Between the Covers

Softcover. Quarto. Stapled mimeographed leaves printed rectos only. 43pp. Some foxing and moderate wear on the first leaf, which is detached, near very good, with many corrections to the text in pencil by Homer Fickett, a consultant and director for the radio series. A play from a long-running radio (and later television) program sponsored by The Du Pont Company that ran from 1938 to 1953, and then (briefly simultaneously) as a television program, consisting mostly of inspirational stories of historical events and figures meant to boast the image of the company. This particular play deals with the development of the Statler Hotel empire. The radio play was directed by John Zoller and featured actor John Lund. Although substantially similar, this script differs in many details from the final recorded version. Tallman wrote for several television series, and co-wrote the screenplay for the film *Slightly Honorable*. *OCLC* locates no copies of this script.
