1960rif. 361749Los Angeles: Comedia Productions 1960. Ephemera. Very good. A production script for an undetermined production of this musical based on the characters from Steinbeck's Cannery Row. The initial 1955 production was widely panned but it has been produced in smaller theaters around the US. This version with Leslie Abbott's Comedia Productions imprint is undated but may be from the 1960s or 1970s. Abbott 1925–2012 spent most of his career in the San Francisco Bay Area where he taught at Diablo Valley College and directed more than 150 plays. Why this script has a Los Angeles address your cataloguer does not know. The script is a photocopy of a much photocopied script bound with prong fasteners into a blue paper folder. A costume designer has made note on various pages and on the verso back of the last leaf including "Pad Sandee's Boobs." Prong binding somewhat rusted. With notes from the bookseller Peter Howard Serendipity Books in Berkeley on the first page. Comedia Productions unknown

Jacket design by Robert Hallock. keywords: American Literature. DESCRIPTION - The Pearl is a novella by American author John Steinbeck published in 1947. This section may contain original research. Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding references. Statements consisting only of original research may be removed. More details may be available on the talk page. January 2010A story based on a Mexican folk tale The Pearl explores the secrets of man's nature the darkest depths of evil and the disastrous effects of stepping out of an established system for bad things will happen if one abuses his/her spot according to the novel. The Pearl has a strong moral that people should be content with one's life as demonstrated in the book when many unfortunate events happen to Kino his wife Juana and their baby boy Coyotito after the discovery of the pearl later in the book. The novella presents this view through the character of the privileged town's people among them the pearl traders who participate in continuing the oppression of the indigenous people Kino's race by offering Kino an unfair price for his pearl. The book also describes the messages of oppression and racism in a way that shows they are negative elements in life and it shows this when the doctor refers to Kino's race as animals. The Pearl itself something that can be held in the palm of the hand eventually leads to the destruction of a well-respected family. At the outset Kino envisions a better future the pearl will bring as he wants new clothes for his family and himself a proper wedding for him and Juana and a proper education for Coyotito. Before Kino undertakes his plans friends and relatives of Kino wonder whether it will make or break Kino and his family and people question whether he can achieve these goals because Kino would have to essentially break the rigid social structure. inventory #6832 hardcover

"Ancient pagan beliefs the great Greek epics and the Bible all inform this extraordinary novel by Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck which occupied him for more than five difficult years. While fulfilling his dead father's dream of creating a prosperous farm in California Joseph Wayne comes to believe that a magnificent tree on the farm embodies his father's spirit. His brothers and their families share in Joseph's prosperity and the farm flourishes-until one brother frightened by Joseph's pagan belief kills the tree allowing disease and famine to descend on the farm. Set in familiar Steinbeck country To a God Unknown is a mystical tale exploring one man's attempt to control the forces of nature and ultimately to understand the ways of God and the forces of the unconscious within." - Penguin Random House Tower Books, World Publishing Co hardcover
