One of the woodcuts on colored stock has been separated at inner margin but is still present. Edges of boards a bit shelf-worn A novel about black entertainers in the South. An outspoken proponent for the positive treatment of black performers, Muse (1889-1979) fought demeaning stereotypes for most his career. Ironically, he was a staunch supporter of the controversial black-oriented TV series The Amos 'n Andy Show (1951). He insisted that, despite the standard caricatures of the title players, the series allowed black actors to portray white-collar roles such as doctors, bankers, judges, and professors, generally not done in white-oriented series. Clarence Muse was one of the first African American actors to star in a major motion picture. He appeared in more than 150 movies and wrote the script to the musical film adaptation of Way Down South with Langston Hughes. Signed.

Muse, an African American actor and entertainer, wrote this book with David Arlen about whom we know little. This book is a fictional account about an African American vaudeville troupe. [James] Blanding Sloan was a white American artist, filmmaker and puppeteer -- some of his work was strongly anti-war and anti-nuclear.As to Eddie Sutherland, he was an American film actor (1916-1924) and director (50 or more films between 1925 and 1956 including "One Night in the Tropics," the first Abbott & Costello film). Sutherland appears to have signed the first interior page. We don't know if Muse appeared, credited or uncredited, in any films directed by Sutherland. Blanding Sloan (illustrator). Signed.

During his prolific career he acted in well over 100 movies. Way Down South, a loosely structured narrative centering on the black vaudeville circuit of the early 20th century and written by Muse with his publicist David Arlen, has the same name as the 1939 movie that Muse wrote the screenplay for with Langston Hughes, but it shares little else with the movie, which is set in antebellum Louisiana.

This memorable association copy contains the distinctive bookplate of Oscar-winning film director George Cukor, famed for films such as Philadelphia Story (1940), A Star is Born (1954) and My Fair Lady (1964). Cukor, a well-known bibliophile and art collector, commissioned artist Paul Landacre to create this image for his bookplate, which shows the director's beautiful Beverly Hills home.Interior fine, mild wear and toning to boards. Signed.
