1916réf. 610830New York: The Dutch Treat Club 1916. Softcover. Very Good. Presumably the first edition. "Produced under the personal terribly direction of William Merrigan Daly." Quarto. 63pp. Stapled unprinted wrappers. Soiling and rubbing to the wrappers and bumping to the corners still a very good copy. Contains 13 numbers for voice and piano plus dialog. Performed at Delmonico's on Monday evening February 28 1916. The operetta's lively introduction states "The Dutch Treat Club on the occasion of its Tenth Annual Explosion presents this operetta of the Loose School. Believe us we had one hell of a time keeping the cast together until to-night! During rehearsals they kept dropping off over the telephone like flies!" The Dutch Treat Club is a New York social club for artists musicians and performers that remains active to this day. The cast for this performance included such figures as August Hutaf John Barnes Wells Howard Chandler Christy Herb Roth Rea Irvin Fontaine Fox and more. OCLC locates only three physical holdings of this piece. NB: The University of Toronto digitized their holding and it includes as a decorative half-title page an image of a painting by James Montgomery Flagg with the same title which according to the website artnet was supposedly painted in 1920 and did not include the title at the top as shown in the UT holding. This copy does not contain this image and it is unclear if it was originally intended to be included. The Dutch Treat Club unknown books

Two old horizontal folds a couple of thin stains on the front panel a bit of rubbing about near fine. A program for the film Money Talks in Darktown starring Florence McLain Frank Montgomery Bert Murphy and Jimmie Marshall. The Historical Feature Film Company was a White-owned production studio in Chicago producing films with largely Black casts but which still incorporated all of the racial stereotypes of the period. The company is largely credited with being established in 1915 though this program is for a film releasing on November 30 1914. Following poor public reception to their early films the company changed their name to the Ebony Film Corporation in 1917 in an attempt to appeal to the Black audience and hired Luther J. Pollard a young Black entrepreneur who was given the title of president and general manager. The company officially shut down just a couple of years later. Very scarce.

Light wrapper wear couple of closed margin tears wear along spine slight discoloration. A pristine text. Near Fine. The final three pages print the prospectus of Family's Defender "An Independent Non-Partisan Non-Sectarian Monthly Magazine and Educational Review." "This is another case of a husband's shooting a man suspected of being his wife's lover and getting away with it" McDade. Montgomery this pamphlet's author was hired specially to prosecute Schroder. He had recently retired after a long successful career as a trial lawyer in order to devote his energies to reform in public education. But this case induced him to return to the legal wars: "Dr. LeFevre had for many years been my dentist my client and my friend . I believed him to have been foully murdered by an assassin who after killing him was seeking to destroy his reputation by falsely charging him with the seduction of his wife in order to paliate the murder." Angered by this libel upon his now defenseless friend he decided to "assist in the prosecution of the murderer." He did so without fee. However his efforts-- "to vindicate the good name of the slandered dead and to assist to the extent of my humble ability in protecting society against a repetition of similar deeds of blood in the future"-- failed: Schroder a man "considerably addicted to playing cards and speculation in stocks" was acquitted. In fact says Montgomery Schroder committed an "unmerciful beating of his wife" to force her to testify to a "criminal intercourse with Dr. Le Fevre" that had never occurred. And LeFevre in his dying declaration said that Schroder had murdered him "without any cause!" McDade 589. Rocq 923. Cowan 439. unknown books
