Description
Moscow & Leningrad, 1925. First edition. Very Good +. Original pictorial wrappers stapled at spine. Light rubbing to rear wrap. Internally tight and overall clean, spine reinforced, and small paper repairs to the front and rear wrappers, and to the margins of pages 10 and 12 not affecting text. This rare work in Russian has appeared only six times at auction, the most recent being in 2008. Rand's first published work, which was produced in Russia under the name A. Rosenbaum, "this monograph was part of a series about movie stars, which included booklets on Mary Pickford and Max Linder. Rand's examination of the 'atypical' Negri, with her 'mysterious contemptuous smile'--a trait found in nearly all of Rand's protagonists -- celebrates the actress's screen persona as 'the strong, powerful woman,' the 'proud woman-conqueror...[who is] powerful even in her suffering.' Rand sounds familiar themes in extolling Negri's concentration of 'her whole life...in her artistic endeavors.' As the embodiment of 'power, the eternal, unconquerable power of a woman,' Negri 'portrays the woman victorious.' For the young Rand, the actress seems to have encapsulated a nascent feminist ideal, one that would reappear in Kira Arounova of We the Living and Dagny Taggart of Atlas Shrugged" (Sciabarra). In this sense, Pola Negri was more than Rand's first appearance in print. The book was the space where she located and developed the model for the most influential characters to appear in her later works. Swann lot 259 (sale 1929). Provenance: From the private collection of Jay T. Snider. Very Good +.

Description
Various. No binding. Near Fine. New York: Various, ca. 1970s. Set of 10 vintage original black-and-white glossy silver gelatin photos, two of which are double weight. Overall near fine. Jackie Curtis (1947–1985) was a prominent American underground actor, playwright, singer and poet known as an influential Warhol superstar and a pioneer of NYC's queer avant-garde theater in the 1960s-70s. Often appearing in drag, Curtis wrote and starred in cult plays like Glamour, Glory and Gold (1967) and acted in Warhol films Flesh (1968) and Women in Revolt (1971). Photos are mostly from the early-1970s and include Curtis in and out of drag in several unique portraits; promoting the films Sex, Blood Red Roses and W.R.: Mysteries of the Organism; with friends at a party in Dotson Rader's bathtub; at a Doors party at the Hilton in 1970 and at a nightclub.

Mad Dog" Handwritten Lyrics
Author

Seller
Biblioctopus (United States)
Description
London: [Novasound and Scorpio Studios]. c1975. Original handwritten working manuscript lyrics for the title song from Entwistle's fourth solo album, 61 lines (complete), approximately 300 words in black ink with rewrite of the last stanza in blue ink, on 3pp (8 1/4” x 10 1/4"), rectos only, with deletions, corrections, changes, and additions. Three tiny chips and tears at blank edges, else near fine. Toned, with some chips to the edges. "Mad Dog" represents Entwistle's continued exploration of narrative songwriting outside The Who's collaborative framework, a fun 50s rock revival piece that tells of a love triangle that culminates in murder. The song appeared on Mad Dog (1975), an album distinguished more by its ensemble (including Joe Walsh, Graham Nash, and members of Faces and Humble Pie) than by its material, which marked a creative plateau in Entwistle's solo career between the experimental ambition of earlier releases and later commercial attempts. The working manuscript documents his compositional process through visible revisions and the shift from black to blue ink for the final stanza's rewrite, preserving the iterative development of his darkly comic narrative voice.
