More Parker Originals Added

We received photocopies of original Dorothy Parker material, as they appeared in magazines long ago. We've been scanning in a few at a time, so fans can see how they looked with the original illustrations. They are quite beautiful to see and read.

New on the Gallery page are:

"Paging St. Patrick" w/ illustration by Charles Baskerville; Life, 1922;

"To Marjorie Rambeau" illustrator unknown; Life, 1921;

"Figures in Popular Literature: The Flapper" w/ illustration by Charles Baskerville; Life, 1922;

"Life's Valentines" (Flo Ziegfeld & Charles Hopgood) w/ illusrations by Ralph Barton; Life, 1922.

All of these appear in Scribner's Not Much Fun: The Lost Poems of Dorothy Parker, which is on sale in the What The Hell Book Shop. A great new trade paperback edition with a retro cover design was published in July.
