[Cannabis/Dope/Marijuana] Powell, W.C. [Polla, William Conrad. (1876 - 1939). DOPE. A Rag Novelette Two-Step. Milwaukee: Joseph Flanner. 1909. First Edition.
Born to immigrant German parents in New York City, Polla composed a steady stream of popular music from around 1902 until his death, frequently using the thinly-veiled and Americanized pseudonym, W.C. Powell. A player piano roll recording of "Dope" may be heard at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io5uR9yo9cI.
Upright folio. 5 pp. Front cover with full color illustration of a man blissing out on an armchair smoking a pipe, while other men and women are shown working in the less colorful background, the names of other popular sheet music tunes and numbers of copies sold mingled artfully in the wafting smoke billows emanating from the pipe. Very tiny tear to right edge, otherwise in mint condition, the nicest copy we've seen. Scarce.
