About This Item
133 pp. Ads on back leaf. Slight wear to edges and top and bottom of spine, else fine. Quarto, 8.5 x 11 in., The "1999" on the lower left is not a date. Other longer digits appear there in other exemplars; this seems to me to be the original 1946/7 issue, but I am unable to verify. Book by E.Y. Harburg & Fred Saidy. Crawford Music Corporation, c1947. Made in England. Vocal Score. Pictorial wraps, illus, Don Freeman. Laid in a program from November 14-18, 1956, for a production at Brown University by "Sock and Buskin," a student theater group, at the Faunce House Theater. The musical was performed on several campuses in 1956, having been revived on Broadway in 1955. Also laid in, an article by E. Y. Harburg, "The Bridge That Spans the Galaxy," clipped from an unidentified source. There Harburg says, "The merry, light-hearted handling of all these problems by the dancing, singing leprechauns and pixie people, make us long wistfully for a Congress of just such characters in Washington, D.C."
