Publisher?s full red cloth, front board and spine stamped in white (spine rubbed and creased, some edgewear, soiling to boards); original printed dust jacket, with text on verso (some edgewear, chipping, a few tears, spine toned). FIRST PHOTOPLAY EDITION in the scarce jacket. On the dust jacket: ?This Is a Scene from the F. B. O. Photoplay of This Story?.
