1940182459Manila: 1940s. A graphic album showing fighting in the Philippines the Marshall Islands Papua New Guinea Guam the Solomon Islands and Palau. The compiler chose to include violent images displaying the brutality of the campaign. The album opens with portrait shots of individual Marines or groups along with photographs of American encampments and ships. The scenes then turn more distressing with images of dead locals including children lying on the beach or next to tanks. The photographs were taken across the Pacific theatre: one shows an American soldier holding a flame-thrower on Kwajalein Atoll another shows a beach landing at Luzon and a third shows a Marine posing next to a sign in Bougainville. Most were taken in the final years of the conflict including at Guadalcanal and Peleliu. There are also shots of the end of the war one showing a Japanese soldier surrendering with a white flag and another showing Japanese prisoners of war in a camp in Guam. The final photograph is the most famous "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima" showing six Marines raising the US flag on Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima. This photograph won the 1945 Pulitzer Prize for Photography. The majority of the photographs are commercial with a few opening portrait shots of the unidentified compiler. Oblong folio 286 x 390 mm.

196789614Theatre Services Co. Inc 1967. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. The format is approximately 8.875 by 12 inches. Unpaginated 16 pages plus covers. Illustrated covers. Inscribed by the author on the front cover. The inscription reads To David--from--"back when" Pat Boone. Patrick Charles Eugene Boone born June 1 1934 is an American singer songwriter actor author television personality radio host and philanthropist. He has sold nearly 50 million records and had 38 Top 40 hits and has acted in many films. Boone rivaled Elvis Presley's popularity in the 1950s and is ranked by Billboard as one of the biggest charting artists in the period 1955–1995. Boone spent 220 consecutive weeks on the Billboard charts with one or more songs each week. Through the 1960s Boone was one of the most popular entertainers in the United States becoming a teen idol as an alternative to rock and roll as singer writer actor and motivational speaker. In 1957 Boone commenced an ABC variety television series The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom which aired 115 episodes 1957–1960. Stars including Nat King Cole Edie Adams Andy Williams Pearl Bailey and Johnny Mathis made appearances. His cover versions of rhythm and blues hits had a noticeable effect on the development of the broad popularity of rock and roll. Elvis Presley opened for Boone in Cleveland in 1955 and the two later became close friends. As an author Boone had a number-one bestseller in the 1950s 'Twixt Twelve and Twenty. He became a member of the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. He continues to perform and speak as a motivational speaker a television personality and a political commentator. Boone began his career by performing in Nashville's Centennial Park. He began recording in April 1953 for Republic Records not to be confused with the current label with that name and by 1955 for Dot Records. His 1955 version of Fats Domino's "Ain't That a Shame" was a hit. This set the stage for the early part of Boone's career which focused on covering R&B songs by black artists for a white American market. Randy Wood the owner of Dot issued an R&B single by the Griffin Brothers in 1951 called "Tra La La-a" — a different song from the later LaVern Baker song of the same name — and was keen to put out another after the original failed. This became the B-side of the first Boone single "Two Hearts Two Kisses" originally by the Charms. A number-one single in 1956 by Boone was a cover of "I Almost Lost My Mind" by Ivory Joe Hunter which was previously covered by Nat King Cole. According to an opinion poll of high-school students in 1957 Boone was nearly the "two-to-one favorite over Elvis Presley among boys and preferred almost three-to-one by girls ." During the late 1950s he made regular appearances on ABC-TV's Ozark Jubilee hosted by his father-in-law. He cultivated a safe wholesome advertiser-friendly image that won him a long-term product endorsement contract from General Motors in the late 1950s. He succeeded Dinah Shore singing the praises of the GM product: "See the USA in your Chevrolet . drive your Chevrolet through the USA America's the greatest land of all!" GM also sponsored The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom. Many of Boone's hits were covers from Black artists. Along with "Ain't That a Shame" were "Tutti Frutti" and "Long Tall Sally" by Little Richard "At My Front Door Crazy Little Mama" by The El Dorados and the blues ballads "I Almost Lost My Mind" by Ivory Joe Hunter "I'll be Home" by the Flamingos and "Don't Forbid Me" by Charles Singleton. Boone is known as an example of whitewashing by taking songs by Black artists and sanitizing them to make them more palatable to a white audience which denied exposure to the Black artists. Boone also wrote lyrics for the instrumental theme song for the movie Exodus which he titled "This Land Is Mine". Ernest Gold composed the music. As a conservative Christian Boone declined songs or movie roles if they compromised his beliefs including a film with Marilyn Monroe. In one of his first films April Love the director Henry Levin wanted him to kiss co-star Shirley Jones. Since this would be his first onscreen kiss Boone cleared it with his wife before playing the scene.21 He had his own film production company Cooga Mooga Productions. He was a regular on Arthur Godfrey and His Friends from 1955 until 1957 and later hosted The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom on Thursday evenings. In 1959 his likeness was licensed to DC Comics first appearing in Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane No. 9 May 1959 before starring in his own series from the publisher which lasted five issues from September 1959 to May 1960. In the 1960s he began a series of self-help books for adolescents including 'Twixt Twelve and Twenty. The British Invasion ended Boone's career as a hitmaker though he continued recording throughout the 1960s. In the 1970s he switched to gospel and country; he also continued performing in other media. In the 1960s and 1970s the Boone family toured as gospel singers. The family made gospel albums such as The Pat Boone Family. Theatre Services Co., Inc paperback
