About This Item
This American writer authored popular novels in the early 20th century such as "Dr. Ellen" (1908), "Ever After" (1913), "Joanna Builds a Nest" (1920), "Pleasures and Palaces" (1912) and others, including two silent film screenplays. AMS, 1p, 6¼" X 7 3/4", n.p., n.y. Near fine. On the verso of her "957 Madison Avenue" New York letterhead, Tompkins pens the 9-line poem "Memorial Day," which opens: "For soldier dead beneath the ground / Let drum and anthem cease...." Boldly signed in full at the conclusion. Undated, but likely penned in the 1920s. From the collection of Albert Johannsen (1871-1962), University of Chicago geology professor and author of "The House of Beadle and Adams and Its Dime and Nickel Novels" (1950), with his original 8½" X 11" file folder, bearing his printed "Collection of Albert Johannsen" label (partly filled in by Johannsen).
