1938000012475n.p.: n.p. 1938. Photograph. Very Good. 61 cm x 48 cm. Glossy black and white photograph. The photograph depicts from left to right: Chico Harpo and Groucho Marx all gathered around a harp with cheeky expressions on their faces. The harp that is pictured is the one that was used in their 1939 film At the Circus. The Marx Brothers got their start in Vaudeville but would go on to make several motion pictures in the first days of the Silver Screen. Thirteen of their films have been rated in the AFI's top 100 comedic motion pictures: their impact on cinema cannot be overstated. The brothers were sons of German-Jewish immigrants and their mother Minnie acted as their manager until her passing in 1929. In this photograph going left to right the three oldest Marx brothers are shown Chico or Leonard Marx Adolph or Harpo and the youngest of the three Julius or Groucho Marx. A few pinholes and light wear to the corners of the photograph. n.p. unknown

The chorus-line all-girl revue shows at the Frontier Village during the 100 day run of the Oregon Centennial Exposition. This re-created town from the 1870’s Old West featured the Golden Nugget dance hall & saloon as well as livery stable church post office and hotel and proved to be the most successful attraction. Mossman’s Can-Can girls put on daily shows and held dances where the daringly dressed women would dance with visitors and hired actors. The 1859-1959 Centennial Exposition lasted from June 10 to Sept. 17 on 65 acres along the Columbia River formerly Vanport wiped away in the tragic 1948 flood and also featured a Gayway Amusement Park Garden of Tomorrow & Adventureland. The photos depict not only Mossman’s Can-Can girl revue but also steam locomotives Modernist sculptures and murals by Louis Bunce and other Oregon artists as well as photos of the Mid-Century Modern Lumber Industry Pavilion and the striking Hall of Religious History in the Garden of Tomorrow which featured murals of Carl Morris. Also shown are neon sculptures the filled arena showing the opening ceremonies which featured actor Raymond Burr as master of ceremonies the Nelson Picket Dancers the Golden Nugget and Frontier Trading Post from the air and more. The second album includes as well more images from the Centennial as well as many from Earl Mossman’s “Productions†talent agency and entertainment group who supplied vaudeville dance and music acts such as Beverly Short Eleanor Malcolm Gary Marvin Ginger McClane Gwen Gibson Jerry Brown Freddie Keller’s Orchestra and Maury Meriweather’s Band to Portland OR and surrounding Pacific Northwest clubs and venues.

One photo includes dinner guests of Miracle Oxygen which featured the editor of The Oregonian Dick Nokes Paul Hauron stage feature writer the Todds and others. Of additional interest are the photos of Mossman showing off his scrapbook filled with images from his long career as well as images while convalescing with his bevy of beauties in the Shriner’s Hospital in Portland OR. Mossman 1894-1976 was an Oregon native and grandson of Isaac Mossman who had fought in the 1855-1856 Indian Wars rode with the Washington Territory’s Pony Express out of Walla Walla and was the first Washington Territorial librarian in 1870. Earl Mossman began running away from home as a young boy to perform in taverns and saloons in downtown Portland later worked for Pacific Power & Light Co. as an office boy and in 1913 after marrying his childhood sweetheart Catherine Groos launched his career on the Vaudeville Circuit. He initially played with the Basco Comedy Co. and later with Connie & Mack’s and the Bert Levy Circuit. Walter Winchell coined him as the “Beau Brummel of Broadway†during the 1920’s and by the 1930’s was performing with Norma Lawton in Broadway productions such as “The Dancing Producer†and performed with his partner Ray Vance at the Lotus Isle Amusement Park and the Peacock Ballroom. He would marry five different times performed at civic activities Rose Festivals and beauty pageants across the Pacific Northwest.Over half the photographs in this collection were shot by Allen J. De Lay photographer with The Oregonian from 1947 until the newspaper strike of 1960 who was not only an extraordinary photographer but also musician and competitive swimmer.

All three dancers were Russian and trained in both classical and popular dance styles. Their headlining act was what they called the "double face dance" where Marie danced with both men simultaneously and through clever costuming and choreography seemed to be perpetually facing the audience as her partners spun her around the stage.<br /> <br /> The group was scheduled to perform at the Bushwick Theater part of B.F. Keith's network of Vaudeville performance venues the week of September 3 1923. The picture of just Yasha and Marie is dated September 10 and inscribed to "our dear friend Mr. and Mrs. Klawans" likely referring to Bernard "Barney" Klawans the Broadway producer. unknown

19285820Various locations 1928. Good. 28 leaves illustrated with seventy-five photographs and numerous ephemeral items. Oblong quarto. Contemporary black paper-covered boards string tied. Some chipping scuffing and soiling to boards. Contents worn and shaken with some leaves detached or trimmed some images detached. Still a lively collection. A unique vernacular photograph album and scrapbook documenting a couple of years of Strout's Military Hussar Band a notable sideshow act that toured the country in the early part of the 20th century. A newspaper clipping one of about thirty in the album describes the group: "one of the finest bands in the country is furnishing music at the fair and has already made a big hit with the visitors. In the bright red uniform of the Hussars the band makes an excellent appearance." Another clipping states that "This attraction a singing band of some 16 members is said to be one of the most pretentious organizations of its sort on tour this year." The photographs within are mostly portraits of the band members the majority of which have been shape-cut out of larger photographs. There are also group photographs of other circus performers and sideshow acts as well as some images capturing the after-effects of a train crash; the side of the train reads "D.D. Murphy Shows" a well-known promoter during this period with whom the Hussar Band apparently traveled. One of the more interesting group photographs is pasted on the inside front cover and shows seven large individuals next to a manuscript caption reading "World's Fattest Family."<br /> <br /> The ephemeral items peppered throughout the album include tickets to fairs in Beaumont Texas; Little Rock Arkansas; Fargo Minot and Devil's Lake North Dakota; Memphis Tennessee; and Sedalia Missouri. Other ephemeral items include a business card for the solo clarinet and saxophonist of Strout's Hussar Band Benne Kenner; other business and calling cards newspaper clippings and other clippings probably from magazines. unknown
