035114Book. Very Good. Ruth Roland was called "Queen of the Thriller Serials" due in large part to her portrayal of Pearl Marvin in a dozen films from the Perils of Pauline series. She performed a number of her own stunts in those films to the detriment of her health. Her screen credits ran to more than 200 but her popularity sharply declined with the coming of sound films. She starred in two sound features prior to her untimely death in 1937 from cancer. She was married to the actor Ben Bard from 1929 until her death. Ben Bard likewise was a familiar presence on the silent screen. He carried on acting after Roland passed with his final role coming in 1955. He died in 1974. These letters and the accompanying photo provide a window on Rolands late years including the esteem female fans held her in and her connection to a pair of prominent figures in Catherine McNelis and Hugh Weir later controversial as well in McNeliss case. This is a small trove of material illustrating the fortunes of a silent film great as she struggled to acclimate herself to a changing industry. In 1980 UCLA acquired C.1933 Rolands nitrate film collection. As recently as 2023 they screened one of those films Dollar Down for Silent Movie Day. Letters 1930-33; Photograph undated Three letters one of 2pp a second 2pp in length and the third a single page with a Photostat newspaper article as second page. Toning to pages. Wear to edges of Gooding and Roland letters. Photo crisp and bright. TLS 9/15/30 from Hattie Gooding to Ruth Roland Fan letter from Gooding to Roland lamenting what she sees as an unwelcome sophistication in movies of the day. I confess to a primitive yearning to be able once more to hiss the villain and to hang my handkerchief once more on the seat in front of me to dry out after the golden curly haired maiden swears to her mother that she will never forget her teaching and goes out into the cruel world to earn enough to save the old homestead. She goes on to implore Roland to return to the screen and "give us some more hair raising episodes" as Rolands career effectively ended with the rise of sound films. Shed been the "Queen of the Thriller Serials" which makes her career trajectory all the more striking. Of her 227 screen credits only the final two were sound films the final coming the year before her untimely death in 1937. That swan song was From Nine to Nine a forgettable effort despite the fact it was written and directed by Edgar G. Ulmer. Gooding was an early advertising and publicity agent in St Louis. The letterhead here mentions her profession. The tension between Goodings call for Roland to return to the screen in more melodramatic circumscribed roles is a neat microcosm of the tension in her own life; she was a successful businesswoman shed run an agency of her own since 1910 yet didnt support suffrage for women. A fascinating fan letter from a successful businesswoman of the period to a once-celebrated star of the silent screen. ALS 11/28/30 from Bobbie Barrett to Ruth Roland 2pp in purple ink. On Bobbie Barretts letterhead with gilt Bobbie in stylized capital letters in upper left corner of each page. Barrett recounts seeing Rolands serials as a child adding "I have walked thirteen blocks often in sleet and often during snow storms to see a Ruth Roland picture!" She goes on to suggest Roland re-film some of her greatest hits naming The Timber Queen in particular. She reassures Roland that the people who grew up on her serials have not forgotten here and will not forget her. Give me sound serials for 1931 please Miss Roland she concludes. Another heartfelt account of Rolands screen presence and the wish of a contingency of fans to see her reclaim her former glory in the emergent world of talkies. Intriguing contemporaneous look at the tensions and challenges facing stars like Roland who so often failed to adapt their talents to the changing medium. ALS undated. Presumed 1933.

Reviewing the exhibition and accompanying catalog for The New York Times Roberta Smith wrote: "the magazine which took its title from William Blake was one of the few that 'took visual art as seriously as literature.' It was also an eccentric mom-and-pop operation put together with love sophistication and a fair amount of attitude as well as Ruth's money. Her family owned Walgreen's.'"

021713Author Published; 1938. First Edition . Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. Very good in blue cloth covered boards with black lettering on the spine and front board. Cloth is worn at tips and spine ends and the blue color is faded mainly on the front board and spine. The book has seven photographs and in this copy all have been removed and attached into a small booklet with a piece of scotch tape. There are also two copies of a photograph of Bob Wills same size as the photos from the book which may have been meant to be a frontispiece the page facing the title page reads: "Portrait of Bob Wills May Either Be Framed Or Pasted Here". The front hinge is cracked and the half title page is still attached but loosely so. On the front pastedown in Bob Wills' hand is written "From/Bob Wills/To" then in a different hand is written "Dorothy White". The front endpaper is signed by 17 members of the Texas Playboys list to follow. A stamp on the title page reads: "Presented on Occasion of Tulsa Chamber of Commerce Open Forum Honoring Bob Wills February 14 1941". The signatures in order from top to bottom are as follows: Everett Stover C. Dennenfelser L. D. House Tommy Duncan Lewis Tierney "Son" Cag Lansford Bob Wills' cousin Leon McAuliffe Jamie "Mac" McIntosh Don Harlan Wayne Johnson Gene Tomlins Robert Zeb McNally Tubby Lewis Eldon Shamblin Al Stricklin Hoopie McCray Darrell Jones. Some of the signers were long-time members of the Texas Playboys others may have been more temporary. But all signatures were almost certainly obtained at the 1941 Chamber event when Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys were at the height of their popularity being broadcast over Tulsa radio station KVOO and playing regularly at Cain's Ballroom also in Tulsa. <br/> <br/> Author Published; (1938) hardcover

Yellow and green endpapers. Signed by Sam Francis Connie Lembark George Page and Jacob Samuel.<br /> <br /> "Sam Francis was the first of the postwar American painters to reach international recognition. He had gone to Paris on the GI Bill in 1950 and his work was soon receiving growing acclaim in Europe and Japan as well as the United States. His highly personal style of spontaneous immediate application of paint to canvas and paper gave rise to a new French term which was soon internationalized: "Tachisme" in effect the art of spots and stains. Through the slowly evolving styles of Francis's work in the intervening decades his art has been characterized by controlled accidents carefully contained within the highly personal imagery he created. The Prints of Sam Francis catalogues and fully documents every work in the graphic media by this master printmaker including nearly 300 lithographs and 125 etchings. Also featured are the screen prints posters a series of self-portraits that have never before been published and rare variants of many works."
