1942rif. 130419Los Angeles: Twentieth Century-Fox 1942. Final script for the 1942 film. A lighthearted drama centering on a female stamp collector obsessed with a government mail sack of undelivered letters that has turned up after missing for 50 years. The AFI Catalog notes that all the title cards for the film's opening credits are handwritten on envelopes postmarked 1889. A studio press release asserted that producer Ralph Dietrich got the idea for the film from a newspaper story concerning "the discovery in Philadelphia some months ago of a mail bag apparently the loot of a robbery some seventy-five years before." The story reported that the mail would be delivered by the post office to the addressees or their heirs.

1930rif. 1282461930. First Edition. Signed. JOYCE James. Haveth Childers Everywhere. Fragment from Work in Progress. Paris: Henry Babou and Jack Kahane; New York: Fountain Press 1930. Slim folio original printed paper wraps uncut and unopened original glassine original gilt chemise and green cardboard slipcase. Housed in a custom chemise and clamshell box. $17500.First edition number 50 of only 100 signed copies on ÒImperial Hand-Made Iridescent JapanÓ paper out of a total edition of 685 copies. A stunning copy.This is one of several fragments from Work in Progress published in 1939 as Finnegans Wake that Joyce issued to raise money while working on the mammoth project. One of the publishers Jack Kahane who idolized Joyce had originally asked Sylvia Beach to allow him to take over publication of Ulysses. Instead she introduced Kahane to Joyce who then agreed to let him publish Haveth Childers Everywhere. The effort nearly ruined Kahane and only by selling the American rights to the work were he and co-publisher Henry Babou able to save themselves from bankruptcy. When Faber and Faber was preparing the first London editions of Anna Livia Plurabelle and Haveth Childers Everywhere 1930 and 1931 respectively ""Joyce wrote rhymes for the 'blurb' on the dust jacket. The Haveth Childers verse is quoted in this description headlineÉ He was a little annoyed when the publicity departmentÉ used them only on a mimeographed publicity release to which they prefixed a note: 'The Sales department puzzled as such departments are wont to be have sought some light on the two James Joyce contributions to Criterion Miscellany. Below the explanations offered are passed on that you may be able to derive similar enlightenment"" Ellmann 617n. Slocum and Cahoon A41.

I am a sergeant now and never expect to go any higher. For to get a commission I'd be obliged to go to school away from the Regiment for some months and when school was over I'd be sent - whether or not I had gained a commission - not back to this Regiment but to some strange outfit. And I'd rather be a sergeant in the 69th than an officer in any other Regiment ."
