1931rif. 25817Boston: Little Brown and Company. Fair. 1931. First Edition.

Novel about a sophisticated New York marriage that turns sour. The first of only two published novels by Ms. Wilde a prolific short story writer and sometime playwright who later became better known as a screenwriter notably of the classic screwball comedies BRINGING UP BABY she had also written the original magazine story and shared the screenplay credit with with Dudley Nichols and I WAS A MALE WAR BRIDE both directed by Howard Hawks and for what it's worth both featuring Cary Grant in drag. For those who are interested in such minutae the dedicatee of this novel "E.V.H." was undoubtedly her second of four husbands Ernest Victor Heyn. This novel was her first entree to Hollywood as it was announced that Paramount had purchased the movie rights although no movie was ever made but it was RKO's later purchase of the Collier's story that became BRINGING UP BABY that firmly established her screenwriting career. .
