Applause, the classic 1929 Rouben Mamoulian romantic musical melodrama (based on the novel by Beth Brown; about a woman who is a burlesque star, and she has a daughter that she doesn't want to be raised around that, so she sends her to a convent, and the movie skips far in the future where the once major star is now down and out, and her grown up daughter returns and is shocked and disgusted by her mother and that sends her into a tailspin, and she ends up working in a burlesque show herself) starring Helen Morgan, Joan Peers, Jack Singer, Henry Wadsworth, and Fuller Mellish Jr. Note that incredibly ironically, star Helen Morgan's real life career ended up paralleling the part she played in this movie!

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: very good. Note that this is one of a collection of 100 "movie edition" hardcover books we were consigned, including many great rarities! Each has its dust jacket is in a protective sleeve. We do not describe the condition of the book in words, but our many photos surely let you get an excellent sense of the exact condition of each book.
