About This Item
New York: Rinehart, 1955. First Edition. First Edition. Association Copy, INSCRIBED by translator Alice Raphael to playwright George Middleton and his wife, activist and actress Fola La Follette on the half-title page: "For Fola and George / in abiding affection / Ever Alice / Sept. 21. 1955."
Middleton's nephew David's ownership stamp on the front pastedown.
New Jersey-born playwright, director, and producer George Middleton served as president of the Dramatists Guild of America from 1927 to 1929. He is perhaps best remembered today for his instrumental role in creating the Minimum Basic Agreement, a collective bargaining agreement that covers benefits, rights, and protections for Writers Guild of America members. Middleton was also known for his collaborations with Guy Bolton, including the successful 1917 stage comedy "Polly With a Past," basis for the 1920 film adaptation.
The daughter of Senator Robert M. "Fighting Bob" La Follette and women's suffrage leader Belle Case, Flora Dodge "Fola" La Follette was a stage actress, teacher, and writer as well as an activist for the women's suffrage and labor movements. She married Middleton in 1911.
Very Good in wrappers, with moderate wear overall, a few small splashes on the bottom portion of the front wrapper, and a lightly faded spine.
