Battle of Angels

Murray, Utah: Pharos Numbers 1 & 2, 1945.

Price: $3,500.00

Softcover. First edition. About fine with typical wear to yapped edges in bright wrappers. The author's first separately published work, a play. Inscribed by Williams to Tony award-winning actress, Marian Seldes: "with love to you and a salute to Tallulah, Tennessee Williams 1972." Seldes appeared in the ill-fated 1964 production of *The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore* with Tallulah Bankhead. Bankhead, in what became her last stage appearance, struggled along with the help of Seldes despite health issues which took her life four years later. The book is laid into a folding stiff paper photo frame featuring a 5" x 7" print of Seldes and Williams. A wonderful association between two Broadway legends.
