Bucquet brain surgery medical doctor hospital melodrama ("His new adventures! Best of all!"; "Danger! Doctors beware!"; one of the very popular series of movies featuring this character and his crusty old mentor, Dr. Gillespie; this was a very odd entry in the series, dealing with a brain operation on a mental patient; MGM was likely worried about how that would go over with audiences, and they used very deceptive advertising of art of a sexy redhead with "DANGER! DOCTORS BEWARE!" next to her, even though the only sexy female in the movie was Laraine Day, Kildare's longtime nurse) starring Lew Ayres (in the title role as Doctor James Kildare), Lionel Barrymore (as Dr. Gillespie), Laraine Day, Shepperd Strudwick, Samuel S. Hinds, Emma Dunn, and Nat Pendleton NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is the Hodder & Stoughton Ltd. photoplay edition in its original dust jacket (one of a collection of such books we are auctioning in this set of auctions). Here are some more details about these books: Hodder & Stoughton (like Grosset & Dunlap) was a publisher that made a deal with some studios to publish "movie edition" hardcovers of novels that were currently adapted into movies. 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 include several pages of images from the movie scattered in the book. These books were incredibly popular in the 1920s and 1930s. 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 to very good. The dust jacket is in a protective sleeve.
