[Cannabis/Dope/Marijuana] Powell, W.C. [Polla, William Conrad. (1876 - 1939). DOPE. A Rag Novelette Two-Step. Milwaukee: Joseph Flanner. 1909. First Edition. 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. Small loss to upper right corner of the wrappers, and to the lower left corner of the single central sheet, tears around the edges, else good. Scarce.
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.
