New York: Samuel French, (1949).
Price: $225.00
Softcover. Revised edition. Rebound without wrappers in buckram and cloth (possibly a presentation issue, as we have seen it so bound before, and both times they were inscribed by Kelly). Modest stain on the front board. Inscribed by the playwright: "To Darrell from George Kelly. Phila., Oct. 1949." A play about the ultimate domineering wife, winner of the 1926 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Basis for three films in 1928, 1936, and 1950; with Irene Rich, Rosalind Russell, and Joan Crawford each assaying the title role. The 1936 version with Russell is particularly notable and was the actress's first major success. Several of Kelly's other plays were also filmed, and he was the uncle of screen legend Grace Kelly.
