The Sea Hawk, the 1924 Frank Lloyd silent swashbuckling seafaring pirate romantic adventure melodrama ("The Love story of a mighty Pirate Chieftain of the Seas"; "The most amazing spectacle of romance and adventure of all time. Here is vivid drama that lifts you out of the ordinary to something you've never seen on the screen before. Galley ships, galley slaves, fighting corsairs, dainty damsels, harem slaves all in one master film."; "Gallant were the galleys of the Spanish Main of old, from their sterns of hammered silver to their figureheads of gold... and gallant were the oarsmen who sped them through the brine, with the swirl of foam behind them and the luring shark behind. Of love or joy or sorrow they drank the bitter lees, the servants of the oarlocks but the masters of the sea. You'll see them all in this wonder film."; based on the novel "by Rafael Sabatini") starring Milton Sills ("and an all star cast including"), Enid Bennett, Lloyd Hughes, Wallace Beery, Wallace MacDonald, Marc MacDermott and "thousands of people". Note that Warner Bros. re-used some of the footage from this movie in 1935's "Captain Blood", starring Errol Flynn (which was based on a different Sabatini novel). In 1940, Warner Bros. made a new version of "The Sea Hawk", again starring Errol Flynn, but for that movie, they threw out the original Sabatini novel altogether!

Important Added Info: Note that this is the first Grosset & Dunlap photoplay edition from 1924 in its original dust jacket. In our 26 years of auctioning, we have previously auctioned around a dozen hardcover movie edition books (most from Grosset & Dunlap). Now, we have been consigned an amazing collection of 37 hardcover movie edition books, and we are auctioning all of them in this set of auctions! All of them have the original dust jackets, and since we know that the condition of the dust jackets are very important on the value of these, we have photographed the entire dust jacket opened up (both sides), which will surely let you accurately gauge the condition of each book! 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, 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. As noted above, we have also pictured the dust jacket entirely opened and we have pictured the inside of the entire dust jacket, since we know collectors value that jacket and want to see its exact condition.
