This copy is in good vintage condition; pages still attached, all of them are there, and the cover is bright; minor wear, some minor crinkles, with some signs of usage and yellowing on the edges. Underneath the song title the prior owner (Eunice Roy Cederoth) stamped her name. There are two tape marks on the spine of the music where someone taped it together. The back cover shows some wear and discoloration at the crease where the music bends and is attached. The inside pages show some yellowing on the edges of the pages, and have a slight patina of age to them, but the contents are completely usable. I have taken close-up photos of the cover and sheet music, and can share them with you upon request.

Gable began his career as a stage actor and appeared as an extra in silent films between 1924 and 1926, and progressed to supporting roles with a few films for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1931. The next year, he landed his first leading Hollywood role and over the next three decades he became a leading man in more than 60 motion pictures. Gable won an Academy Award for Best Actor for “It Happened One Night” (1934), and was nominated for leading roles in “Mutiny on the Bounty” (1935) and for his arguably best-known role as Rhett Butler in the epic Civil War drama “Gone with the Wind” (1939). Gable also found success commercially and critically with films such as “Red Dust “ (1932), “Manhattan Melodrama” (1934), “San Francisco” (1936), “Saratoga” (1937) “Boom Town” (1940), “The Hucksters” (1947), “Homecoming” (1948), and “The Misfits” (1961), which was his final screen appearance. Gable appeared opposite some of the most popular actresses of the time. Joan Crawford was his favorite actress to work with, and she was partnered with Gable in eight films. Myrna Loy worked with him seven times, and he was paired with Jean Harlow in six productions. He also starred with Lana Turner in four features, and with Norma Shearer and Ava Gardner in three each. Gable's final film, “The Misfits” (1961), united him with Marilyn Monroe (also in her last screen appearance). Gable is considered one of the most consistent box-office performers in history, appearing on Quigley Publishing's annual Top Ten Money Making Stars Poll 16 times. He was named the seventh-greatest male star of classic American cinema by the American Film Institute. Joan Crawford (born Lucille Fay LeSueur; March 23, c. 1904 – May 10, 1977) was an American film and television actress who began her career as a dancer and stage showgirl. In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked Crawford tenth on its list of the greatest female stars of Classic Hollywood Cinema. Beginning her career as a dancer in traveling theatrical companies, before debuting as a chorus girl on Broadway, Crawford signed a motion picture contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1925. In the 1930s, Crawford's fame rivaled, and later outlasted, MGM colleagues Norma Shearer and Greta Garbo. Crawford often played hard-working young women who find romance and success. These stories were well received by Depression-era audiences and were popular with women. Crawford became one of Hollywood's most prominent movie stars and one of the highest-paid women in the United States. In 1928, Crawford starred opposite Ramón Novarro in “Across to Singapore,” but it was her role as Diana Medford in “Our Dancing Daughters” (1928) that catapulted her to stardom. The role established her as a symbol of modern 1920s-style femininity which rivaled Clara Bow, the original “It” girl, then Hollywood's foremost flapper. A stream of hits followed “Our Dancing Daughters,” including two more flapper-themed movies, in which Crawford embodied for her legion of fans (many of whom were women) an idealized vision of the free-spirited, all-American girl. F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote of Crawford: “Joan Crawford is doubtless the best example of the flapper, the girl you see in smart night clubs, gowned to the apex of sophistication, toying iced glasses with a remote, faintly bitter expression, dancing deliciously, laughing a great deal, with wide, hurt eyes. Young things with a talent for living.” In 1945 by starring in “Mildred Pierce,” she won the Academy Award for Best Actress. She would go on to receive Best Actress nominations for “Possessed” (1947) and “Sudden Fear” (1952). More photos of this matted print are available and can be shared upon request.
