Along with her husband, Edgar Selwyn, she was one of the founding members of The Goldwyn Company in 1917. Margaret Mayo was born on November 19, 1882 in Brownsville, Illinois, USA as Lillian Slatten. She was a writer and actress, known for The Poor Boob (1919), Baby Mine (1917) and Polly of the Circus (1932). She was married to Edgar Selwyn. She died on February 25, 1951 in Ossining, New York, USA. Trooping for the Troupes: Fun-Making at the Front. New York: George H. Doran Company, 1919. Mayo was one of six actors from the "Overseas Theatre League" to play in American camps in France during World War 1. I recently purchased a collection of books from the estate of the owner of a former New York City bookstore named Cinemabilia, run by Ernest D. Burns. It was located in Greenwich Village in the 1970's and 1980's and, I believe, closed down in the late 1980's. Many of the books I will be listing are "new old stock" in that they were never sold. When his store closed down, he boxed everything up and they have spent the last thirty years boxed and/or bagged. As many were bagged, they will retain the brand new crispness of the jacket and pages, with many of the books clearly having never been opened until I did so to inspect and photograph them for purposes of identification. Those that were not bagged may have dusty edges or toning to the edges of the jackets and pages. If that is the case, I will describe them as such. Most of the new books that I have were printed in the 1970's and 1980's and I will also be listing many used books as this was also a used bookstore. I also have a bunch of signed books. While Adolph Zukor's autograph has gone down in value, that of Veronica Lake and Truman Capote has increased. Since my "store" is limited to 1,000 listings, the books will be listed also on my wife's account and the best way to find my listings will be to search the name that is printed above in bold letters and include "description" in the search. I am only beginning to list them in June and it will likely take me a couple of months to get them all up. For many of these unsold books, the worst issue will be that there was a price label on the book somewhere, sometimes on the front paste down. While the labels come right off, they will have left discoloring behind. Again, if that is the case, I will mention it. I utilize a third party EBAY supplied shipper for international sales. This is part of the Global Shipping Program. Please note the actual shipping cost before purchasing. That is not my shipping fee and I neither receive it nor know what the amount is. I have no control over import fees that may be charged. Please do not commit to "buy it now" until you have seen the shipping amount that you will be charged. Thank you. For International Buyers: Media Mail shipments only. Please note that, although you are likely paying very high shipping costs to have this item sent to you, I am not charging those costs. In the case of books, I utilize "media mail" to get the box to the third party shipper. "Media mail" is a very SLOW speed mailing process reserved for books and records that are potentially very heavy. If you can not wait for my shipment to reach the third party shipper at a very slow pace, please contact me before purchasing and I can add a faster (and more expensive) alternative to the listing to get the item to the third party shipper. hwclown MEDIA MAIL: The USPS allows books, records and other media to be mailed at a cheaper price than typical mail. It tends to be a much slower mailing process than standard mail. In addition, any employee of the USPS can open the package at ANY time for ANY reason to verify that what is inside is what should be inside. In most cases, the item is properly repackaged but in rare cases it is not, and an item can arrive damaged. As my feedback suggests, I package very carefully. If you receive a damaged item that has the appearance of having been poorly packaged, please contact me prior to leaving feedback so that it can be addressed. PLEASE NOTE: For book sales, I virtually always include a vinyl bag tightly wrapped on the exterior. This is an attempt to prevent any USPS employee from opening the package for inspection as it would be time consuming for them to repackage it. This is done simply because my packaging is done more carefully than their repackaging and also to protect the book from the elements. The vinyl bag covers cardboard protection and you can simply cut the bag open (carefully) and remove the contents. The cardboard protection is also typically held with tape and cutting in the obvious places will allow the cardboard to pop right open, exposing the book (in another protective vinyl bag). Using this method, you should be able to open any book I send in under a minute. No "buzz saw" is required. Thank you
