1920List330New York: Arnold Genthe 1920. Silver gelatin print 6 ¾ x 9 ¼ inches on larger mount. Signed by Genthe on the mount inscribed by Marlowe as Marlowe Sothern on the mount as follows: "To Jean: our little comrade on our walks in Beautiful Stockbridge. In remembrance also of 'Sun Yat Sen' and Choo-Chio Chow. September. 1940. Julia Marlowe Sothern. Very Good. An uncommon image of the actress feminist and suffrage advocate Julia Marlowe who adopted the name - though never legally - Julia Marlowe Sothern after working with the Shakespearean actor E.H. Sothern. Ill health led Marlowe to retire from the stage in 1924 and she was seldom seen in public. This photograph inscribed later in her life is an uncommon relic from her reclusive later years. We can find no record of a Jean or the names mentioned. <br /> <br /> Arnold Genthe who famously photographed the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 from the site of his destroyed studio moved to New York in 1911 where he became a portrait photographer. He most likely took this picture in his stint on the east coast. We find no other record of this specific portrait of Marlowe. Some silvering at margins otherwise excellent with some light normal tanning to mount. Arnold Genthe unknown books

1881290Programme at Aberle's Theatre for the Week Commencing Oct. 17 1881. 13 3/8 in. x 4 1/8 in. Printed by Cameron & Co. New York. Aberle's Theatre stood on East 8th Street between Broadway and Fourth Avenue Astor Place in New York City and was opened on September 8 1879 in a building remodeled from St. Anne's Roman Catholic Church. Jacob Aberle whose name appears at the top of this playbill was the proprietor and manager until 1884 when the theatre reopened as The John Thompson. Known variously as Aberle's Theatre The Grand Central The John Thompson The Monte Cristo Comedy Theatre Kennedy's Comedy Theatre and from December 1890 it became a vaudeville theatre being renamed the Germania Theatre in December 1890 this theatre closed in 1902 and was torn down in 1904 to build the Wanamaker Building. The dramatic feature of this variety program was "The Idiot of the Mountains" featuring Claude Marcel as the idiot. The most famous performer on this program was the aerialist Harry Leslie who made headlines world-wide when he walked a tightrope across the Whirlpool Rapids at Niagara Falls in 1865. In this performance at Aberle's Theatre he walked from the rear of the stage up to the gallery over the heads of those in the audience. Billed here as "the only rival to the great Blondin." The other performers were Aberle's stock-in-trade minstrels. Condition good with slight chipping across the top. Cameron & Co. books
