All these (and more) need new homes as I'm going to a different country for an extended stay soon so send me a Flickr Mail message (access through the arrow that appears near my profile photo when mousing over it, or click on the little tan envelope that appears on my profile page) if interested.
Paperback. Rare! I was not able to locate another copy. 1062 pages. Though there is no publisher's date inside the book, it was published in 1920. There is an inscription inside the front cover on the first page dated 1926. Two publishers listed. London: Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent & Co. Ltd. New York_Charles Scribner's Sons. This copy is printed in Great Britain. The pages contain some browning, indicative of a 92 year old book. The pages are almost completely separated from the spine between pages 30 and 31. There is some tearing of the front and back covers and both contain an emblem with scrolling ribbon which the owner wrote her name in, in pencil. The paper cover over the spine is missing. Considering its age, this book is in remarkable condition. All pages are intact. The book contains: Contents: Troilus and Cressida, Coriolanus, Titus Andronicus, Romeo and Juliet, Timon of Athens, Julius Caesar, Macbeth, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, King Lear, Othello, the Moor of Venice, Antony and Cleopatra, Cymbeline, Pericles.
Over a thousand Chicagoans, from all walks of life and all parts of the city, came together at Millennium Park to perform "Crowd Out" by Davind Lang.
Although a bit chaotic in the beginning, once the leaders of each of the small groups that formed the whole got things in sync, it became a beautiful performance and a moving experience.
I came upon this event purely by accident and it took me a while to figure out what was going on.
Once surrounded by all these people, I was pretty much stuck, so you see some of the same faces over and over again.
During the Golden Age of American Illustration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, artists like Charles Dana Gibson could become wealthy celebrities. They could become rich and famous by creating drawings and paintings for newspapers, books, magazines, and commercial advertising.
Gibson was educated at the Art Students League of New York and wanted to create paintings for publication, but the marketplace definitely favored his pen-and-ink drawings. That preference was so strong that his “Gibson Girl” became an ideal image of youthful American femininity, and Gibson’s drawings of her were responsible for the success of several magazines. At the height of his career, Gibson was paid $100,000 for 100 drawings over a four-year period (well over $1 million today), and he was later able to purchase “Life” magazine with a syndicate of successful illustrators.

Was it colgate that won Tommy Blake over? Or was it the fact she becomes an insatiable minx after a couple of Tom Collins?
