A Vintage Hardcover Book (measures 5 1/2" x 8" [14 x 20 cm]; 375 pages) (Learn More) Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall, the 1903 - 1904 R.A. Roberts Broadway stage play production (based on the novel by Charles Major) starring Bertha Galland (in the title role as Dorothy Vernon), William Lewers, Carl Anthony, Mary Bacon, S.K. Blair, and Sheridan Block Important Added Info: Note that in the case of this book, it is not from a MOVIE, but rather from a stage play! Apparently, Grosset & Dunlap started these kind of books soon after the turn of the 20th century, making them from stage plays and then, when movies came along, they started doing them from movies (we did not know that before seeing this book). Note that this is the first Grosset & Dunlap photoplay edition from 1904 (one of a collection of such books we are auctioning in this set of auctions). Here are some more details about these books: Grosset & Dunlap was a publisher that made a deal with all the studios in the 1910s to publish "movie edition" hardcovers of novels that were currently adapted into movies (there were also some by other publishers, but Grosset & Dunlap printed the lion's share of these). They would re-publish the original novel as the movie came out (or soon after), and they would put a dust jacket on the book that showed the stars of the movie, and they would include several pages of images from the movie scattered in the book. These books were incredibly popular in the 1920s and 1930s. The example of this book offered here does not have its dust jacket. Note that we have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Condition: good. One of the end of chapter pages that has a large blank area has some child's scribbling in that area (this page is not pictured). See our multiple images to get a good sense of the condition of this book. Learn More about condition grades
