Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fair. Book Club Edition. Played out against the opulence of Beverly Hills, the elegance of Paris, the ruthless worlds of high fashion and international movie-making, this is the story of Billy Ikehorn and her metamorphosis into one of the world's most desirable women. Once she had been the desperately unhappy and unattractive daughter of a reclusive doctor, the "poor relation" in an aristocratic Boston family. Now, she was beautiful, glamorous, and sought after.and she gloried in it. Unleashing her long-pent-up passion, Billy moved from one man to the next until she found Ellis Ikehorn, nearly forty years her senior and ruler of a vast industrial empire. At their villa on the French Riviera, their apartment in Paris, or their vineyard estate in California, Billy learned to forget the pain of her past. Their happiness was total but brief. After five ecstatic years, Billy was alone once more. To fill the growing, dreadful void, she created Scruples, a playland specialty shop where the rich could indulge their most lavish desires. For some, Scruples was the beginning of a dream come true-for Billy, it was the first step toward finding her real self and her desires. With penetrating insight and shocking detail, Judith Krantz intimately evokes the public and private worlds of the super wealthy, the ambitious, and the talented. A keen observer and a brilliant storyteller, she vividly portrays the raw sexuality, the needs and the drives of the world's most beautiful people. An important contribution to an immensely popular genre, Scruples will leave millions of readers breathlessly awaiting the next Judith Krantz novel. oor relation" in an aristocratic Boston family.

CRIMINAL HISTORY Table is blank except for handwritten note in fountain pen: "Notify District Attorney's Office Washington D.C.: 10-23-31" This card was processed on October 23, 1931, the dissemination of his aliases, detailed physical anomalies (such as prominent gold teeth, a severe eye twitch, and a distinct foreign accent), and a substantial $250 reward suggest an active federal and municipal dragnet. In the 1930s, arson was dealt with severity since it put human life at risk in a dense urban environment Value elevated because it includes clear mugshots, interestingly with his eyes closed, a high-value reward ($250), police profiling term, "NATIONALITY Hebrew" (You never see "NATIONALITY Episcopalian" or "NATIONALITY Baptist" on posters), and references to the Bertillon physical measurement system which was phased out shortly after this era. Since he was 50 years old in October 1931, he was born c. 1881. Since he "is Hebrew and speaks with accent." He was surly a first-generation Jewish immigrant, likely arriving during the massive waves of migration from Eastern Europe between 1890 and 1910. Surely his name was not Edward Frank White when he got off the boat. Maybe his last name was "Weiss", which is German and Yiddish for "White." In the mugshots his eyes are shut. This was either a deliberate tactic or a symptom of his physical condition. The text notes his "twitching eyes" and a "nervous disposition." In the 1930s, police cameras used intense, bright flash powder or early high-wattage incandescent bulbs. For someone with a severe, involuntary nervous twitch (blepharospasm), the blinding flash would trigger a powerful, immediate spasm, causing them to shut their eyes at the moment the shutter clicked. But it was also common for seasoned criminals to intentionally blink, grimace, or look down to distort their features and ruin the mugshot, making it harder for the public to recognize them from a flyer. Sometimes the police used spoiled photos because developing film took time and, also, police departments couldn't afford to waste multiple plates of film . .…

No Binding. Condizione: Good. Wanted Poster 247 x 215 mm. In acid free Mylar sleeve. Will be shipped flat between heavy cardboard layers. Two small tears in blank area on top where the poster was attached to something.[Transcript:] Department of Police, Worcester, Mass. HEREWITH find picture of HEMAN CASSEL for whom we hold warrant for his arrest on charge of larceny of $1,040.00, property of Alexander Oureka of this city. Cassel formerly conducted a ticket agency and banking business at 244 Front Street, this city, and left here February 24th, and is alleged to have defrauded numerous people (Polanders and Russian Jews) out of thousands of dollars. He was also interested in a like business at Lawrence, Mass., both offices were conducted under the name of "Herman Cassel & Co.," Cassel running the business in this city, and one Joseph Kaplan conducting the office at Lawrence. Cassel is described as being about 35 years old, 5 ft. 7 in. tall, 145 lbs. weight, sallow complexion, dark hair and small dark moustache, bald on front part of head; is a Russian or Polish Jew, talks very good English. Kaplan is described as being 24 years old, looks a little older, 5 ft. 11 in. tall, very stout, weighs about 230 lbs., full round face, very thick lips, medium complexion, dark hair; was born in this country, is of Jewish descent. John E. Sheehan, City Marshal of Lawrence, Mass., holds warrant for Kaplan's arrest for the larceny of $200.00.Cassel and Kaplan are probably together and are, so we are informed, endeavoring to sail for England; they may, or may not be accompanied by Cassel's wife and daughter who are described as follows: the wife is 32 years old, 5 feet 4 in. tall, slim build, dark eyes, dark hair, dark complexion with Jewish features; dresses fashionably and is stylish in appearance; the girl is 8 or 9 years old, small for her age, very dark complexion, and has Jewish features. Cassel and Kaplan are very good dressers; Kaplan usually wearing slate colored suit, English walking coat. If you should locate Cassel, hold and wire me and I will send officer with necessary papers. WM. J. E. STONE, Chief of Police. WORCESTER, MASS., March 12, 1906." [Historical records for minor, local 1906 ticket agency frauds are sparse outside of localized newspaper archives from the Massachusetts area. These small-scale "immigrant banks" frequently defrauded newly arrived Eastern European laborers by taking money intended for steamship tickets or family remittances and vanishing before local authorities could react. They had a two-week head start from February 24 to March 12 to board a transatlantic vessel to England or resettled under aliases in major metropolitan area in the U.S.] Private immigrant banking fraud was a systemic crisis in the United States between 1880 and 1920, driven by the rapid influx of Southern and Eastern European laborers who were locked out of mainstream American financial institutions. Thousands of unregulated, unchartered neighborhood banks" operated in immigrant enclaves, serving as vital community hubs before frequently collapsing due to speculation, mismanagement, or intentional "bank-wrecking" scams. Mainstream American commercial banks in the early 20th century generally required English fluency, had business hours that conflicted with manual labor shifts, and outright refused to service low-wage foreign laborers. To fill this vacuum, saloon keepers, grocers, steamship ticket agents, and boarding house operators acted as private bankers. These became known as immigrant banks. They often doubled as labor bosses (padrones), securing factory, mining, or railroad jobs for newly arrived immigrants. They sold steamship tickets on installment plans to help laborers bring their families to America. They processed tiny financial transfers back to European villages. They held payroll deposits for safe-keeping because workers had no other secure place to store cash. Because these banks operated outside state or federal regulation . . . or gamble on speculative stocks. When a personal business venture failed, the entire community's savings vanished with it. Before Charles Ponzi made HIS scheme famous in Boston in 1920, early private bankers utilized the same concept. . . (illustratore).…

Schöner Brief (2 S. 8 to) mit Empfehlung, Unterschrift signiert - über sein Verhältnis zum Fußballer / soccer und seine favourite footballer.

From the Macqueen-Pope papers, and evidently received by him. (See his entry in the Oxford DNB.) Of Dunn an online source states: 'On the 10th of November 1917, the "Stage Gossip" feature in the Yorkshire Evening Post recounted the career of Finlay Dunn, a stage actor. According to the report, Dunn performed "as what he refers to as a stand-up comedian." [.] despite performing as a comedy piano act for the majority of his career, one of his favourite strands included joking about his large physical size, which was described as "good buffoonery in evening dress, with no accessories whatever".' In The Stage, September 1912, Dunn was described as 'manager and stage director'. 1p, 12mo. In fair condition, lightly aged and folded once for postage. Dunn has affixed a portrait of himself, apparently cut out of a newspaper or magazine, to the head of the page. Beneath this he writes: 'I have a gift to write in rhyme / And though a Pro; think it no crime / To write & try to make folk laugh / With my idea of fun & chaff / Which I have done for many years / Spreading laughter, without tears / With one piano & one strong chair / Still fit to do so, anywhere / Maybe, you know me - Finlay Dunn / Telephone - Canonbury - 2801. / If not in, then wet or fine / Please leave particulars, with Miss Hine.'.…
