The Vegetable, or From President to Postman

A US-only true first: Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, April 1923. No contemporaneous British edition was published, so there is no UK/US precedence question — this is one of the few Fitzgerald 'A' items with a single claimant. It is Fitzgerald's only published play, and the book precedes the play's stage life (the Atlantic City tryout came in November 1923), so the book text is the first appearance. Modern reprints of the play are first thus and carry a different copyright page; the "Published April, 1923" line under the Scribner seal is the only first-printing test. The census claim (US-only first, Scribner's 1923) is confirmed as stated.
