1887List1935Mitchell 1887. 8vo wraps 82 pp. Tears to wraps partially disbound contents very good good overall. Good. An unrecorded promotional book written about the city of Mitchell four years after its founding and near the end of the Dakota Boom. The introduction states “No apology is needed for the publication at this point of a pamphlet setting forth the advantages of this city and the country tributary thereto… The east is overcrowded with people… the west presents the opposite condition. Business opportunities are plenty. A little money goes a great ways…†The book is illustrated with woodcut illustrations of the scenes and businesses of Mitchell and a map on the rear wrap shows the Chicago Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway for which Mitchell provides a junction of two of the branches. We find no record of this book which overall provides insight into the city’s early history and more broadly is an excellent example of promotional literature of the Dakotas in the period just before statehood. unknown
6367ALEXANDER MITCHELL PALMER 1873-1936. Palmer was the Attorney General of the United States and a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. After a career as a stenographer for the forty-third judicial district of Pennsylvania he practiced law in Stroudsburg before being elected to Congress in 1909. Originally President Wilson offered Palmer the position of Secretary of War but due to Palmers Quaker beliefs in pacifism he declined. Wilson in turn appointed him Alien Property Custodian but then made him Attorney General in 1919. During the First Red Scare he conducted the Palmer Raids a series of controversial actions against suspected radicals and anarchists. In 1920 he was a contender for the Democratic Presidential nomination.TLS. 1pg. June 5 1919. Washington. A typed letter signed A Mitchell Palmer to Miss Mary Patten: Your kind message is deeply appreciated. I am very thankful for the escape of my family and myself and am more determined than ever that if humanly possible the Department of Justice under my administration shall be the means of putting an end forever to these lawless attempts to intimidate and injure if not destroy organized government in this country. Thanking you for your interest. In June 1919 there was a bombing of Palmers home in reaction to the Palmer Raids. The letter has light toning and spotting and is framed. It is in fine condition. A great content letter! unknown

1384Theater Music<br /> <br /> Archive of 1930s-1940s music and theater ephemera <br /> About 4 inches of manuscript material scripts programs sheet music and correspondence much of it heavily annotated. Generally in very good or better condition with some pieces chipped and worn some edge wear and light dust soiling.<br /> <br /> This is a fantastic collection of musical and theater ephemera from the 1930s and 1940s mostly pertaining to actors Averell Harris 1881-1966 and his brother Mitchell Harris 1882-1948 as well as stage director Edward Elsner.<br /> <br /> Averell and Mitchell Harris were the sons of William Harris a well-known Shakespearean actor and manager. Averell made his stage debut as a child in his father's company and was active on Broadway from 1902-1945. He had parts in "The Deacon" 1925 "Four Walls" 1927 "Night Hostess" 1928 "The Tyrant" 1930 and "Errant Lady" 1934 among other roles. In 1939 he was in "Key Largo" and in 1940 he appeared as Max in the hit play "Pal Joey." He also appeared in films including "Too Many Girls" 1940 with Lucille Ball Richard Carlson and Ann Miller "His Woman" 1931 with Gary Cooper and Claudette Colbert and Secrets of a Secretary 1931 with Colbert Betty Lawford and Georges Metaxa. Mitchell Harris was known for "The Sea Wolf" 1930 "Peach O'Reno" 1931 and "Victims of Persecution" 1933.<br /> <br /> Edward Elsner was active on Broadway as a playwright producer director and actor from 1907-1929. He is best known for his work directing "Romeo and Juliet" in 1916 as well as several other productions including "Rich Man Poor Man" "Kiss Me!" "The Wicked Age" and "Veils." A news account from 1903 we found online revealed that he had written dozens of plays before his 21st birthday and received many accolades well before 30. He had also recently signed a five-year contract with Wilbur M. Bates the general representative of Klaw & Erlanger.<br /> <br /> This fantastic lot includes scripts programs correspondence and a large collection of handwritten songs and performance notes. Items of note include:<br /> - a near fine program book for a repertoire of songs played by ship's orchestras aboard White Star Line ships including the Titanic<br /> - a very good plus program for performances of "The Littlest Girl" and "Kitty Comes In" both featuring Mitchell Harris at St. Louis' historic Park Theatre<br /> - several personal letters to women and lovely hand drawn greeting cards<br /> - full script for "The Third House: A Play in Three Acts" by Elsner and Charles F. Towle; typed with copious manuscript annotations. "The Third House" was submitted to the "Catalogue of Copyright Entries" as "A Play in Four Acts" in 1907 making this a presumably early draft. Three brad-bound cloth covered sections all very good or better<br /> - approximately 200 pages of loose typed and handwritten songs and notes many by Averell Harris and "O'Brien"; requires more research.<br /> <br /> Rare musical and theater ephemera. OCLC locates a few institutions with holdings of finished Harris productions but no archival materials. The University of Missouri at Columbia has a few Elsner manuscripts but not "The Third House.". unknown

I think I shall gratify a rational curiosity of my readers however much they may condemn my vanity if I give his reply in full: 'Mr Dear Sir "Though I have a great disinclination in general to be the object of literary oblations and compliments yet in the present instance I have enjoyed your writings with such peculiar relish & been so drawn toward the author by the qualities of head and heart evinced in them that I confess I feel gratified by a dedication over flattering as I may deem it which may serve :it's an outward sign that we are cordially linked together in sympathies & friendship.Ever my dear Sir Yours very truly Washington Irving.'Nov1851. I had been personally presented to Mr. Irving for the first time only a year before under the introduction of my good friend Mr. Clark the veteran Editor of the old Knickerbocker in its palmy days. Thereafter I had met him from time to time and had paid a charming visit to his delightful home of Sunnyside. But it was after the date of the publication of this book & during the summer of 1852 that I saw Mr. Irving more familiarly & came to appreciate more fully that charming bonhomie and geniality in his character which we all recognize so constantly in his writings & if I set down here a few recollections of that pleasant intercourse they will I am sure more than make good the place of the old letter of Dedication & will serve to keep alive the association 1 wish to cherish between my little book & the name of the distinguished author who so kindly showed me his favor. I saw Mr. Irving afterward repeatedly in New York & passed two delightful days at Sunnyside. I can never forget a drive with him upon a crisp autumn morning through Sleepy Hollow and all the notable localities of his neighborhood in the course of which he kindly called my attention in the most unaffected & incidental way to those which had been specially illustrated by his pen & with a rare humor recounted to me some of his boyish adventures among the old Dutch farmers of this region. Most of all it is impossible for me to forget the rare kindliness of his manner his friendly suggestions and the beaming expression of his eye. I met it last at the little stile from which I strolled away to the station at Deamian; and when I saw the kind face again it was in the coffin at the little church where he attended service." ; a near FINE copy with a very few marks slight foxing scarce important 19th century American popular fiction.
