LANGLEY Noel
Autographed Letter Signed A.L.S. "Noel Langley
Old Tymes 1940. fine. Very scarce A.L.S. 8vo. 1 page Old Tymes Connecticut November 11 1940 less than one year after the success of Oz and only one year before he would join the Canadian Navy during World War II in full: "Many thanks for your letter and the contracts. I do not see any objection to the terms there-in but UI would prefer to wait until the outcome of the Walm's deal with Hirsch is settled before I sign it. At the moment I am entirely on the hope that the option will expire on December 23rd with the play unproduced but I cannot lose sight of the fact that Hirsch may be able to promote a production". When Langley came out of the Canadian military following World War II he went to England and worked on several screenplays with luke-warm success. He became a United States citizen in 1961 and soon thereafter worked part-time as a drug counselor in California. Boldly signed and in excellent condition. From the archives of Samuel French & Son's.<br/><br/> LANGLEY Noel - 1911 - 1970 South African playwright best remembered as the 26 year old writer of the screenplay for the 1939 classic film The Wizard of Oz - and is one of the three credited screenwriters of the film. Langley literally ditched half of Frank Baum's book and added such important original concepts as the Ruby Red Slippers; instead of two good witches he amalgamated the Good Witch of the North with Glinda into one character. In Baum's book Dorothy encounters many threats to her safety - but in the screenplay Langley turned the wicked witch of the West into Dorothy's sole adversary. Most important he introduced to the story the inclusion of the actors playing the Tin Man Scarecrow and Cowardly Lion as farmhands and family in the sepia-tone Kansas sequence as well as introducing Miss Almira Gulch the Wicked Witch's counterpart. By doing this Langley created the continuity that bridged the characters as "real" people in Kansas to their roles in the Land of Oz; something that Baum could never perceive.<br/><br/> unknown books

LANGLEY NOEL & ELWOOD ULLMAN THE THREE STOOGES
Snow White and the Three Stooges - Screenplay by Noel Langley and Elwood Ullman. With Two Black & White Stills from the Film
Los Angeles: Twentieth Century-Fox 1960. Original 132 page revised first draft shooting script with color rewrite pages for the film Snow White and the Three Stooges written by Noel Langley and Elwood Ullman dated October 24 1960 and November 10 1960. Bradbound. Fine copy in printed studio covers. The film was directed by Walter Lang and Frank Taschlin. With two 8’ x 10†black & white stills from the film - one showing all three Stooges and Edson Stroll as Prince Charming and the other of Stroll about to kiss the sleeping Carol Heiss as Snow White. Both stills are in uniformly fine condition with the one of Edson & Heiss showing two sets of very minor staple holes at the margin. This comic retelling of the classic fairy tale tells the story of an ice-skating Snow White who is forced to flee from her jealous stepmother played by Patricia Medina with the Three Stooges substituting for the Seven Dwarves. The film was released in the U.S. on May 26 1961 in Philadelphia PA. Twentieth Century-Fox unknown books

Langley was possibly better-known owing to the initial success of this novel as one of the screenwriters hired in the same year that it was published to adapt L. Frank Baum's Wonderful Wizard of Oz to film; his treatment includes a number of story elements that remained in the finished film such as creating farmhand characters in the sepia opening scenes who would become the Scarecrow Tin Woodman and Cowardly Lion in Oz; creating Almira Gulch the Wicked Witch's Kansas counterpart; and changing the color of Dorothy's slippers from silver to ruby.

The wrapper is protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. The scarcer First Small Paper edition also issued in large paper format. Langley s scarce work of children s fiction and a fairy tale concerning the son of Aladdin. 20 striking illustrations in colour by the author throughout. Noel Langley was born on Christmas Day in Durban South Africa and showed a talent for creative writing from a young age. Unperturbed by the less-than-enthusiastic response from his father who valued physical activity over artistic pursuits Langley began writing plays while at University the first of which was performed in Durban in 1932. He went on to write for West End Theatres published a successful novel Cage me a Peacock in 1935 and eventually accepted a full-time contract for the film production company MGM. The Land of Green Ginger tells the story of Abu Ali the son of Aladdin who is now the emperor of China. Ali s first words Button-nosed tortoise lead him on a fated quest which he embarks upon when he reaches maturity. Along the way he meets Wicked Princes Rubdub Ben Thud and Tintac Ping Foo as well as magic phoenix birds and the classic magic carpet and he must foil a series of evil schemes in order to complete his mission. The plot is very much set around the classic concept of The Hero s Journey in which the protagonist travels out on an adventure overcomes perils and returns home much changed by his or her experiences. The book was noted as being one of the first to continue a story after a happily ever after ending and was particularly popular at the time for its use of humorous wordplay. Langley s book was so successful that the following year he was approached to write the screenplay for the now famous film adaptation of The Wizard of Oz. In fact it was Langley who suggested that Dorothy s shoes should be changed from silver to ruby giving us the iconic image so associated with the story today. In 1964 Langley recorded The Tale of the Land of Green Ginger in its entirety for LP. 1966 the book was re-issued with illustrations by Edward Ardizzone. Scarce indeed in the wrapper. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.</p> Arthur Barker Limited, London hardcover
