192517481New York: Jacobsen-Hodgkinson Corporation. Fair. c.1925. First Edition. Softcover. NOISBN . worn copy rear cover detached pages browned and somewhat brittle chipping/flaking at corners creasing to covers etc. Popular Plays and Screen Library Series B&W photographs Novelization of the 1926 MGM film THE BLACKBIRD starring Lon Chaney Renée Adorée and Owen Moore and directed by Tod Browning. The book bearing a 1925 copyright date seems to have been issued prior to the release of the film itself -- which obviously had an 11th-hour title change -- in January 1926. The three photographic plates in the book itself are full-page portrait shots of Adorée Moore and Tod Browning -- the only example I've seen where a film's director was thus featured. Chaney himself is depicted on the front cover and in a minature portrait gallery on the rear cover with six small shots of some of his memorable screen characters including the Phantom of the Opera and the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Not in fantastic condition but extremely uncommon. It's unfortunate for today's collectors that many of the tie-in books for Chaney's MGM films were issued in these ultra-cheap non-durable Jacobsen paperbacks instead of as Grosset & Dunlap or A.L. Burt hardcovers. . Jacobsen-Hodgkinson Corporation paperback books

1948139884Rome Roma: Lux Film 1948. Two vintage French borderless still photographs from the 1948 Italian film. Both images depict African American actor John Kitzmiller. Foto Franci rubber stamp to the verso alongside various holograph annotations in pencil and red felt ink. <br/><br/>At the close of World War II an African American sergeant struggles with the temptation to sell ex-military supplies to the black market finally caving to pressure in order to save a woman with whom he has fallen in love. Though released in the US a year after its Italian debut it would quickly be banned there and in British-occupied Germany. In part the censorship was due to the film's depiction of interracial romance less offensive in Europe than in the US though moreso for its sociopolitical assertion about the state of race relations in the United States: after World War II scores of African American GIs chose to go AWOL rather than return to discrimination. <br/><br/>Set in Northern Italy shot on location in Tuscany Italy. <br/><br/>7 x 9.5 inches.
