"Born in Annapolis, Maryland, James Thorne Smith had a brief but prolific career as a best-selling comic novelist. He began his working years as an advertising copy-writer, but soon turned to fiction writing. He joined the U.S. Navy in 1917 and worked as an editor and writer for The Broadside, a newspaper for enlisted men. His stories about an inept serviceman, Biltmore Oswald, became wildly popular among the magazine's readers. After the war, he moved to Greenwich Village, where he became friends with writers such as Sinclair Lewis and had a brief affair with Dorothy Parker. He continued to work in advertising while trying to succeed as a poet. After marrying in 1919, he and his wife frequently visited the experimental community of Free Acres in nearby New Jersey. In 1926, he achieved sudden literary stardom when his comic supernatural novel Topper was published to great success." (Harry Ransom Center). "The Night Life of the Gods (1931) depicts the unrestrainable debauchery of the gods of classical mythology that is unleashed when statues in the Metropolitan Museum of Art are brought to life... In 1933 Smith also traveled to Hollywood to write dialogue for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. His own novels became the basis for a number of screenplays. Night Life of the Gods appeared in 1935, directed by Lowell Sherman for Universal Studios." (American Dictionary of National Biography). This story after being turned into a movie was also the inspiration for other Hollywood films including Night at the Museum. HBS 68785. $1,250.

Title: Working Conditions in the District of Columbia. Transcript of a speech given by the Honorable Virginia E. Jenckes as printed in the Congressional Record
Author: Jenckes, Virginia E.
Seller: Kurt A. Sanftleben (United States)
Condition: Very good
Description: Washinington, DC, 1937. Unbound. Very good. One-page handbill (approximately 9" x 11.5") formatted to appear like a page from the Congressional Record. Storage folds, some beginning to split at the margin. Clean with some light toning. This handbill provides the text of Jenckes's speech in the House of Representatives on 6 December 1937 advocating for a Union Shop to be imposed upon the Woodward & Lothrop Department Store in Washington, DC in lieu of the long-established Company Union that represented its workers. In the speech, she additionally complained that Painter's Union No. 368, who wished to represent the workers, was unable to get newspaper coverage because Woodies was one of the largest advertising buyers in the District. Jenckes was the first female from Indiana to serve in the U.S. House of Representative. She was elected to the position in 1933 and held the position until she was defeated for re-election in 1938. The National Women's History Museum notes that "A Democrat, her reputation among farmers led to her victory in the landslide election of 1932. . . . Her election, however was truly extraordinary: because of re-districting, she had to defeat incumbents in both the Democratic primary and the general election. With her daughter driving the car, she traveled the rural Sixth District and rallied farm families to her side." After she was defeated in 1938, Jenckes continued to live in Washington, DC and worked for the American Red Cross. Her efforts, however, on behalf of Painter's Union No. 368 were to no avail. Woodies employees remained content with their Company Union for the next 37 years until finally opting to join Retail Store Employees Union Local 400 in 1970.
