HERVEY, Harry
An early treatment script of the film Shanghai Express
1930. Softcover. Very Good. An early treatment script of the film Shanghai Express. Measuring 8½" x 11". 22 mimeographed pages printed rectos only stapled along the spine. Front page detached from staples front page and a bit of the second page with scattered ink markings moderate chipping toning and bumping along the edges thus about very good the text largely clean throughout.<br /> <br /> An early 22-page treatment script for the famed film Shanghai Express written by Harry Hervey who is generally only credited with writing the short story from which the film was based. The second page includes a list of characters which differs slightly from the film most notably a character named Laura Mason who seems to be the film's character Shanghai Lily played by Marlene Dietrich. Also different is the character Captain Esme Simpson who appears to be the film's character Captain Donald Harvey played by Clive Brook. The film directed by Josef von Sternberg and released in February of 1932 also featured noted Chinese-American actress Anna May Wong as Hui Fei. <br /> <br /> An interesting piece of Pre-Code Era Hollywood likely printed in very small numbers for a select group of people. unknown

Congaï.
New York: Cosmopolitan Book Corporation 1927. Critics lauded it not only for its frank handling of sex but also for its exposé of imperialism First edition otherwise untraced in recent commerce of the first American novel on Indochina. The book's exploration of French colonialism and the titular protagonist's subversion of the colonial order has given it a renewed appeal in the 21st century. Having travelled to Asia as a young man Hervey 1900-1951 wrote novels and scripts set in the region and conceived the story for the 1932 film Shanghai Express. He studied Buddhism for a period in Burma and was friends with the Chinese national figurehead Sun Yat-Sen. Hervey's career was overshadowed by intolerance towards his homosexuality: "Reading his works three of which are now back in print with a biography looming you'll find a discernible gay fingerprint on almost everything he touched" Greene. Octavo. Original black cloth spine and front cover lettered in silver silver roundel on front board. With dust jacket. Silverfishing to cloth tape abrasions on pastedowns webbing exposed at rear inner hinge but holding firm; jacket unclipped spine sunned some chipping two old adhesive tape repairs on verso: a very good copy in very good jacket.
