A screenplay of Dance, Fools, Dance
Mimeographed manuscript, 134pp, dated October 31, 1930 on the front wrapper, housed in a beige MGM studio wrapper, bound by two brads. The front wrapper reads "'DANCE, FOOLS, DANCE / Adaptation by Aurania Rouverol / Dialogue by Aurania Rouverol / Continuity by Richard Schayer" and is stamped "FILE COPY" twice, "COMPLETE" once, and "1811" once. There is also an MGM Script Department sticker on the wrapper with the title, date, the number "18759," and a note: "Please return to Script Dept." There are several numbers penciled in on the cover: "B1811", "#19", and "MGM / 128". There is a "Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer / Radio Attractions" address label stuck to the spine with the film's title typed in the blank space where the addressee's address would go.
Dance, Fools, Dance is a risque pre-Code gangster/newspaper drama starring a young Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, and William Holden. It was the first of Gable and Crawford's eight films together, and was also Rouverol's first produced screenplay. Rouverol was the creator of the beloved Andy Hardy and his family.
