There are two additional black and white phots as follows: affixed to the front pastedown with photo corners is a captioned photo of "The Troupers in 'Here Comes the Groom' Jane Wyman and Adeline DeWalt Reynolds" which has written on the bottom margin this: "To Frances LOVE 'Grandma'," and affixed to the rear pastedown is a captioned photo of Adeline de Walt Reynolds as White Moon in a scene from the 20th Century fox Production 'Pony Soldier" which has written in the margin this: "With LOVE 'Grandma'." Beneath the signature of Ruth Le Prade on the front free endpaper in the same hand as that on the black and white picture is a circle with three Bs arranged in a triangular relationship. Born near Modesto, CA, Ruth Le Prade [1895-1969] was a poet prodigy as a high schooler who was recognized by the famous California poet, Edwin Markham. She was the author of several proto-feminist poems, but her life-s work really focused on her principal creation, called "The Poet's Garden." Apparently this was a group of like-minded women who gathered at La Prade's home and in her garden on Spaulding Avenue in Los Angeles to discuss social reform, civil rights, aesthetics, religious patriotism, as well as poetry readings, music, and dramatic playlets. Born in Benton County, Iowas, Adeline De Walt Reynolds [1862-1961] was an actress in the 1940s and 1950s. She appeared in several well-known movies, but usually uncredited. She also appeared in several as a Grandmother, which may account for the inscriptions in this book: Behind the Rising Sun (1943), Stars in My Crown (1951), Street of Chance (1942), Tales of Manhattan (1942). She also apparently played herself as Grandmother in Three Live (1953). It is not clear what the relationship was between Le Prade and Reynolds. Still, this book of peotry is a very unusual piece of Los Angeles and Hollywood history and literature. Signed by Author(s).

Two octavo volumes (18.75cm); maroon cloth, with titles stamped in gilt on spine and front cover; [ii],99,[11]pp. The first copy is inscribed by Eugene Debs to American film actress, screenwriter, and editor Helen Louise Gardner on the front endpaper: "To Helen L.

Poems honoring socialist leader Eugene Debs by a variety of radical 20th century poets including Witter Bynner, Max Eastman, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Carl Sandburg, Siegfried Sassoon, Horace Traubel, and Israel Zangwill, many others. Sinclair contributed the foreword, along with letters from H.G. Wells and George Bernard Shaw (who states: "Clearly the White House is the only safe place for an honest man like Debs"). An interesting pair of copies inscribed to Gardner (1884-1968), acclaimed stage actress and the first actress to form her own production company. Moved by his circumstances and deeply influenced by his speeches, she visited him in prison in 1920, bringing him an autographed photo and beginning a correspondence that would last through the mid-1920's. In a December 21, 1920 letter, she writes: "Let me tell you that I was surprised to find my emotional self somewhat unaffected while I listened to you talk. I know the reason now. It is the same with you as it was with Epictetus, prison walls cannot confine the spirit -- the mind is ever free. So, in a way, I did not feel your plight as keenly as I would that of another who had little vision, little intelligence, little understanding about his body being so small a part of the real him that his confinement was of the physical order only." While the "special edition" of 500, with signed bookplate by Debs, appears with some frequency, inscribed copies of Debs and the Poets are genuinely uncommon.
