A large 12-page program promoting the play. “Visit to a Small Planet†debuted as an original television production in 1955 then was reworked by Vidal as a Broadway play starring Cyril Ritchard and Eddie Mayehoff. On Broadway the play debuted on February 7 1957 and ran for 388 performances. It was Vidal's first Broadway play. Ritchard who also directed the play received a Tony Award nomination for his performance as Kreton. Mayehoff also received a nomination for Best Performance by a Featured Actor. Vidal intended the play as a satire on the post-World War II fear of communism in the United States McCarthyism Cold War military paranoia and the rising importance of television in American life. The play a comedy tells the story of Kreton an alien from an unnamed planet who lands on Earth intending to view the American Civil War. He miscalculates and lands instead 100 years later. Having missed the opportunity to see conflict first hand but delighted with all the new playthings the 20th century has invented for war-making he decides to create a war for himself. “Visit To A Small Planet†was made into a film starring Jerry Lewis. The film was released on February 4 1960. Quarto printed wraps; 16 pages. Photographs by Friedman-Abeles. Very Good covers nice; contents clean & tight. Gloria Enterprises unknown

VISIT TO A SMALL PLANET A COMEDY AKIN TO A VAUDEVILLE
Boston Toronto: Little Brown and Company 1957. INSCRIBED TO JOANNE WOODWARD AND DATED BY THE AUTHOR on the front free endpaper. "To Miss Joanne Woodward-for whom the beautiful part of Ellen was written- Gore Vidal Aug. 1957". One small area of rubbing and brown stain lower 1/3 of spine. Small water mark at top of rear cover. Jacket is darkened at creases some chipping with 1" piece missing from spine at lower portion of "Planet". Light water-stain top of rear panel. Original $2.95 price on front blurb. Photo of Cyril Ritchard and Eddie Mayehoff on rear panel.This is the play based on the television script for an episode of Goodyear Television Playhouse aired on May 8 1955. The play starring Mr. Ritchard who also directed the play ran 388 performances in 1957-58. The play was then made into a Hollywood film starring Jerry Lewis in 1960. We can find no evidence that Miss Woodward ever played the role of Ellen Spelding. Sylvia Davis is listed in the playbill for the TV episode. Sarah Marshall is cast as Ellen in the Broadway play. Joan Blackman played her in the film adaptation. We know from biographical sources that Miss Woodward was a close friend of the author. Some reports suggest that she was engaged to Vidal prior to marrying Paul Newman. Vidal noted that it was all a stunt to attrract Newman's attention to Miss Woodward. She shared a house with Vidal in Los Angeles for a short time. Furthermore Paul Newman shared living quarters with Vidal at an earlier time. An unusual association copy of a work by the acclaimed American writer 1925-2012. Signed by Author. First Edition. Green and White Cloth. Light edge and Corner Wear/Chipped Dust Jacket. Octavo.

Williwaw
New York: Dutton 1946. First Edition First Printing of the Author’s First Book. With a remarkable extensive signed inscription by Gore Vidal to Dr. William Shelton Gray Jr. written over two pages providing details on the development and history of the novel: “For Bill Gray - Twenty years later; this first and onlyedition was 5000 copies - In time all sold - There has never been a hard-cover reprint - The book was written 1944-45 - Begun aboard F.S. 35 at Chesapeake Bay just before New Year's '44. Finished at East Hampton Shortly after Hiroshima – Gore Vidal Jan 2 - 1967 NYCâ€. Vidal’s inscriptions in books are notoriously short even to close friends and this book has the longest Vidal inscription we have encountered anywhere. William Gray was the Chairman of the English Department at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland Virginia who edited Tennessee Williams’ only book of poetry In the Winter of Cities and one of W.H. Auden’s last poems “The Aliens†was dedicated to him. Gray met and befriended Vidal through Williams. Hardcover dust jacket octavo 222 pages. The volume is in very good used condition with some rubbing to the cloth edges in a very good dust jacket with some rubbing some aging and light chipping. Williwaw is the term widely thought to be Native American in origin for a sudden violent Katabatic wind common to the Aleutian Islands. The story combines war drama maritime adventure and a murder plot. The book is a World War II novel set on a U.S. ship in the Arctic waters around the Aleutians in the Pacific Ocean in the middle of the local storm season during World War II. The nervousness and tension of the crew and a handful of passengers at the approach of the Williwaw is stretched to breaking point when the Chief Engineer Duval falls overboard in suspicious circumstances.

The binding done in-house is machine-sewn and bound in full dark blue cloth with a paper spine label. The endpapers are printed with the plans of the ship in the novel. The dust jacket is cover weight paper with strips of dark blue cloth along the top and bottom edges and printed with the review quotations on the back panel that were printed on the dust jacket of the first edition conventional promotional copy on the flaps and a drawing of a freight-supply ship on the front cover beneath the title set in ascending sizes of Futura Bold type. Edition of 250 numbered copies plus 26 lettered copies hors de commerce signed by the author. Gore Vidal 1925-2012 wrote a new introduction for this fiftieth anniversary edition of his first novel composed during World War II when he was a nineteen-year-old first mate on an Army supply ship in the Aleutians. <br /> <br /> The battles are far removed but nature becomes the enemy in the form of a storm at sea and the psychological subject is the tedium of waiting for the war to end.<br /> <br /> Reproduced are plans for the type of freight-supply ship Vidal was assigned to and that he used as the setting for the novel. The drawings were found by Hoyem with assistance from the San Francisco Maritime Museum and the Whatcom Museum in Bellingham Washington. They show the outboard profile deck plans for the navigation bridge and main- and below-deck arrangements. <br /> <br /> Stephanie Dal Porto who answered the Press's telephone was terribly worried that Gore Vidal would call from Italy and that she would impulsively imitate the voice of the comedienne Lily Tomlin playing a receptionist by responding: "Yes Mr. Veedle!" When he did call Hoyem answered and the author said that he had not replied to emails because his Internet connection and computer had been zapped by lightening. <br /> <br /> __POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. <br /> <br /> ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
