New York: Random House, (1953).

Price: $275.00

Hardcover. First edition. Fine in fine dustwrapper with just the slightest of tanning to the spine. Nicely Inscribed by the authors: "For Cedric Adams Who we heard over the air and enjoyed and whose column we occasionally get to read when the Minne. Star advertises – From Two Authors to Another, Sam & Bella Spewack. Feb. 12, 1954." The inscription appears to be all in the hand of Bella, with the words "Sam &" the only exception. Adams was one of the best known radio broadcasters in the upper Midwest, headquartered in Minneapolis/St. Paul. While writing his daily newspaper column and doing twenty radio shows each week, Adams did newscasts for WCCO TV Minneapolis/Saint Paul, appeared on television substituting for his friend Arthur Godfrey as host of *Talent Scouts*, and appeared live from his home on Edward R. Murrow's *Person to Person*. The play, directed by José Ferrer, ran for 344 performances on Broadway with a cast featuring Walter Slezak and Henry Daniell. The play was the basis for the 1989 Neil Jordan film *We're No Angels* with Robert De Niro and Sean Penn as escaped convicts mistaken for priests.
