Seven pages, carbon and typed, many corrections and revisions in pencil. This comprises two versions of a long poem, and a four page humorous stage play. The subject is the opening of a new club in Woodruff (presumably, near Indianapolis). Pages are chipped at edges, the play is on very browned and fragile paper, heavily annotated, edges very chipped but complete. I bought this at the auction of Walter Gibson's estate, in New York State. Gibson, under the name Maxwell Grant, was the author of THE SHADOW. View More...

This looks to be a working script, but its status is unknown. View More...
