‎Eight original art works for different versions of a theater poster advertising Oscar Serlin's production of the Broadway debut of John Steinbeck's play The Moon is Down New York 1942. Together with one version of a printed poster‎

‎New York 1941-42 1941. Overall condition is very good. Eight original gouache on paper art works with text and illustration for different trial versions of a theater poster for Oscar Serlin's production of the Broadway debut of John Steinbeck's play The Moon is Down New York 1942. Together with one version of a printed poster. Nine variations all demonstrably different and by several different artists only one of whom is identified: Witold Gordon who was known for his New Yorker magazine covers. His signature is on two of the versions. Sizes vary from approximately 13 x 9 to 28 x 20 inches; all are mounted on pasteboard or cardboard. The Moon is Down was John Steinbeck's second attempt at converting one of his novels into a play Of Mice and Men was the first. It was originally written while Steinbeck was on assignment from the Foreign Information Service a division of the Office of Strategic Services that was charged with combating Nazi propaganda. The first draft of the story depicting a small American town invaded by German troops was rejected by the FIS who feared that it might demoralize the American public. In the second draft Steinbeck kept the basic plot but changed the setting to a fictitious Scandinavian town. Despite mixed critical reception the The Moon is Down was a popular success and a bestseller. Shortly after its publication Broadway producer Oscar Serlin who thought the story would attract a large audience if made into a play purchased the dramatic rights. In April 1942 The Moon is Down premiered on Broadway with Otto Kruger as Colonel Lanser and Ralph Morgan as Mayor Orden. Its initial run lasted nine weeks and the play was well received on the road and abroad especially in London and Stockholm. The Moon is Down was nominated for Best Play by the New York Drama Critics' Circle and placed second. Provenance: The collection of producer Oscar Serlin. <br/><br/> (New York, 1941-42) unknown books‎

‎Steinbeck John‎

‎In Dubious Battle.‎

‎New York: Covici-Friede Publishers 1936. First edition of this "dramatically intense beautifully written novel" The New Republic; the first book in Steinbeck's Dustbowl trilogy which was followed by Of Mice and Men and The Grapes of Wrath. Octavo original cloth. Signed by John Steinbeck on the front free endpaper in a contemporary hand. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket with light rubbing and a few short tears. Trade editions are rare signed. On publication New York Times reviewer Fred T. March compared it to the "genial gusto" of the "picaresque" Tortilla Flat. He commented that "You would never know that In Dubious Battle was by the same John Steinbeck if the publishers did not tell you so." He called it "courageous and desperately honest" "the best labor and strike novel to come out of our contemporary economic and social unrest" and "such a novel as Sinclair Lewis at his best might have done had he gone on with his projected labor novel." In 1943 with Steinbeck now famous Carlos Baker "revalued" the novel. He opened by saying "Among Steinbeck's best novels the least known is probably In Dubious Battle." Steinbeck he said "is supremely interested in what happens to men's minds and hearts when they function not as responsible self-governing individuals but as members of a group. Biologists have a word for this very important problem; they call it bionomics or ecology." He said that "Steinbeck's bionomic interest is visible in all that he has done from Tortilla Flat in the middle Thirties through his semi-biological Sea of Cortez to his latest communiques as a war correspondent in England." He characterized In Dubious Battle as "an attempt to study a typical mid-depression strike in bionomic terms." In 1958 critic Alfred Kazin referred to In Dubious Battle and The Grapes of Wrath as "his most powerful books" contrasting them with Cannery Row and The Wayward Bus. President Barack Obama told the New York Times that it was his favorite book by Steinbeck. It is the basis for the 2016 film directed by and produced by James Franco with a screenplay by Matt Rager. The film features an ensemble cast consisting of Franco Nat Wolff Josh Hutcherson Selena Gomez Vincent D'Onofrio Analeigh Tipton Zach Braff Bryan Cranston Ed Harris and Robert Duvall.
