"Christmas is all about a story, the story of a baby born to humble parents in a tiny Bethlehem stable under a brilliant eastern star -- a story that changed the world forever. So it comes as no surprise that some of Guideposts magazine's greatest stories about about Christmas, and how people are inspired and lives are changed at this blessed time of year. For there is a resonance from that birth that echoes through time and through our very hearts. Every story in this collection is proof of the enduring power of that first Christmas, true personal accounts of transformation told by ordinary people . and not -so-ordinary people. You will read about blessings, traditions, forgiveness, love, faith, giving, miracles, and angles. All the themes that make this season truly holy. Have you ever felt lonely at Christmas? Widower Jimmy Gupton did, until he took in a struggling young married couple with a baby on the way. Jimmy learned that there is always room at the inn, and always a reason to go on living. A copywriter who yearns to give gifts that really mean something has her prayer answered in a way she could have never imagined. A single mom struggling to raise two young daughters discovers the power of a puppy to soothe hurting hearts. A firefighter's vivid and disturbing dream saves a family from death on Christmas Eve. Then there is the account of a mysterious disappearance of the Christ Child from the manger scened at Victory Church. Who could have done such a thing? You'll be surprised to find out. I was. Almost as surprised as I was to learn how writer Kitty Slattery's missing tooth led her to a deeper understanding of the Christmas spirit. There are familiar names too. Hollywood legend Jimmy Stewart will tell you why it really is "a wonderful life" and what that classic holiday movie meant to him on the most personal level. Celebrated ornament-maker Christopher Radko introduces you to his Polish grandmother and explains how the desire not to disappoint her led him to design his first beautiful creations. Beloved actor Michael Landon talks about the angels in his life, human and otherwise. My favorite holiday stories, though, come from our "His Mysterious Ways" feature -- year in and year out the most popular page in the magazine. Here you will meet people from all walks of life who have experienced something inexplicable, even miraculous, at Christmastime -- incredible stories that will send a shiver down your spine and warm your heart as well. This book is filled with stories you will never forget from the little magazine that has inspired millions of readers for sixty years. So go ahead, start reading, and find out why Guideposts is America's favorite magazine, especially at Christmas. -- Edward Grinnan, editor-in-chief, Guideposts." -- from the Foreword.

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.
