Hardcover. Condición: Very Good+. Good dj. First Edition. [a good sound copy with modest shelfwear, very slight bumping to lower extremities; the jacket is heavily edgeworn, with a number of small tears and nicks, and small bits of paper loss at most corners]. (13 B&W film stills) Novelization (and thus a true first edition) of…the 1928 movie, a World War I drama about "a wistful little French girl who is both mother and sister to the seven young sky fighters of the Royal Fighting Corps quartered on her mother's farm near the French front." Colleen Moore (to whom the book is dedicated) played the girl, and the handsomest of the sky fighters was portrayed by Gary Cooper, at the time just on the cusp of becoming a major star. The picture was originally released with a Vitaphone score and music effects, but no dialogue, so for all intents and purposes it was a silent film. The number and placement of the stills illustrating the text (in three groups of four, printed on both sides of the plates) is somewhat unusual for a G&D Photoplay Edition of the era. The original stage production had a 176-performance run on Broadway in 1917, and was written by Jane Cowl (who also starred in the play) and Jane Murfin.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - It is a pleasure to introduce this special volume of the Industry and Health Care Series. It is special for the best of reasons: it is primarily written by industry representatives. Using the Washing ton Business Group on Health 1978 Annual Meeting… as its starting point, this volume captures the feelings, concerns, and experience of many who are leading industry's increasingly significant presence in health policy and economics. While many of the largest companies achieve more sophisticated levels of involvement, the fact remains that most companies of all sizes and especially the smaller businesses either will not or cannot devote the time or resources to become active participants. We hope this volume will help demonstrate the value of even one person's commit ment. Although our organizational focus is Washington, the WBGH rec ognizes that, in the long run, the quality and cost of the health care most Americans receive will be-and should be-determined at the local level. To let this happen without industry involvement would represent an abdication of both responsibility and opportunity. Fortunately, we see a growth of industry involvement, growth not just in terms of numbers but also in terms of the scope of activities. - Recognizing that the key to changing provider behavior is to change the economic incentives, emanating from the major payers, em- vi Preface ployers are subjecting their employee benefit plans to the most com plete scrutiny in many years.

Condición: Near Fine. dj. First edition. First printing of this educational survey that combines advice on screenwriting and directing with the scenario scripts for the films "A Kiss for Cinderella," "The Last Command," and "The Scarlet Letter." "Patterson was one of the earliest university lecturers on motion pictures," notes t…he Women Film Pioneers Project; for her, "the writer, and not the director, was the guiding vision behind a film." This is clear in MOTION PICTURE CONTINUITIES, where she emphasizes the aesthetic composition of the scenes and placements of the actors within a shot. Her career is ripe for further study, as her "desire to teach in adult-education and outreach programs" was "rarely recognized as important by chroniclers of university history" (Women Film Pioneers Project). 7.5'' x 4.75''. Original red cloth binding. Original unclipped ($3.00) pictorial dust jacket. Black-and-white pictorial frontispiece with three black-and-white plates. x, [4], 246 pages. Jacket with some edgewear and a bit of rubbing. One tiny spot of soil to fore-edge. Clean and bright. Near fine in very good plus dust jacket.
