Though her works are virtually forgotten today the prestigious Braithwaite anthology listed five of her poems among the nation's best published in 1917 and the New York Times hailed her first novel as a 'feat of literary composition.' Her output was stunning. In addition to seven books she produced voluminous poetry short stories plays and reams of sparkling conversation-nearly four million words between 1913 and 1937.

191922594ENew York: George H. Doran 1919. First Edition. Signed and inscribed by the author / actress Pearl White on the half-title: “To ‘Nils’ Just me as I really am Pearlâ€. Front hinge split and starting to the interior with overall handling edge wear dust soiling to the cloth and some spotting without dust jacket. The memoirs of Pearl Fay White 1889 – 1938 who rose to popularity as an actress on the stage screen given the nickname the ‘Queen of the Serials’ most notably as the spirited ingenue / heroine in The Perils of Pauline which catapulted her into international stardom. Some of her other notable films include The Exploits of Elaine The House of Hate and The Lightning Raider. Sadly Ms. White was unable to find success in feature films and retired from acting in 1923. She was married twice - first to actor Victor Sutherland 1907 - 1914 then to actor Wallace McCutcheon 1919 - 1921. Pearl White's place in film history is important in both the evolution of cinema genres and the role of women in the film industry and she has been honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Tragically many of her films are officially considered to be lost. The 1947 film The Perils of Pauline is a fictionalized biography of Pearl White starring Betty Hutton as White with John Lund Billy De Wolfe William Demarest and Constance Collier. George H.

Leaf between pp 241 and 294 reads: "Chapter V of this report as well as the conclusions based there which related to Colonel Wyman have been omitted in accordance with the statement of the Secretary of War dated August 29 1945." Toning and mild soiling to wrappers rear wrapper detached but present; contents clean and sound. Advance issue of the first report on how the disaster at Pearl Harbor unfolded and why the United States was caught unprepared. The members of the Board were General George Grunert Major Henry D. Russell Major Walter H. Frank Colonel Charles W. West Colonel Harry A. Toulmin and Major Henry C. Clausen. They were appointed to "ascertain and report facts relating to the attack made by Japanese Armed Forces upon the territory of Hawaii on 7 December 1941" and much of the evidence they gathered is presented here. Among their conclusions: The attack on Pearl Harbor "was daring well-conceived and well-executed and caught the defending forces practically unprepared to meet it or to minimize its destructiveness." The extent of the disaster was due to the failure of the Commanding General of the Hawaiian Department to alert his command for war and to the War Department for failing to keep him apprised of developments in U.S.-Japanese negotiations. The report also names serveral individuals in positions of authority and details their errors and failures most of which relate to inadequate communication to subordinates resulting in a failure to act and lack of preparedness. unknown books
