anthologist Joseph AUSLANDER (1897-1969) is perhaps best known
for editing several editions of the poetry anthology, The Winged
Horse (beginning in 1929). His own poetry was published in a number of
journals and general interest publications, and Auslander also collaborated on
two novels with his wife, poet Audrey Wurdeman. From 1937-1945, he was the
poetry consultant and gifts officer for the Library of Congress.
Walter HAMPDEN (1879-1955) was a prominent American stage actor closely
associated with the role of Cyrano de Bergerac, which he first performed in
1923. Hampden formed his own repertory company, was President of the
Players' Club for 27 years, and appeared in supporting roles in several films,
from The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939) to The Vagabond King
(1956). His wife, Mabel MOORE HAMPDEN, spent thirty years (1908-1937) on
the Broadway stage and appeared in one silent film, A False Suspicion
(1911), opposite Francis X. Bushman. Slightly soiled, stray ink marks beneath
Mabel's signature. File holes at blank left margin. Overall, fine
condition.
