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

The 1900 Pocket Diary belonging to a young woman named Flora Blanche Chandler 1881-1962 of Hampton NY. Blanche as she was known is a prolific writer taking up every line on the page and squishing extra information into the margins. She writes daily filling the journal with the record of her life. Waking early often at seven or earlier her days are generally made up of a series of household chores she undertakes with her mother such as cooking sweeping and laundry. Her entries are detailed such as almost always noting the weather listing the exact about of doughnuts or pies she baked how long she practiced piano or what sewing work she did that day. At times she also helps her younger brother Spencer with his schoolwork. Blanche often writes of her friends and family visiting particularly her recently married elder sister Grace and her husband Harry. As Hampton NY is right on the border to Vermont Blanche and her family and friends often travel to several different Vermont towns such as Fair Haven and Rutland. At the end of the diary there are several pages of memoranda which are filled with extra entries from a few days when she could not fit all she needed to record on the date’s designated page. In this same section is also a page which lists the dates of her father’s Fred and brother’s Spencer deaths in 1919 and 1915 respectively. Lastly there are several pages of records of the letters Blanche wrote and received as well as her purchases for the year such as "two yards of dress cloth" and a bicycle.
