Beschreibung

(Photoplay Title: The Side Show of Life) Green cloth over boards with title and clown image stamped in light green onto upper board, title stamped in light green onto spine. 12mo (7-3/8 x 5 inches [18.8 x 12.7 cm]), all edges trimmed, pp. 320. "MXMXXI" at bottom of title page and "COPYRIGHT, 1921 BY JOHN LANE COMPANY" on copyright page. Book with corners and spine ends softened, slight age-toning to text, dust soil to top edge and orginal booksellers small tag to bottom of rear pastedown. DJ age-toned, showing light soil and wear with a few short closed tears and chips to spine ends. Illustrated with eight B&W photoplay scenes from the film, notable as most of the later photoplay publications featured only four. "It's important to recognize that the novelizations appearing in the 1912-1930 era often represent films 'lost' for viewing to modern historians and movie lovers. These storylines and photo illustrations comprise a significant portion of the available historical record and offer glimpses to many cultural and social events of this era." Featured by Petaja in "A GALLERY OF RARE PHOTOPLAY DUST COVERS". A very good and complete copy of this early photoplay edition. Ref. Davis - p.8, 211, Petaja - p.30,104,139.
