(AGE DISCRIMINATION SUIT-- HARVEY N LEVIN V LISA MADIGAN)Biblio.com

In the Supreme Court of the United States: Lisa Madigan et al. Petitioners v. Harvey N. Levin Respondent. On Writ of Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit -- Brief for Respondent

rif. 47419N.p.: Counsel Press n.y. Paperback. Small 4to. Stiff red wrappers. xii 54pp. Near fine. Rear wrappers and last leaf only mildly warped. Bright tight copy of this legal pamphlet No. 12-872 part of an age discrimination suit filed by an Illinois state's attorney who argued he was dismissed because of his age 61 to make room for a younger female attorney. Remarked one commentator "He won a major victory in the Seventh Circuit Court allowing him to go forward with a claim that his constitutional right not to be discriminated against because of his age had been violated. The state took the case on to the Supreme Court claiming that his right to sue under the Fourteenth Amendment had been displaced by the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act. The problem in brief was that the Seventh Circuit decided the case before it was due to go to trial and the professors had questioned its authority to do that. If that was right Justices Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Anthony M. Kennedy commented why did the Supreme Court have any business stepping in" The Illinois Solicitor General got spanked by the justices during his questioning. Then "Levin's lawyer Edward R. Theobald III took to the podium. His appearance began on an unfortunate note as Justice Alito tried unsuccessfully to get him to take a firm position on whether or not Levin was an employee under the ADEA. For reasons that were not clear Theobald contented himself with simply reciting what the Seventh Circuit had said in ruling for his client." It goes on: "Chief Justice Roberts promptly took on Theobald saying that he had gotten what he had sought from the court of appeals and now was trying to insulate that result from any review. The Chief Justice was referring mainly to Theobald's merits brief in which he had put heavy emphasis on whether the ADEA issue was involved at all in the case since Levin he said got no protection under that law. The argument it was clear was getting far out of Theobald's opportunity to control it in his client's favor. Finally Justice Scalia had had enough. He noted that many of Theobald's arguments had not been made in his brief opposing the Court's review. 'We don't like to dismiss a case as improvidently granted' the Justice said impatiently. 'We depend upon counsel' to make arguments in a way that puts them before the Court. 'You should have told us' earlier Scalia said." This pamphlet is the aforementioned brief opposing the Court's review -- and the front wrapper is inscribed and signed large and bold by Levin's attorney: "To -- / My Good Friend / Ed Theobald / 10-8-15." These briefs are produced in small quantities for distrbution to those parties involved and are therefore rather scarce. This unusual item is accompanied by five large glossy Christmas cards each imprinted with Theobald's full name and each signed on inside panel with a holiday greeting. For good measure also included is a copy of Lyle Denniston's 2013 legal analysis of Levin v. Madigan "Argument recap: A bad way to open a Term" which includes a court artist's rendering showing Theobald presenting the case before Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Counsel Press paperback

This rise in wealth resulted in the rise of a New Money elite those who made their money not through generational wealth and family connections but rather through oil the railroads and other rising industries. They are best exemplified by John D. Rockefeller Jay Gould Henry Clay Frick Andrew Mellon Andrew Carnegie Henry Flagler J. P. Morgan Leland Stanford and Cornelius Vanderbilt.

Two of these images are cyanotypes. Though the family is not named in the album and photographs with names underneath lead to nothing online there is a photograph in front of a house labeled Westbrook. The Westbrook estate on Long Island was designed in 1886 for William Bayard Cutting 18501912 by the architect Charles C. Haight in the Tudor Revival style. It contained the first private golf course in the United States and is now a part of a state park called the Bayard-Cutting Arboretum.

Regardless the scrapbook is a prize for anyone interested in this fascinating and relevant era in American history. It provides fantastic insight into the life of a wealthy Long Island family including what they did what they wore and how they presented themselves to each other and their neighbors. hardcover

Born in Indiana in 1863 he was first called to the ministry and became a minister in the Methodist Church. Soon after though he became taken up with hypnotism and the power of suggestion and by the turn of the century was a well known figure in occult mental healing and metaphysical circles. Following his interests he took off the robe and in 1897 founded the Weltmer Institute of Practical Psychology in Nevada Missouri. It became one of the most famous mind cure institutes in the country. Like many he also conducted a mail order business of his lessons. He was denounced by the medical profession and brought up on mail fraud charges but unlike many of his fellow healers he was never convicted. He authored and published numerous books and lessons on hypnotism suggestion mental healing and occult laws of mind some of which circulated widely in metaphysical and New Thought communities. As he pre-dated Mary Baker Eddy and many kindred New Age movements in the field of mental healing he is now considered a pioneer in the field. People continue to read his books today. This periodical contains snippets of his Lessons in Practical Psychology and numerous articles. He eventually turned the institute over to his son Sidney and died in 1938.

[DANCE SCHOOL PHOTOS -- JAZZ AGE/WOMEN]. [KNOWLES, Annabelle Gertrude (Director); BAKER, Almeron Joseph, BEEM, Ira Kintner & CENBiblio.com

A captivating group of commercial studio photographs of the performers performances and costumes at the Hollywood College of Music Dancing and Fine Arts in Portland Oregon as the Jazz Age descended into the Great Depression. The performers of the “Baby Vanities” and “Kiddie Revue” range in age from 6 & 7 to teenage years including both girls and boys.

1930rif. 58055Portland OR: Hollywood College of Music Dancing & Fine Arts Baker Studio Granada Studio La Vere Photo Shoppe Photo Craft Studios ca. 1930-1933. Oblong 4to. 24 original photographs all preserved in archival mylar sleeves sized 6.25 x 7 in. up to 8 x 10 in. some w/ photographer’s imprint w/in negative others w/ manuscript captions added a few w/ annotations and/or photographer’s instructions on versos all with bright strong contrast a few w/ offsetting from previous mounting on versos and one w/ very small pinholes at corners from prior mounting. Recent cloth binder stamping front cover excellent grouping. These photographs vividly document the dance and music studio operated by Annabelle Knowles reflecting the fast evolving costumes and aesthetics of the twilight of the Roaring 20’s as the U.S. descended into the Great Depression. These photos also clearly reflect the influence of Gus Edwards 1879-1945 vaudeville’s premier producer of kiddie acts and who had produced and released the shorts “Kiddie Revue” in 1930 and 1931. His influence was not only driven by his songs “By the Light of the Silvery Moon & “School Days” but also discovering such stars as Groucho Marx Eddie Cantor Mae Murray Sally Rand and many others. The images depict girls in two-piece outfits in front of Art Deco staging for “Body and Soul”; bare-backed girls in Flapper Era inspired costumes for chorus line “Kiddie Revue”; song and dance routines featuring Ronald Chetwood in top hat with Marcile Shillito Virginia Collins and chorus line in Jazz Age era costumes and canes; and several show Barbara Jane Wicks Shirley Jay Mulkey and Sunny Dentler in Spanish inspired costumes for “Baby Vanities.” Another shows adolescent boy and girl dance team in an “Apache” dance inspired costume number. The Hollywood College of Music Dance & Fine Arts offered classes and instruction in all ages with the last few photos showing teenage girls in chorus line with short hair coquettish expressions and teamwork or chorus line numbers. Annabelle Knowles 1900-1989 was a musician and dancer who founded the Hollywood College of Music Dancing & FIne Arts at 4112 NE Sandy Blvd. some time in the late 1920’s. Most of the street directory references focus on 1929-1932 and her British-America theatre-director husband at the time Vincent Knowles 1883-1944 worked at the studio as well. Baker 1882-1972 was a longtime commercial studio photographer in Portland OR who had initially begun as a photographer with noted tourist travel guide Howard Eaton photographing tours through National Pakrs. Beem 1892-1984 was founder and photographer at Granada Studio located in the 1930’s at 515 Swetland Building in Portland. Centlivere 1878-1964 owned and operated La Vere Photo Shoppe and Photo Craft Studios on Sandy Blvd. in Portland for nearly all of his career. We could find no similar collections or photographs or even references to Annabelle Knowles and very few examples of any of these three photography studios in institutional holdings.

[DIFFICULTIES OF OLD AGE - POSTER URGING YOUNG PEOPLE TO SHOW RESPECT TO THE ELDERLY].Biblio.com

来老难 Lao lai nan. Getting Old is Hard.

1980rif. 223104Unknown.: No publication details. circa1980. A poster with the image of an old man Lao Lai Zi outlined with white characters on a black background text in simplified Chinese characters 77 x 52.5cm small 1cm closed tear right edge and lower left corner repaired. In good condition with clear and well defined characters making the text easy to read. Lao Lai Zi a symbol of aging and filial piety is here represented in what appears to be a white line drawing on a black background. On closer inspection however the lines are made up of poignant and occasionally amusing rhyming verses listing the indignities of old age imploring the young not to look down on the elderly. The original stele carved with a similar image titled “Lao Lai Nan” Growing Old is Hard is located at the Temple of the Medicine King in Beipo village in Shaanxi Province. It isn’t known exactly when the Beipo stele was carved but it is said to be related to a Mrs Li who lived in the temple and wanted it carved to teach her unfilial children a lesson. The use of simplified characters and catchy verse written in modern Chinese indicate that it is a 20th century artefact. The Beipo stele includes smaller carvings of eight old people using sticks along the vertical edges. This poster is a modern artistic stone rubbing interpretation of the main visual feature on the Beipo stele i.e. the central figure outlined in characters in a pose and design similar to the original. A well known educational Chinese folk illustration “Lao Lai Nan” is a moral lesson on respect for the elderly. 老来难，老来难，劝人别把老人嫌，当初嫌别人老，如今轮到我头前，千般苦，万般难，听我从头说一番。耳聋难与人说话，差七差八惹人嫌. … Getting old is hard it’s hard I urge you not to look down on the elderly. Earlier I despised others for being old but now that I’m facing it head on with a thousand kinds of troubles and difficulties listen to everything I say. Being hard of hearing makes it difficult to communicate if you miss this or that you annoy people… … …痛苦难言聆，明不明睡不着，一夜小便七八遍，怕夜长，怕风寒，时常受风病来缠年老肺虚常咳嗽，一口一口吐粘痰，儿女们都恨咱说，我邋遢不像前，老的这样还不死，你还想活多少年… … … It’s hard to explain all the difficulties one can’t sleep and every night one gets up to urinate seven or eight times. I hate long nights cold breezes and I get sick from being in draughts. My lungs are weak and I cough and cough and cough up phlegm so my children dislike talking to me. They seem to think I’m unkempt and don’t look like my former self. So old and still not dead how much longer am I planning to live . No publication details. unknown
