First edition of the author's acclaimed collection of Broadway memoirs. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author in the year of publication, "To one I highly regard Barney Beller Best Wishes George Jessel 5/61." Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Jacket design by Ben Feder.
With the touch of a poet and the heart of an old vaudevillian George Jessel brings to us the confiding thoughts of fifty-six glittering guys and gals who once walked the streets of Big Town. The Great Ones - Fanny Brice, Flo Ziegfeld, Eva Tanguay, Al Jolson - speak to us from the grave, reminiscing about all the outrageous things they did and the things they wish they had done.
