A Vintage Hardcover Book (measures 5 1/2" x 8 1/4" [14 x 21 cm]; 263 pages) (Learn More) The Night Club Lady, the 1932 Irving Cummings New York detective crime mystery thriller (based on the novel by Fulton Oursler, under the pseudonym "Anthony Abbot") starring Adolphe Menjou (as Thatcher Colt), Mayo Methot (in the title role), Richard 'Skeets' Gallagher, Ruthelma Stevens, and Blanche Frederici. Note that this movie was apparently quite entertaining, and it led to a sequel, "The Circus Queen Murder", which also starred Menjou as Thatcher Colt, and it seemed that this character could have gone onto a successful series like Philo Vance or The Thin Man, but for unknown reasons, the series was abandoned after the two entries. A knowledgeable collector tells us that (unfortunately!) there are no good copies of this film remaining, only "gray-market" versions of poor quality. The sequel does have a restored version which was shown at an event celebrating Columbia's 75th anniversary. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Mach Tey Important Added Info: Note that this is the Grosset & Dunlap photoplay edition of this novel in its original dust jacket. This book has the original dust jacket. Here are 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 republish 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 usually include several pages of images from the movie scattered in the book. These books were incredibly popular in the 1920s and 1930s, and they are quite collectible, especially if they still have the original 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. Because we know that the dust jacket is an important part of the value of this book, we also pictured the entire dust jacket opened up. Between that image and our other images, you should be able to get a good sense of the overall condition of this book. Condition: good. The dust jacket is in a protective sleeve.
