Frank Yerby... The Foxes of Harrow...



Item # 698756

September 24, 1947

NEW YORK TIMES, Sept. 24, 1947 

* 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.
