First edition; 9 x 6; pp. 4; salmon-colored stock printed and illustrated in black; a few small nicks to edges; several old creases to margins; in very good condition. The Unique Theatre situated at 629 S. Broadway in Los Angeles opened its doors sometime in early 1903 under the proprietorship of Flora Hentz and John Zalee. Known as pioneers of "popular-priced vaudeville" in Southern California they also had a "Unique-O-Scope" which ran movies at the theater. Interestingly enough among the listed performances the program also highlighted several features of the building itself. Asbestos fire curtains fireproof scenery and automatic sprinklers were followed by a sketch of the floor and the assertion that per the Unique's efforts ".against fires and panics.the entire eighty feet of width of the building back of the stage can upon a moment's notice be opened up to the sidewalk and full width of the street running back to the Theatre thus insuring complete safety of all patrons of the Unique." The program contained several advertisements for local businesses as well including one for the Imperial Perfume Company stating that the theater was perfumed every day by the latter. The theater was moved to a new location in 1909 and its building was demolished. By the Proprietors unknown books

1914116858London: William Heinemann 1914. Octavo pp. 1-8 1 2-311 312: blank original olive green cloth stamped in gold. First edition. Twenty-four stories. Steel brought up in Scotland married an official in the Indian Civil Service and spent twenty-two years in the Punjab teaching herself the language and holding office as Inspectress of Girls' Schools. She became known as an author and translator of folk and fairy tales for children and of novels for adults that combined an interest in Indian culture with a respect for imperial values as well. "The Birth of Fire" is a weird story about a fire worshipper. "A Maiden's Prayer" concerns Kali worship and a Tantric cult. "The supernaturalism of Hindu and Muslim customs and beliefs wafts through Steel's stories like an incense; a fantastic atmosphere clings to them whether they are objectively supernatural or not; indeed the uncertainty itself is part of the atmosphere. The author's knowledge of religious and occult lore is put to use neither sentimentally nor sensationally but with a more genuine sense of both humor and horror. Her work deserves a closer look by genre enthusiasts than it has yet received." - Robert Eldridge. Spine panel tanned some mild tanning and foxing to pages early and late small worm holes to margins of last few leaves a very good copy. #116858 William Heinemann unknown books
