Item description from seller

FIRST EDITIONS, crown 8vo, good condition overall. A superb pair of presentation copies, relating to the author's successful play (made into a film in 1932), both inscribed by Ervine to the actress Ursula Jeans - who played Elsie Fraser, the second wife and antagonist in the drama. In the first he offers a '"Thank you" for your brilliant performance [.] a performance that is all the more brilliant because you are as nice as Elsie is not'; in the second, he begins by apologising for 'the poor picture of you on the cover', commending her as 'an uncommonly good actress', for 'her brilliant performance' both in his play and her current role in 'Grand Hotel', 'but chiefly because [.] you are a very charming and sensible girl'. Both works are reasonably uncommon, the novelisation more so - particularly in the dustjacket - but as presentation copies they would be difficult to match. [With:] The programme for the play's initial run at the Theatre Royal, with cast photos including one of Ursula Jeans (who wants us to know the virtues of Ponds' Cold Cream) - staples rusting a little and closed tear to fore-margin of front cover, but good condition.
