Devant, David. My Magic Life. London: Hutchinson & Co., 1931. Maroon cloth, spine lettered and ruled in gilt. Portrait frontispiece of Devant. Plates. 8vo. Klosterman bookplate. Very good condition. Inscribed and signed in ink on the half-title ?To Sidney Oldrige / with loving regards / David.? The inscription is not in Devant?s hand; the autograph is. Inscribed and signed copies of Devant?s books are uncommon; by the time they were published, he had retired from the stage and was suffering from a degenerative illness, most likely Parkinson?s.
