The Girl
Of The Golden West
By David Belasco

One woman alone amongst a thousand rough, hardscrabble men, a queen among savages where fortunes are made, and stolen.  This was originally a play starring the demure and dramatic wonder, Sylvia Breamer, in a First National attraction, an Edwin Carewe Production. Grosset & Dunlap were the publishers out of New York.  Dodd, Mead & Co. held the 1911 copyright. It became famous for bringing many great westerns galloping to book shelves, with Frederick Faust alone keeping their presses hot, but a whole string of other authors took up any slack that might have presented itself.

Like john Wayne, Sylvia tilted her head down so that when she looked at you the whites of her eyes gleamed up from below the iris.  There was just the slightest touch of shadow beneath the eyes and her eyelashes were short, almost invisible.
Sylvia's eyes were dark, her eyebrows were thick and almost straight across but wide apart in the center.  Her short hair was thick, dark and almost looked tousled because it was set in so many different directions.
In pictures promoting the play Sylvia wore a low-cut front with a wrap of sheer elegance doing little to disguise her brazen beauty.

David Belasco has novelized the play in a superb manner. The book we have is a first edition 5 X 6 hardback, replete with black and white pictures taken from the play. October of 1911 was the release date. It was presented to us by Carol Smith from Mena, Arkansas and has been in her family for many years.

Browzer Books, that's us, has completely reset the book before you and has added certain enhancements that render this a brand new 2009 publication. It truly is one of the many free books that are priceless that we so proudly offer. ALL RIGHTS ARE RESERVED for this edition.
