An excellent association copy. <br style="">"Of The I Sing" opened in New York City on Dec. 26 1931 and ran for 441 performances receiving critical and box office success. Brooks Atkinson's original review in the New York Times called it "a taut and lethal satire. funnier than the government and not nearly so dangerous." In 1932 it became the first musical comedy ever to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize. An original musical comedy in two acts with the book by George S. Kaufman and Morrie Ryskind music by George Gershwin and lyrics by Ira Gershwin the songs in the production include: "Wintergreen For President"; "Who Is the Lucky Girl To Be"; "The Dimple on My Knee"; "Because Because"; "As the Chairman of the Committee"; "How Beautiful"; "Never Was There a Girl So Fair"; "Some Girls Can Bake a Pie"; "Love is Sweeping the Country"; "Of Thee I Sing"; "Here's a Kiss for Cinderella"; "I Was the Most Beautiful Blossom"; "Hello Good Morning"; "Who Cares"; "Garcon S'il vous plait"; "The Illegitimate Daughter"; "We'll Impeach Him"; "The Senatorial Roll Call"; "Jilted"; "Who Could Ask For Anything More I'm About to Be a Mother"; "Posterity Is Just Around the Corner"; "Trumpeter Blow Your Golden Horn"; and "Finale On That Matter No One Budges." <br>"George Pallay was a Paley cousin and a friend of George's since 1917. Pallay was a bit of a shady character. It was said that he had Mafia connections. A stock promoter and investor who had changed his name from Abramson he was often part of George's entourage someone who arranged the tickets knew the right bootleggers. He was the friend who would get the girl for George and then get rid of the girl for George. Pallay was singularly devoted to George and no one had been more vigilant during the final days. Pallay had played a key role at the hospital during Gershwin's brain surgery having been stationed at a desk just outside the operating theater along with George's agent Arthur Lyons. As the operation progressed the doctors would tell Pallay what was happening and then he would relay the latest update by telephone to the four family members – Lee and Ira and Lee's sister Emily Paley and her husband Lou who had just arrived – waiting on another floor. At first the news seemed good and Pallay informed the family that a cyst the size of a grapefruit had been discovered and excised. This seemed to be good news and the doctors were momentarily optimistic. The news was relayed to the family. Then the surgeons discovered that in fact there remained an embedded tumor. At this point George's brain was swelling uncontrollably. The outlook was grim. This terrible update was relayed by Pallay to the family."

First edition signed limited issue number 39 of 250 copies bound in publisher's full red morocco and signed by George and Ira Gershwin DuBose Heyward and Rouben Mamoulian. In summer 1926 George Gershwin read DuBose Heyward's 1925 novel Porgy about the Gullah community in South Carolina in one sitting. "The potential of this book to become the basis of a powerful opera - his opera - jumped out at him. In the morning he wrote to Heyward saying they ought to get together to discuss the idea" Rimler p 21. The immediate plan to adapt it into an opera was curtailed by Heyward's wife first adapting the novel as a stage play Porgy and Bess which opened in 1927. It was not until 1933 that Heyward and Gershwin settled on doing the adaptation with the agreement on 3 November 1933 that "Gershwin would write the score Heyward the libretto and that Heyward and Ira would collaborate on the lyrics" ibid. On its opening night 30 September 1935 Boston's Colonial Theatre gave the performance "a fifteen-minute standing ovation" and the work is now considered Gershwin's masterpiece. "Combining the dramatic structure of opera and the musical style of jazz and Tin Pan Alley the work was especially important in the development of American musical theater. Although it did not recoup its investment Porgy and Bess was an outstanding achievement that brought black singers to the Broadway stage in significant roles" American National Biography.
