* Writer Frank Yerby
* Large opening day ad for "THE FOXES OF HARROW"
* 1st Hollywood script written by a black writer
Page 19 has a large ad for the premier of "The Foxes of Harrow", written by Frank Yerby. This movie was created from the 1st script ever purchased by Hollywood which was written by a black writer and then made into a major motion picture. The fact that it starred Rex Harrison and Mauren O'Hara makes it all the more desirable (i.e., popular movie stars of the day wanted a major role in the film).
Other news of the day with period advertising is found throughout.
Complete in 48 pages, "rag edition", in very good condition.
