Description
Universal. No binding. Near Fine. [Los Angeles]: Universal Pictures, 1931. Vintage original 8 x 10" (20 x 25 cm.) black-and-white double weight glossy silver gelatin photo. Some rippling caused by attached paper blurb. Near fine. Two original paper blurbs on verso describe the fashions she models in publicizing the film Gambling Daughters. There is a Ray Jones photographer ink stamp and Screen Play Secrets ink stamp, with handwritten information including dates of 1/28/31 and March 28, 1931. This fashion portrait was taken of Bette Davis soon after her arrival in Hollywood and is one of the earliest known professional images of the soon-to-become queen of the screen. It is for her very first film, originally titled What a Flirt, then (as this photo blurb describes) Gambling Daughters, but was finally released as Bad Sister. Supremely unsure of herself and her appearance, she would learn the ropes in supporting roles at Universal for a year and then move on to the greener pastures at Warner Brothers the next year. Still, even with her unsureness she appears as strong and defiant as ever in this Ray Jones portrait. Photo hand-coded BDF 9.

Description
New York: Dodd, Mead and Company, 1924. New Edition. Cloth. Near fine/good. Inscribed to Congressman Nicholas Longworth and his wife, Alice Roosevelt Longworth, New Edition of The Need of Change by Julian Street.. Octavo, 79pp. Red cloth, title stamped in black. Originally published in 1909, this reissued volume was published in 1924. Clean text throughout, sound text block. In the publisher's dust jacket, loss at spine, closed tears to both covers. Includes laid-in photograph. Inscription reads: "For Senator & Mrs. Longworth, a piece of fooling, written fifteen years ago - Julian Street. Washington, April, 1924." The author of this book, Julian Leonard Street (1878-1947), was an American writer and reporter for the New York Mail and Express. The recipient, Speaker of the House Nicholas Longworth (1869-1931), served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1903-1913 and 1915-1931. The inscription to "Senator Longworth" may have been an error, since Longworth was a congressman at the time of this dedication. Nicholas Longworth married Alice Lee Roosevelt, the daughter of Theodore Roosevelt, in 1906. He died unexpectedly in 1931, while serving as Speaker of the House.

New York: Penguin Books, 1999. Second printing. Paperback. As NEW. 311pp. 23 cm. in multicolored wrappers (sepia-toned pictorial front cover, orange and black backstrip, lime green rear cover). New. Introduction by Leslie Scalapino. Edited by Michael Rothenberg. Philip Whalen played a key role in the explosive poetic revolution of the fifties and sixties, and, like his college roommate Gary Snyderm took both poetry and zen seriously. An original troubadour and thinker-- confidant and ally to Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and Michael McClure-- he is celebrated for his wisdom, honesty, daring, and good humor.
