Title: MARLENE DIETRICH, SIDNEY TOLER | BLONDE VENUS (1932) Photo
Author: Paramount
Seller: Walterfilm, Inc. (United States)
Condition: About Fine
Description: Paramount. No binding. About Fine. [Los Angeles: Paramount, 1932]. Vintage original 8 x 10" (20 x 25 cm.) black-and-white glossy silver gelatin photo. There are light signs of use at blank corners, about fine. Marlene Dietrich was the true writer of the screenplay for this opus which took her from wealth to ruin to rags to fame to wealth again. The censors crossed out so much of her material (even in the pre-Code period) that by the time a final script was approved, she and director/mentor Joseph von Sternberg had little interest in making the film. They came through, though, with a brilliant odyssey highlighted by Dietrich in many moods, all behind heavy diffusion. Here is Dietrich as the down-and-out vagrant Helen Faraday, with Sidney Toler as the detective on her trail. Photo coded 1385-87.

He was the first writer to adapt the short story Madame Butterfly for the stage. He launched the theatrical career of many actors, including James O'Neill, Mary Pickford, Lenore Ulric and Barbara Stanwyck. Belasco pioneered many innovative new forms of stage lighting and special effects in order to create realism and naturalism.

Title: Society of Colorado Pioneers, First Annual Banquet and Re-Union, at The "Windsor", Denver, January 25th, 1881
Author: [Menu – Society of Colorado Pioneers (Denver, Col.)]
Seller: Rabelais - Fine Books on Food & Drink (United States)
Description: Denver: [publisher not identified], 1881. Menu and program (16 x 9 cm.), two separate cards, printed versos and rectos, [4] pages. Illustrated. Printed menu and program of the Society's first annual banquet held January 25, 1881, at the Windsor Hotel. The Society of Colorado Pioneers was founded in 1872 to recognize and assist those who had arrived in Colorado earlier than 1861, which effectively meant during the three-year period (1858 through 1861) when Colorado was still part of the Kansas territory. The menu is really two menus, one an imagined menu featuring the "Grub" experienced by those arriving in 1859, which included beans, bacon, hard tack, dried apples, and "Taos Lightning". The spirit was a high proof whiskey which distilled in New Mexico starting around 1830, and laden with tall tales. It was said that "Taos Lightning would take the hair off a chihuahua". The much lengthier menu for the dinner consumed that January night in 1881 included raw oysters, mock turtle soup, a larded filet of trout, glazed sweetbreads, quail, etc. The table was bedecked with ornamental pieces depicting scenes of Denver's Western heritage, including The First House in Denver, a Wagon Train, and Indian Teepees. Each card includes a wood engraving printed on one side. The menu card depicts a prospector driving his mule "Over the Range"; the program card shows two riders leading a wagon drawn by six head of cattle, titled "The Sleeper We Came On," both are credited "J.D. Howland, Del. [delineavit] and J.M. Bagley, Eng". John Dare Howland (1843-1914) is often referred to as Denver's first resident artist, and James M.Bagley, born in Maine, (1837 -1910), "the first artist, wood engraver, and cartoonist in Denver". Complete details of the banquet reported in the Rocky Mountain News on January 26, 1881, page 4. Small stain and a bit of other light soil to the menu card; program card is clean. Together, near fine. [OCLC locates one copy of the program only (Denver Public Library; one copy of the menu and program are held by UNLV[.

LYRICS OF THE HEARTHSIDE by Dunbar, Paul Laurence

Title: LYRICS OF THE HEARTHSIDE
Author: Dunbar, Paul Laurence
Seller: Sumner & Stillman (United States)
Description: 1899. New York: Dodd, Mead and Company, 1899. Original olive-green cloth decorated and embossed in gilt. First Edition of this early title by this African-American poet whose parents, before they met, had both been Kentucky slaves; his father escaped to Canada, and wound up fighting in the Civil War for the Massachusetts 55th Regiment; his mother escaped to Ohio. Dunbar was born and raised in Dayton, where at Central High School (Class of 1890) he would be the only black student, the president of the literary society, and the editor of the school newspaper; one of his classmates was Orville Wright who, shortly after his mother died, would drop out of school before graduating -- to devote time to his fledgling printing business, and then (1892) to his and brother Wilbur's new bicycle business. Dunbar's first book (published as a favor by Orville's father) came out in 1893; by the time this book came out, he was already ill with the tuberculosis that would claim his life seven years later, at age 33. As with many of his books, some of the verse is in proper English -- for which Dunbar wished he would be known -- and some is in "black dialect" -- for which he was widely known and praised. One of the former type is "Sympathy," which ends with the line "I know why the caged bird sings!" -- from which came (many decades later) the title of Maya Angelou's first book. Despite his intellect, Dunbar's race dictated that he could find work only as an elevator operator (where he tried to sell his volumes of verse to passengers); in this line he was referring to himself in his elevator cage. Included is a frontispiece photograph of the poet; the binding design, in matte and embossed gilt, is by Alice Morse (so initialed). This copy is in near-fine condition (minor rubbing at the extremities, spine gilt less than bright, Christmas 1907 endpaper inscription). Blanck 4925.

Author: [Wolcott, Oliver]
Seller: David M. Lesser, Fine Antiquarian Books LLC (United States)
Description: [Philadelphia: Ross, 1798. 8pp, as issued. Disbound, blank inner margins toned, else Very Good. "The memorialists represent, that the distance of the port of Philadelphia from the sea, and the casualties to which vessels are exposed in the winter season, have rendered it necessary to erect and maintain piers in different parts of the river Delaware." The expense of maintaining the piers, particularly avoiding their decay, prompts this request for Congress to authorize and fund necessary repairs. Secretary Wolcott advises, "The proposed piers will be useful to foreign vessels, and to American vessels from all the States." He hence recommends that "an appropriation for erecting piers in the river Delaware, below Philadelphia, not exceeding sixty thousand dollars, ought to be made." Evans 34866. ESTC W13468.
