Hardcover. First edition. Paper spine label toned, very good or better lacking dustwrapper. Basis for the James Cruze silent film *We're All Gamblers*, about a prize-fighter who falls for a society girl (a story that soon came to pass when Heavyweight Champion Gene Tunney married socialite Polly Lauder in 1928). This copy stamped on both boards and several endpapers with "Property of Research Dept. Famous Players Lasky Corp. Long Island City, N.Y.", the company that produced the film. It was the first of many films based on Howard's work – he continued to be successful both as a playwright (winning a Pulitzer Prize) and a screenwriter, winning a posthumous Academy Award for *Gone With the Wind* after his tragic death in 1939.
