FIFTY SIX BOUND VOLUMES OF THEATER MAGAZINE from 1909 to 1938, bound six months to a volume. This absolutely unique set, with bindings in red, cobalt blue, mustard and chrome green, was suggested by actor and decorator, William Haines, to complement the decor of screenwriter Nunnally Johnson's living room in the late 1940's. The condition of this set is fine, the boards are impecable, some of the spines are bumped at top or bottom. The texts are clean, colors bright as the day they were published, tight and unmarked, the magazines themselves have exceptional Art Nouveau and Art Deco covers in unfaded color and are an encyclopedic history of the theater in the early Twentieth Century. The bindings have gold stamping on their spines with title, dates, and masks of Comedy and Tragedy. On each front cover "Nunnally Johnson" is stamped in the lower right corner. From1909-1924 the volumes' measurements are 13.5" x 9.5". From 1925 onward the magazine was reduced in size and the volumes' measurements are 12.5" x 9.5". The stamping on the spines have been adjusted so that all stampings line up. Pictures are available on request.
