A Celebration of Moss Hart - University of Southern California, 12 April 1970

[Los Angeles]: Friends of the Libraries. Very Good+. 1970. First Edition. Stapled wraps. [nice clean copy with only minor edgewear to covers, some minor discoloration to the front cover]. (B&W photo frontispiece) 43-page booklet, a transcript of a tribute to the memory of playwright Moss Hart (1904-1961) at USC. There was quite a star-studded list of participants, although listed here are only those who are well-represented in the transcript: Julie Andrews, Bennett Cerf, George Cukor, Laurence Harvey, Gregory Peck, Irving Paul (Swifty) Lazar, Garson Kanin, Danny Kaye, Kirk Douglas, Louis Jourdan, Alan Jay Lerner, Frederick Loewe, and Kitty Carlisle Hart. One of the highlights of the evening was a group reminiscence of the production of Hart's 1943 play "Winged Victory," in which a dozen members of the original cast participated, among them John Forsythe, Kevin McCarthy, Edmond O'Brien, Martin Ritt, and Don Taylor. .
