Summer and Smoke
n.p.: New Directions. Very Good in Very Good dj. c.1948. First Edition. Hardcover. price-clipped good solid copy slight discoloration to cloth at top of spine age-browning and light spotting to top of text block; jacket spine a little faded some uneven fading to front panel browning around perimeter of rear panel minor wear to extremities a couple of light scuff marks on front panel. B&W photographs The text of this edition is illustrated by four photographs from what I presume is the original 1948 Broadway production starring Margaret Phillips and Tod Andrews -- although I have seen at least one of these photos credited to Eileen Darby identified as having been from a production at the Dipson's Erlanger Theatre in Buffalo New York. Nowhere in the book are these photographs attributed to a specific production although it is noted that the play was first produced in Dallas by Margo Jones. The original Broadway production by the way was a bit of a flop despite being TW's immediate follow-up to "A Streetcar Named Desire." The play didn't really make a splash until its 1952 revival at New York's Circle in the Square which also was Geraldine Page's first major stage success; she reprised her role as Alma in the 1961 film version opposite Laurence Harvey. NOTE: This is the first issue dust jacket with the rear jacket flap containing advertisements for three books under the heading "Other Books by Tennessee Williams" -- not as you will occasionally see stated "reviews" of any sort. .
