GRONOWICZ, ANTONI:
GARBO: HER STORY.
<p>UK8vo HBdw/djillustrated1st edn. NMINT/NMINT. No owner inscrptn and no price-clip to dw/dj. Cream dw/dj with superimposed b/w subject's facial photograph to upper and lower wraps. Miniscule creasing to headfoot of spine/backstrip. Topfore-edges and contents pristine. Grey paper-covered boards with blocked black ink letters to spine/backstrip and plain cream endpapers. UK8vo HBdw/dj illustrated1st edn13-476pp paginated includes b/w photograph double-page title page a Prologue 53pp b/w photographs; an Afterword by Richard Schickel film critic and an Index.<br />'What she had you couldn't see with the naked eye. It was something in her eyes something behind them that could reach out and tell the audience what she was thinking.' - Clarence Brown her director in seven films. Behind that most exquisite of faces was always a mystery. In this extraordinary book - withheld until after her death - the real Garbo is revealed for the first time. Here at last is Gronowicz's eagerly awaited controversial and unauthorized memoir of Garbo written through her eyes and based on their long and intimate friendship.<br />Nobody else could have described her childhood in such harrowing and candid detail; or written with such passion about Mauritz Stiller her discoverer mentor and lover who brought her to Hollywood in 1925 where her career took her to a stardom that has never been equalled; or detailed her long and chequered years as the greatest and most reluctant of stars. Here are Garbo's own memories as reported by Gronowicz of those fabulous years - of the films including Queen Christina Grand Hotel and Ninotchka; of friends such as Cecil Beaton and the great conductor Leopold Stokowski and the lovers: Stiller John Gilbert Lew Ayres George Schlee Robert Montgomery. Here too Gronowicz relates the often rumoured fact that 'women pursued her more often and persistently than did men' and that her friendships with women such as Marie Dressler and Mercedes de Acosta gave her a new sexual experience and spiritual peace. Haunting compelling the book takes us with Garbo on her search for personal understanding as she looks back dispassionately over a life of fame and manipulation. Full of graphic and moving revelations Garbo provides a remarkable insight into a complex and enigmatic woman. Her voice so poignantly heard through the records of Gronowicz tells of the price of self-absorption egoism and a 'near existential acceptance of pain'.<br />Please contact seller because of the lighter weight of this item for correct shipping/Pp quotes - particularly ALL overseas customers - BEFORE ordering through the order page! <br />N.B.

The summer of 1996 ended well with an operation that successfully treated an eye which had been useless for almost ten years. Further good news on the health front followed in March 1997. Thus fortified Sir Alec continued his journal for the next eighteen months. These were tumultuous times for the nation - the election of Mr Blair the death of Diana - but other matters continued to hold equal importance in Hampshire: the difficulties of the plane trees during the dry summer the extraordinary appearance in the skies of the Hale-Bopp comet the vulnerability of the hassocks in Steep Church and the experiments with Chinese cooking encouraged by Ken Hom's TV enthusiasm. And then of course there are the books films and plays that were enjoyed - mostly - throughout the year.Dickens and Patrick O'brian are read with delight. Shakespeare's birthday his 433rd is celebrated with a visit to Baz Lurmann's film Wiliam Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet' which gives pleasure despite its title and despite the fact that it leads to the melancholy thought that the worst Romeo ever was 'none other than me moi-meme'. And a revival of Terence Rattigan's 'Cause Celebre' at the Lyric Theatre prompts some memories of the playwright who is putting bums on seats thirty years after he was dismissed by the avant-garde. Sir Alec reports on these matters - local national and cultural - with varying measures of acerbity and affection and muses fascinatingly on books films and theatre.The result is a worthy successor to the highly acclaimed volume of diaries. <br />Please contact seller @ rpaxtonden@blueyonder.co.uk for correct shipping/Pp quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!

Mary Hodge Winchester
1939 Trip Diary of a Scottish Immigrant to America Returning Home Via the Panama Canal for the First Time in 26 Years Experiencing Europe in the Months Just before the Second World War Would Change Everything
Glasgow Scotland. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1939. Hardcover. On offer is the diary of a Scottish immigrant to the United States following her first visit home since she left for America 26 years earlier. This diary kept by Mary Hodge Winchester 1892-1983 details her first class voyage accompanied by her 17-year-old daughter Marjorie back to Scotland to visit family left behind and discover the United Kingdom through the lens of a mature well-traveled adult. It also details her four months based in Scotland and travelling to nearby locations and a rocky journey back to America and home to Seattle. Mary was born in Lochwinnoch Scotland to parents Duddingston Hodge and Margaret Park. As a young adult in 1915 after a stop in Sydney Australia Mary moved to the USA. In January of 1916 she married fellow Scottish immigrant John Duncan Winchester 1883-1980 in Butte Montana. John was born to David Winchester and Jessie McLaren Lauder. He had arrived in New York in 1914 and initially worked as a miner. After the birth of their first child the Winchesters moved to Seattle Washington. John worked as a machinist and a driver eventually opening his own company in the transfer and hauling industry. Together Mary and John had two daughters Isabella Hooper 1916-1997 and Marjorie Lander 1922-2009. Ship records show that Mary and Marjorie boarded the Knusten Lines M. S. Sophie Bakke mastered by B. Barene in Tacoma Washington on March 25 1939. The ship had originally departed from Vancouver Canada and it docked in Glasgow Scotland on May 28 1939. Mary documents their travels in a My Trip diary. The first page titled Itinerary is where Mary writes a one-page overview of their two-month journey to Glasgow: Leave Seattle 2.30 P M March 26th day arrive at Lintone 2.30th arrive Portland 30-1st Arrive St Johns 2nd Leave in afternoon 2nd Oakland 3rd San Francisco 4th May 4th in San Pedro Los Angeles 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 6 - 14 at Sea 14th June Docked at Panama at 11.45 P M 14th 8.30 AM - 15th then the Canal to the Caribbean Sea Past Broads Island off the Mexican Coast & on into the Atlantic Ocean Passing Mona Island & on to Glasgow going up the Firth of Clyde seeing many interesting Places & Land Marks on the way. Glasgow Sunday X MayNext Mary details her daily adventures both on the ship and at ports. She also references the activities of her daughter and the other passengers. She makes a few passing comments that hint at some challenges in her personal life back home such as her Mothers Day entry: I feel very blue the two mothers on board have been opening surprise packages & cards & I do feel let down I will feel better soon & after all I might get a letter at Panama & we had a lovely day laughing but I was still feeling a bit sick from my sunburn but Marge had a good time we had all the officers who were off duty at the party & it was quite an event for them as they are rarely treated May 14 1939. Most of Marys entries are newsy and upbeat. She writes of various stops on the journey such as visits to San Franciscos Chinatown the Worlds Fair on Treasure Island Alcatraz Panama City the Panama Canal and Gatun Lake and more. Marys writing seamlessly incorporates historical observations descriptions of ship life and a tourists fascination. Some excerpts: Marge is writing to John
here we are in Oakland
quite a sight
Alcatraz was also quite a sight and there are quite a lot of flowers on the Island and the Electric train is quite near the dock so we are going to town and the fair
we went into Oakland
went to the fair which was very interesting but a bit disappointing
came back in time for dinner bringing Myrtle and JD Kennedy with us
April 29-30 1939. Note: the Golden Gate International Exposition was a major World's Fair on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay. A beautifull & warm morning the girls are all in sun suits on the Sun deck the pool is filled so swimming this afternoon Margie & Celene went swimming I took only one dip Margie stayed about an hour & had a grand time in the evening I played bridge with Miss Huntington & Mr Beard
May 7 1939. .We are now going through the first lock called Pedro Miguel it is all so very interesting we take a negro crew for the trip through the locks little cars pull us by cable all the way through there are guards everywhere .Marjorie just says I am sorry Betty is missing all this it cost 6000 dollars to send each ship through the locks. Our pilot for the Canal is Leut Commander Hans M. Schloming USN Reserves
undated but around May 16 1939.We are traveling now right through where they cut the Panama canal right throu the mountain. I would have taken pictures but they are not allowed we are traveling through gold Hill and contractors Hill there is a plaque on the side hill in memory of Major Gaillard engineer for the famous cut
we have come to the second locks
there are 4 ships ahead of us so the girls got the 1st Mate to put down the Jacobs ladder and 3 of them went swimming in the bay - or Gatun Lake rather
undated but context puts the entry at around May 17 1939. Upon arrival in Scotland Mary and Marjorie spend time with members of both the Hodge family and the Winchester family. She names many family members and friends and also writes about the United Kingdom like a curious tourist. She is staying with her older brother Duddingston Hodge and his wife Euphemia. She spends her time back home exploring her home country and roots learning more about her family members connecting with friends and taking some exciting trips to nearby locations where her passion for history is on full display. Some excerpts give the flavour of her overseas entries: Arrived in Glasgow last night about 7 P. M
Dudd Pheimie Isa and Margt met us we had a long slow sail up the Clyde & it was very interesting. We saw so many war ships in construction & saw the Queen Elizabeth just finished
May 29 1939. Note: The family members who met them are likely her older brother Duddington Hodge his wife Euphemia Ann Kennedy and Isabella and Margaret two of their five children. .Went on for a long walk to see where Mrs. McLean a relation of her mother-in-law lived. I will try to go see her June 11 1939. Mary and Marjorie did trips outside of Scotland including visits to London and Edinburgh: .We went to Madam Tausards it is all very wonderfull then on to St Pauls to see the whispering gallery as the guide talked we could hear him on the wall on the other side then
up to the stone gallery some 375 steps 340 feet high
we wrote our names on the second landing
June 23 1939. On a visit to Edinburgh Castle Mary wrote many pages about what she learned. She was absolutely fascinated by the history. A brief excerpt: .We also saw Mary Queen of Scots chair it is 400 years old andthe only one in existence and her portrait at the age of 45 and is the original.we saw right beside the Castle from Marys window a row of houses that was bombed during the last war 1917 they think it was ment for the Castle and it just missed it
. Most of Mary and Marjories time is spent is Scotland. It was nice & warm but we didnt find Mothers grave. D hadnt gone since we left Scotland 26 years ago I felt awful about it I did think he was different July 17 1939 Glasgow.So miserable Phemie rubbed me and put plaster on still coughing stayed in bed all day Kate called July 19 1939. The women depart Glasgow on August 19: Had my hair done and went over town then packed and got ready to leave we were at the dock by 9: 30. Dudd Jessie Phemie and Donald came on board we sailed about 2AM Aug 18 1939. The voyage home is documented less thoroughly as Mary was extremely seasick for much of it but she still writes regularly. Feeling a little better but have to stay in bed had a visit from Mrs. McDonald Mrs. Davis Mrs. Humes feeling very sick the Dr. Says I am sea sick being so weak it's horrible and very painful Aug 22 1939. After docking in New Jersey on August 27th they had a few whirlwind adventures before taking the train home. Excerpts: Here we are in NJ
. Went dancing in eve with Alex had a fine time at childs
Got letter from D. J and Flo
Saw Wizard of Oz with Judy G. And Mickey R. In person
Aug 27 1939. They also went to the Worlds Fair Radio City Music Hall shopping and visiting friends before getting on a train on August 30th due west. The final entry: Arrived home by 830 met by Dad Isabell and Everet and home spent the day unpacking very tired. Retired early writing. Twas a grand trip Mary & Marge Winchester Sept 2 1939. As well as tracking their trip in daily diary format Mary made use of the Travel Diarys formal format and listed side trips such as Oakland San Francisco Port Glasgow Edinburgh and New York. She summarizes her experiences briefly there though most are written up in elaborate detail within her main entries. She also fills out the People Met section listing many new friends and a few addresses. Examples: Jessie is Mrs. Binns
. Mr. And Mrs. Wood Oklahoma Mr. Crawford at Trossauds
And in the Incidents section she records: Baby chimp at zoo church announcement and christening Eastern Star
Tipped into the diary is a single photo of three people dressed in military uniform. On the back it is noted that the people are Soldier Duddington ATS Margaret Sailor Stewart and the photos stamped Aug 1942. Taken together this diary is a terrific summary of the experience of a European-American journeying home and realizing all she left behind for her new life in America while simultaneously seeing her home region in a new light as an adult with an astute eye to its history. Family conflict is alluded to though never explicitly discussed and the experience of the young Marjorie an American-born daughter of immigrants is also alluded to. Approximately 90 pages of handwriting. Diary was originally written in pencil but it is evident that someone has traced it in pen. Unknown as to whether that was Mary herself. The diary is in very good condition. ; Manuscripts; 32mo 4" - 5" tall; Hand Written Personal Memoir Handwritten hand written autograph autographs signed letters document documents manuscript manuscripts writers writer author holograph personal Americana Travel Steamship Ocean Travel Pre - World War Two World War II Scotland Great Britain Wizard of Oz Mickey Rooney New York World's Fair Exposition ; Signed by Autograph . hardcover
