Title: The Melody Man
Description: New York, Jacobsen Publishing Company, 1930. 1st Edition, 1st Printing. Paperback. Photoplay original issued with the early talking film of the same title starring William Collier Jr. and Alice Day. 98-page softcover book in near fine condition - the only flaw is a small dime-size scuff mark in the rear corner of the back cover. Contains a color still of the two stars at the piano on the front cover and a b/w still on the rear cover. Issued without interior stills. THE MELODY MAN was a pre-code musical issued by Columbia Pictures. It was based on a popular Broadway play. Jacobsen Publishing issued a series of softcover photoplay editions in the 1920s and erly 30s - these fragile items were generally of lesser filoms than the hardcover photoplays issued by larger publishers and also tended to contain fewer illustrations. Today they are quite scarce. Very Good .
