20153One of the last of the singing cowboys known as "Mister Cowboy" and "The Arizona Cowboy" Allen starred in cowboy films of the 1950s and is credited with composing 300 songs among them "Crying in the Chapel" 1953. Uncommon glossy oversize IPS heavy stock 16" X 20" Kankakee IL 1961. Very good. Image is superb and unflawed but ink contrast is good only. Handsome head-and-shoulders closeup of a smiling Allen in plaid shirt scarf and white ten-gallon hat inscribed enormously in the light area above his hat in blue ballpoint: "To Donald / My Best Always / Rex Allen / 1961 / 'Kankakee.'" Very attractive and unusual despite mediocre ink contrast -- likely created for some cryptic promotional purpose but it bears no photographer's credit or other identifications recto or verso. Choice vintage piece probably one of a kind in this large format. Striking display item. unknown
20976Queen Anne's physician in ordinary 1705-14 is better known as a close friend of Swift Gay and Pope with whom he founded the Scriblerus Club; among his many political pamphlets was "The History of John Bull" 1727 which created the stereotype of John Bull the typical Englishman. Signature and salutation clipped from an ALS 1p 4½" X 2¼" n.p. n.y. Near fine. Typical light brown ink. Reads in full: "and I remain / My Dear Sir / Your very trusty / Arbuthnot" on the recto while the verso bears about 19 words in his hand -- obviously an excerpt from a letter. A most attractive example and rather uncommon. unknown
42715The great English actor filmmaker playwright and author won an Academy Award in 1930 for "Disraeli" -- the first Briton to do so -- and is best known for portrayals of this and other historical figures. TLS 1p 7" X 9" London England 21 February 1944. Addressed to "Drucie" Drusilla Pierce a Los Angeles friend. Very good. Faint original folds. On imprinted "George Arliss" letterhead Arliss chats cordially with an old friend noting "that you are fairly well except for your legs. The only advantage you gain is that you are able to get into friendly intercourse with the crossing-cops. You will be glad to know that our London policemen are still wonderful." Of the current London theatre scene he comments: "I know very little about theatrical conditions here because Flo's sight prevents us from going to the theatre. We had one break however when we went to see the Lunts who have made a tremendous success over here. It was certainly a beautiful performance." Signed simply "George" in blue ink. Alfred and Lynn Fontanne opened a production of Robert E. Sherwood's "There Shall Bo No Night" in London's Aldwych Theatre on December 15 1943 and it's no doubt this performance to which Arliss refers. Attractive -- an interesting glimpse into Arliss's life near its end when war and sickness curtailed his activities! unknown

I hope you will like my new novel THE HOUSE OF LEE." Large and bold signature in black ink. Undated but given the "House of Lee" reference likely 1940. unknown

Bowker Company which still exists in 1872 co-founded "Library Journal" which also still exists in 1876 and acquired "Publishers' Weekly" you guessed it in 1879 -- among other lasting bookish and bibliographic endeavors. TLS 1p 5½" X 8½" New York NY 1923 January 17. Addressed to "R.U.J." editor Robert Underwood Johnson 1853-1937. Flowery tribute to his friend on the occasion of Johnson's seventieth birthday. In part: "Certainly your 70 years have been crowded and crowned with honors as Secretary of the American Copyright League whose work will I hope be crowned by our entrance into the International Copyright Union before we pass over to the majority; as Editor of the Century; as Scribe of the Immortals himself immortalized in contiguity; and finally as Ambassador from his beloved country to the land of his love." This last refers to Johnson's 1920-21 term as U.S. ambassador to Italy. An unusual item from one giant in the world of editing to another. unknown

Bryant does not identify it but this is the penultimate stanza from his poem "The Streams of Life" which appears on pages 227-28 of the "Life and Poems" volume published the year before he penned this excerpt. From the collection of University of Chicago geology professor Albert Johannsen 1871-1962 author of "The House of Beadle and Adams and Its Dime and Nickel Novels" 1950 the definitive reference work on the subject. Johannsen's original 8½" X 11" file folder bearing his printed "Collection of Albert Johannsen" label partly filled in by Johannsen accompanies this item. unknown
