Ruth GOETZ / Heiress A Play Based on the novel Washington Square Signed 1st 1949

Description: The Heiress: A Play (Based on the novel Washington Square by Henry James) Author: GOETZ, Ruth and Augustus Goetz [Henry James] Title: The Heiress: A Play (Based on the novel Washington Square by Henry James) Publication: London: Reinhardt & Evans, (1949) Edition: First U.K. Edition, First Printing Description: Hardcover. Octavo, 119pp., illustrated. A very good or better copy in the publisher's navy cloth. A few marignal stains, but a sound, clean example overall, lacking the dust jacket. A marvelous copy, SIGNED by the entire (save one) original cast of the first London production, directed by John Gielgud and starring Ralph Richardson and Peggy Ashcroft. Each of the following actors has signed the front free endpaper: Richardson, Ashcroft, James Donald, Gillian Lind, Ann Wilton, Madge Compton, Donald Sinden, and Pauline Jameson. Gillian Howell (who played Marian Almond) and director Gielgud did not sign this copy. The play, based on Henry James' novel "Washington Square," was highly successful on both sides of the Atlantic; quite fitting, as James himself lived a storied life both in New York (in Washington Square, in fact), and in England. "The Heiress" was also adapted in the same year (1949) into an eponymous hollywood film also starring Richardson, directed by William Wyler. A wonderful example; we haven't traced any cast-signed copies (from any production) in recent commerce or auction records. Very good +.
