Price: $200.00
Hardcover. First edition. A little light sunning to the spine, else near fine, lacking the dustwrapper. A play adapted in rhyme from Moliere's comedy *L'Ecole des Maris*. On the front pastedown is the bookplate of husband and wife Garson Kanin and Ruth Gordon, below that the separate embossed bookplate of Kanin. Individually Kanin and Gordon had several successes on both stage and screen (he wrote *Born Yesterday* and directed several features, she made her film debut in 1915 and worked primarily in the theatre, but late in life had memorable film roles in *Rosemary's Baby* and *Harold and Maude*). Together, they collaborated on *The Marrying Kind*, as well as *Adam's Rib* and several other screenplays for Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, whose screen relationship was modeled on their marriage.
