Another Dickens
Collection Soon
to Be Dispersed
Rare First Editions Collected
by Late w. G.. wilkins on
Exhibition To-day.

Another important Dickens collection
has just been placed on the auction
market and can be seen beginning this
morning at the Anderson Galleries until
the date OF sale, on Monday and Tues
day afternoons, February 1s and IA.
This Is the collection of the late WILL
lam Clyde wilkins OF Pittsburgh, who
was probably the most ardent collector
of works OF Charles Dickens In this
country. He was particularly avid OF
first editions and secured not only those
as published in the original parts and in
book form In England. but many OF
those published in America. He also
asquired the first editions published in
Germany. Holland and France. India
and Van Diemans Land, many OF which
are now very rare.
The collection, which numbers some
SIS items, is enhanced by q wide va
riety Of extra illustrations, amassed by
Mr.. wilkins. These include not only
the work of various artists directly IL
Illustrative of the novels themselves, but
also a large number OF illustrations of
the scenes and places mentioned In
Dickens, and 80 Of q kind OF Dickens
Typographical interest Another unusual
feature of the collection is the presence
of a number of the playbills Of various
performances in which Dickens acted.
such as the one at Devonshire House, In
Bulwe1's "Not So Bad AS We Seem."
and in Wilkie Collins's 1.-THE Frozen
Deep" both Of which were specially
written for these presentations. These
playbills In particular, embracing two
separate performances, are made more
interesting and valuable by the addition
OF autograph letters, portraits and other
pertinent material.
Not the least important in this coll
lection is English Notes. Intended for
Very Extensive Circulation" printed in
Boston in 1912, and a satire on Dickens's s
american Notes" This rare volume, OF
which only about half dozen copies
are known. bears strong evidence Of
having been written by Edgar Allan
Poe, and is now generally accepted as
such. 1t reflects an interesting literary
animosity. Several volumes in the col
lection are the work Of Mr.. Wilkins
himself. who had visited practically all
the places associated with Dickens or
his works, and had an intimate ac-
quaintance with the members of the
novelists family

RIVoLI--lriss Dorothy Dalton In 'aTo-
ran OF the Lady Lefty, George Mel
ford production from the story by
Frank Norris. Scenario by Monte M.
Katterjohn.
To bob or not to bob was evidently
the burning question that faced Miss
Dorothy Dalton in girdlng herself up
for this picture. The fact that she was
to wear trousers in It was as nothing
beside that.
On the whole, one regrets that Miss
Dalton trimmed her hair to the length
stand ardized tor horses. AS sne spends
all her time aboard ship in this pic
ture she couldn't very plausibly have
1t fiuffed out and marcelled. For lack
OF that, it seems to hang in strings OF
licorice around her face. The ordinarily
enchanting countenance OF Miss Dalton
thus becomes as broad beamed as O.
ship. and her charming smile turns into
hntchway.
Rudolph Valentino, maintains his us
ual sleek appearance as wealthy young
idler for after he has been shanghaied
aboard a raffish smuggling vessel he
seems to have just been turned out by
the ships valet Even when he is in
seagoing deshabille and sloshing water
from bucket. one feels that he could
change instantly Into his best party
manner and siosh tea from a cup. But
as evidence that his rough experience
before the mast works a transforma-
ton in his character, he no longer wears
the patent leather haircomb OF his
San Francisco trifiing.
OF course no film can live by bruis-
ing alone, though that is prime requi-
site for success nowadays. Acting Is
necessary, and generally Miss Dalton
gives a forceful characterization of the
girl who wanted to be a. man, except
when her hair gets into her perform
ance. The photo play has all the pic
turesque concolnitants of thrilling sea
yarn, including a mutiny a boarding at
tack by Mexicans against vessel and a
fire at tea. wherin 1t strained credulity a
bit to find a girl remaining alive all night
killed strapping men.
In addition to a Funny Face comedy.

Amusing and Interestingly Varied Performance b

They faded away to show duet OF
gracefully draped figures out of the
middle days of the past century sing
ing the songs of Glinka and playing
their accompanim snt on the old fash
ioned piano.
Then followed the parade of the
wooden soldiers, who went through their
maneuvers with such mechanical pre-
cision that the spectators insisted on
their repeating the steps just for the
sake of the way they all seemed to totter
and threaten to fall ever on their backs
when they came to stop.
A poetically plaintive dance between
the old premiere ddnseMse and her part
ner in the dance of former years was
another graceful episode of the evening
that showed Mime. Deykarhanova and M.
Gorodetslxy in one OF the serious If pretty

spectators had to see 1t a second time.
