Description

Boards with slight rubbing to extremities. Pages uncut and a bit browning. ; The famous blues tune adapted for the stage by the noted director prior to his directing career. Illustrated by Miguel Covarrubias, an acclaimed writer in his own right in addition to being a topnotch artist. While living in Mexico, Huston, not yet embarked on his stellar career as a film director, wrote a play based on the famous ballad 'Frankie and Johnny' and sold it without much trouble. He also sold several magazine articles and stories before finding his destiny in Hollywood. One of the scarcer and more sought after items in the Covarrubias milieu. ; Color Illustrations; 8vo; 160 pages
