Title: The Convert
Author: [Suffrage] [Reproductive Rights] Robins, Elizabeth
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Description: London: Methuen, 1907. First UK edition. Original publisher's cloth binding with gilt to spine and front board. Measuring 185 x 125mm and collating complete including publisher's catalogue to rear: [4], 359, [1, blank], 40. Sunning and staining to spine, with some rippling to rear board; hinges starting but holding well. Early ownership inscription of Halstow Rd. School to front endpaper; contemporary ownership signature of D. Davis to rear endpaper. Foxing to fore-edge of closed textblock and scattered throughout. A scarce feminist novel, OCLC reports 13 copies with U.S. libraries; excepting the present copy, this edition has only appeared once at auction (1978). The Convert, written by American actress, novelist, and suffragist Elizabeth Robins, is a testament to the trans-Atlantic sisterhood of the period's women's rights activists. Based on her "hugely successful play Votes for Women!, which advocated militancy as the only means of achieving female suffrage...many of the scenes are taken directly from actual suffrage meetings, including verbatim quotes from hostile men and rousing speeches by suffragettes who stood up for their principles, at great personal risk" (Godfrey). A correspondent of Christabel and Emmeline Pankhurst, Robins donated a portion of proceeds to their militant WSPU as well as to Millicent Fawcett's more diplomatic NUWSS. Centering its plot on Vida Levering, a society beauty who is converted to activism by working class women around her, the novel uses melodrama in order to critique it. Vida's early weakness in response to the changing world is not altered by the love of a man, but by a no-nonsense and driven sisterhood. And the deep secret of her life -- an early, unmarried pregnancy and abortion -- does not function as the Victorian plot-twist of her undoing; rather, it is the leverage she uses "to gain the political support of her ex-lover, the rising Tory politician Geoffrey Stonor" (Godfrey). The Convert ultimately functions both as a call to suffrage activism as well as to a broader effort "to create new roles for women outside those of wives and sweethearts...Focusing on the taboo issues of abortion and unmarried motherhood," Robins developed a new narrative of the "fallen woman," one that considers "how childlessness is both necessary and problematic for a suffrage heroine" (Liggins).

Title: EVERY NIGHT AT EIGHT | WRAP PARTY FT. CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD ELITE (1935) Photo
Author: Paramount
Seller: Walterfilm, Inc. (United States)
Condition: About Fine
Description: Paramount. No binding. About Fine. [Los Angeles: Paramount Pictures, 1935]. Vintage original 8 x 11"" (20 x 28 cm.) black-and-white double weight glossy silver nitrate keybook photo. Minor wear at bottom left edge, keybook holes at left edge, about fine. Independent film producer Walter Wanger throws a wrap party at the completion of his Paramount-released musical Every Night at Eight, on the film's nightclub set and likely on the last day of principal photography; it is rare to find photos showing such events. His stars Alice Faye, Frances Langford, George Raft and director Raoul Walsh are joined by (left-to-right): - Henry Fonda (who was placed under contract to Wanger in 1935 after Broadway success, and was just finishing his first film The Farmer Takes a Wife); - Gail Patrick (Paramount contract player who was appearing in Wanger's Smart Girl at the time); - Walter Wanger (producer of the film); - Alice Faye (who was on loan from Fox Pictures to star in Wanger's film. She is still in costume); - Ida Lupino (who was appearing in, and is in costume and makeup for, Wanger's production Smart Girl); - William Wellman (well-known director, writer and producer seemingly between projects); - Alison Skipworth (in costume for The Devil is a Woman); - Frances Langford (making her feature film debut and debuting her signature song ""I'm In the Mood for Love"". Her costume matches that of Alice Faye); - George Raft (lead star of the film and Paramount contract player); - Joan Bennett (who would be married to Wanger between 1940-65 and who was appearing in numerous Paramount films in 1935); - Raoul Walsh (director of the film); - Bert Hanlon (though the verso identifies him as Harry Holman -- the character actor who appeared in over 20 films in 1935 alone including uncredited in this film -- it is incorrect. This is composer, songwriter, actor, author and director Bert Hanlon, who wrote dialogue for this film). The party took place in late-June 1935 at General Service Studio, Hollywood, CA. Ink stamped by the Hollywood Advertising Council, June 26, 1935.

A highly presentable signed first edition of this nationally bestselling and achingly beautiful story of female friendship, betrayal, and a mysterious disappearance set in the changing landscape of San Francisco. ABOUT WE RUN THE TIDES: New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice Teenage Eulabee and her magnetic best friend, Maria Fabiola, own the streets of Sea Cliff, their foggy oceanside San Francisco neighborhood. They know Sea Cliff's homes and beaches, its hidden corners and eccentric characters--as well as the upscale all-girls' school they attend. One day, walking to school with friends, they witness a horrible act--or do they? Eulabee and Maria Fabiola vehemently disagree on what happened, and their rupture is followed by Maria Fabiola's sudden disappearance--a potential kidnapping that shakes the quiet community and threatens to expose unspoken truths. Suspenseful and poignant, We Run the Tides is Vendela Vida's masterful portrait of an inimitable place on the brink of radical transformation. Pre-tech boom San Francisco finds its mirror in the changing lives of the teenage girls at the center of this story of innocence lost, the pain of too much freedom, and the struggle to find one's authentic self. Told with a gimlet eye and great warmth, We Run the Tides is both a gripping mystery and a tribute to the wonders of youth, in all its beauty and confusion.
