A Vintage English Hardcover Book (measures 4 1/4" x 6 3/4" [11 x 17 cm]; 240 pages) (Learn More) Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments, the classic 1923 Cecil B. DeMille silent religious Biblical epic ("The mightiest dramatic spectacle of all the ages"; "Story by Jeanie MacPherson") starring Theodore Roberts (as Moses), Rod La Rocque, Leatrice Joy, Nita Naldi, Charles De Roche (as Rameses), Estelle Taylor, Julia Faye, Terrence Moore, and Richard Dix. Note that in this, Cecil B. DeMille's first version of this movie, the movie is essentially split into two parts, one that is "modern" (set in 1923), and the other with the Biblical portion. Of course, DeMille remade the movie in 1959 with Charlton Heston in the lead role, and it was solely the Biblical portion that he used when he re-made the movie.

Important Added Info: Note that this is the Readers Library Publishing Company photoplay edition in its original dust jacket (one of a collection of such books we are auctioning in this set of auctions). Here are some more details about these books: this company (like Grosset & Dunlap) was a publisher that made a deal with some studios to publish "movie edition" hardcovers of novels that were currently adapted into movies. They would republish the original novel as the movie came out (or soon after), and they would put a dust jacket on the book that showed the stars of the movie, and they would include several pages of images from the movie scattered in the book. These books were incredibly popular in the 1920s and 1930s. Note that we have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Because we know that the dust jacket is an important part of the value of this book, we also pictured the entire dust jacket opened up. Between that image and our other images, you should be able to get a good sense of the overall condition of this book. Condition: good. Learn More about condition grades
