Hardcover. Condition: Very Good +. 1st Edition. Xi109 Pp. Brown Cloth. #327 Of 3000 Numbered Copies, This Being An Unopened Copy (Pages Still Attached Along Fore Edges). Inscribed By Active Social Artist William Gropper To Esther (Poodgrein?) "With Compliments From Me & Apologies From Christ". Per Wikipedia, Carl Sadakichi Hartmann (1867 - 1944) Was An American Art And Photography Critic, Notable Anarchist And Poet Of German And Japanese Descent. Hartmann, Born On The Artificial Island Of Dejima, Nagasaki, To A Japanese Mother Osada Hartmann (Who Died Soon After Childbirth) And German Businessman Carl Herman Oskar Hartmann And Raised In Germany, Arrived In Philadelphia In 1882 And Became An American Citizen In 1894. An Important Early Participant In Modernism, Hartmann Was A Friend Of Such Diverse Figures As Walt Whitman, Stéphane Mallarmé And Ezra Pound. Around 1905, Hartmann Was An Occasional Performer At The New York City Miner's Theater. His Act Involved A Device Which Dispensed Perfumes In A Manner Intended To Be Analogous To Notes In A Symphony, Which Was Poorly Received By The Crowd. His Poetry, Deeply Influenced By The Symbolists As Well As Orientalist Literature, Includes 1904'S Drifting Flowers Of The Sea And Other Poems, 1913'S My Rubaiyat And 1915'S Japanese Rhythms. His Works Of Criticism Include Shakespeare In Art (1901) And Japanese Art (1904). During The 1910S, Hartmann Let Himself Be Crowned King Of The Bohemians By Guido Bruno In New York's Greenwich Village. Hartmann Wrote Some Of The Earliest English Language Haiku. He Was One Of The First Critics To Write About Photography, With Regular Essays In Alfred Stieglitz's Camera Notes. Hartmann Published Criticism And Conducted Lecture Tours Under The Pseudonym "Sidney Allen." He Made A Brief Appearance In The Douglas Fairbanks Film The Thief Of Bagdad As The Court Magician. Later Years Found Him Living In Hollywood And, By 1942, On His Daughter's Ranch Outside Banning, California. Due To His Age And Health Conditions, Hartmann Was One Of Only A Few Japanese Americans On The West Coast To Avoid The Mass Incarceration During World War Ii, Although The Fbi And Local Officials Visited The Ranch Often To Conduct Investigations. A Collection Of His Papers Is Held At The University Of California, Riverside, Including Correspondence Related To His Obtaining Permission To Remain In Banning During The War. The Dedication To This Book Is To Aileen Pringle (Born Aileen Bisbee; 1895 - 1989), An American Stage And Film Actress During The Silent Film Era. Born Into A Prominent And Wealthy San Francisco Family And Educated In Europe, Pringle Began Her Acting Career Shortly After Her 1916 Marriage . One Of Pringle's First High-Profile Roles Was In The Rudolph Valentino Film Stolen Moments (1920). Many Of Pringle's Early Roles Were Only Modestly Successful, And She Continued To Build Her Career Until The Early 1920S When She Was Selected By Friend And Romance Novelist Elinor Glyn To Star In The 1924 Film Adaptation Of Her Novel Three Weeks With Matinee Idol Conrad Nagel. The Role Catapulted Pringle Into Leading-Lady Status And Her Career Began To Build Momentum. Although Disliked By Some Hollywood Insiders, Aileen Pringle Often Was Dubbed By The Press As The "Darling Of The Intelligentsia" Because Of Her Close Friendship With Such Literary Figures As Carl Van Vechten, Joseph Hergesheimer, Rupert Hughes, And H.L. Mencken Who Became A Lifelong Friend Of The Actress. Ralph Barton, American Artist, Was Also A Devoted Friend And Used Her As The Model For Dorothy In His Illustrations For Gentlemen Prefer Blondes By Anita Loos. Another Admirer Was George Gershwin Who Met Her In Hollywood And Wrote Much Of The Second Rhapsody At Her Santa Monica, California, Home. Her Wit, Keen Intellect And Sparkling Personality Made Her A Sought-After Companion. In 1944 - 1946 Pringle Was Married To The Author James M. Cain.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Life expectancy worldwide increased by thirty years in the twentieth century. Even so, many soon-to-be retirees don't expect to live decades beyond eighty. They typically haven't thought much about what their lives will be like after retirement, except to be glad to be done with rising at the break of dawn, punching time clocks, and fighting crowds on lanes or trains. But after two or three years of retirement, the days become dull, and their bodies become listless. In contrast, other retirees engaged with the world are seeking out fulfilling projects and programs. These people are looking for things to do-ways to use their newfound years to fulfill old dreams. Once they did, they did not describe life as a half full (or half empty) bucket; they needed two buckets to hold the summation of their lives! These are the people who inspired the writing of Dance until the Music Stops. With personal experiences, research, anecdotes, insights, and humor, author Esther C. Gropper developed this guide to help seniors enjoy their retirement and learn the 'what's what' of extended life.…
