Mass Market Paperback. Fair. heavy edge wear, heavy creasing and cover wear, pages foxed/tanned; Scholastic TK 1034 1st printing; When seventeen-year-old Betty moves from her Chicago home to a New York suburb, she has the confidence of a pretty girl who has always been secure in a clearly defined and comfortable middle-class environment. Aware that she has not yet been in love, she waits eagerly for the attractive and acceptable young man who will come gracefully into the scheme of things and claim her. It is, therefore, with something of a shock that she realizes that she is deeply and enduringly in love with Cliff, a manual worker who has never completed high school, but whose and integrity capture Betty. Everything in her orderly background calls cut, "no," but love's reply is affirmative and the two young people agree that someday (when Cliff has finished high school and his military service and his military service and Betty, college), they will marry. Mary Stolz, whose previous novels for teenagers have marked her as perhaps the most incisive and interesting of novelists for this age group, as usual, writes with poignancy and insight. But despite her skillful characterization of the heroine and her ability to tell a story with force, her resolution of the problem she presents is not convincing, and one finds no reason advanced to convince the reader that the extreme difference in background between her two major characters will not, as they mature, prove an insurmountable obstacle, an obstacle that even skillful fictional handling cannot disguise., Scholastic, 1968, 2, MGM, 1998. Very Good/Very Good. bar code cut out of sleeve for some reason. Otherwise VG tape in sleeve. The third and (to date) last film version of the Edna Ferber/Jerome Kern/Oscar Hammerstein II musical Show Boat falls just short of greatness but is still a whale of a show. Howard Keel and Kathryn Grayson are in fine fettle as irresponsible gambler Gaylord Ravenal and showboat ingenue Magnolia Hawks. The plot adheres closely to the Broadway original making several welcome improvements in the final act (which was always a bit shaky). Magnolia, daughter of showboat impresario Captain Andy (Joe E. Brown) and Parthy Hawkes (Agnes Moorehead), falls head over heels in love with the raffish Ravenal. When the show's leading lady, Julie (Ava Gardner), and leading man, Steve (Robert Sterling), are forced to leave when Julie's mulatto heritage is revealed by disgruntled suitor Pete (Leif Erickson), Magnolia and Gaylord step into the vacant stage roles and score a hit. Eventually, the two are married and for several months are quite happy. After incurring serious gambling losses, however, Gaylord walks out of Magnolia's life never realizing that his wife is expecting a baby. With the help of her former showboat colleagues Ellie and Frank Schultz (Marge and Gower Champion) and a behind-the-scenes assist from the tragic Julie, Magnolia secures work as a Cabaret singer in Chicago. Her new year's eve debut threatens to be a bust until her father Captain Andy quells the rowdy crowd and guides his daughter through a lovely rendition of After the Ball (a Charles K. Harris tune that pops up in every stage version of Show Boat). Magnolia returns to her family, with her daughter Kim in tow. Upon learning from Julie that he has a daughter, Gaylord returns to Magnolia and Kim, setting the stage for a joyous ending. Virtually all of the Kern-Hammerstein songs are retained for this version of Show Boat (though none of the songs specially written for the 1936 film version are heard). These cannot be faulted, nor can MGM's sumptuous production values. Still, the 1951 Show Boat leaves one a bit cold. Perhaps it was the removal of the racial themes that gave the original so much substance (as black stevedore Joe, William Warfield exists only to sing a toned-down version Ol' Man River while Joe's wife Queenie is virtually written out of the proceedings). Also, MGM reneged on its original decision to cast Lena Horne as Julie; the role was recast with Ava Gardner and rewritten with an excess of gooey sentiment). Or perhaps it was the production's factory-like slickness; typical of the film's smoothing out of the original property's rough edges was the casting of Marge and Gower Champion, who are just too darn good to be convincing as the doggedly mediocre entertainers Frank and Ellie. Even so, Show Boat does have Howard Keel and Kathryn Grayson at their peak, not to mention the peerless Joe E. Brown as Captain Andy. And the film was a financial success, enabling MGM to bankroll such future musical triumphs as Singin' in the Rain and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Hal Erickson, Rovi, MGM, 1998, 3, Word Books.
