a gag man, writer and director of short comedies, and eventually became one of the most prolific (and highly-salaried) screenwriters at the Paramount studio. (It was there that he teamed up with the wonderfully-named McNutt.) Jones was also a prolific writer of magazine fiction, and for a couple of years in the late 1930s published his own magazine (called Jones'), which he printed himself on a linotype machine installed at his home in Pacific Palisades. Jones and McNutt did their last work for Paramount in 1935, and I half suspect that this book, an anomaly in their otherwise exclusively-screenwritten joint oeuvre, might well have been an unrealized movie treatment that Jones decided to rework as a novel following McNutt's death in January 1938. It's kind of an epic "of the days when the West was golden and an empire was to be had for the taking," with the central conflict involving two competing larger-than-life figures: the cattle baron "Roarin' Bill" Holliday and the railroad-building mogul Carter Harrington, who wants "to thrust the railroad's metal straight into the heart of Holliday's domain." It's interesting to note a couple of Hollywood happenings concurrent with the publication of this novel: one was the production (at Paramount, ironically) of Cecil B. DeMille's railroad-building epic UNION PACIFIC (which, if my surmise about the origins of this book is correct, may well be the reason that it never got off the ground as a movie, i.e. Hollywood wasn't big enough for more than one railroad-themed film at a time); the other was the fact that about this time, Jones was engaged in crafting the early treatments and drafts of a very different kind of Western yarn, the W.C. Fields-Mae West co-starring venture at Universal, MY LITTLE CHICKADEE. So one way or another, Jones would have had the Old West on his brain for much of 1939. (And sadly, by the end of the following year he too would be dead, at the age of 46.).…

Second Script for the 1933 film. Rubber-stamped on the front wrapper, "FILE COPY / RETURN TO SCRIPT DEPT. / PARAMOUNT STUDIO - HOLLYWOOD," and "1837 / MASTER FILE." The film's original title, "Don't Call Me Madam," is present on the front wrapper, crossed through, with the new title "Tillie and Gus" written in manuscript ink above it. Based on a short story entitled "Don't Call Me Madame," by Rupert Hughes, about Tillie and Gus Winterbottom (Alisone Skipworth and W. C. Fields) and their tribulations involving a deceased family member's inheritance. Even with the ensuing events, including a riverboat race and a baby-toting bathtub that floats downstream reminiscent of Moses in a basket, the film is remembered as one of Fields' "sleepers," one less punchy than others. "Tillie and Gus" was one of three pairings of Skipworth and Fields, the others being "Six of a Kind" (1934) and "If I Had a Million" (1932). Tall, side stapled salmon self wrappers, noted as SECOND SCRIPT on the front wrapper, rubber-stamped copy production No. 1837, dated March 10, 1933, with credits for screenwriters Jones, McNutt, and Harris.
