191142917Cincinnati 1911. Silver gelatin photograph mounted on stiff grey mounting board with green border and bevelled edges. Very minor soiling/wear to photo signed and inscribed at upper and lower corner. Light soiling to mounting board upper corner slightly bumped light damp-staining to verso with few spots of loss to paper overlay. VG overall. Photo: 8-3/4" x 7-13/16". Mounting board: 12" x 10" <br/><br/>Publicity photograph from vaudeville performer W.E. Crafeaux signed and briefly inscribed to his mother on the photo itself with a longer signed inscription to the verso of the mounting board. Crafeaux is in blackface and clownlike apparel. The inscription on the verso is dated "Cincinnati O. 3/29/11" and reads in part: "Darling Mamma: - Don't laugh at your red-headed son in this garb as its sic the way he makes his living making other people laugh. Crazy way to make a living isn't it. Some are born fools and others get jealous and make fools of themselves but I don't know whether Im sic a natural fool or naturally a fool or a fool naturally however Im sic not as big a fool as some fools I've fooled . . . " W. E. Crafeaux who seems to have been known professionally as Earle performed with his wife Tessie in several locations on the West Coast as well as in Oklahoma and the Midwest. The Tulsa Morning Herald called them "a pair of the cleverest entertainers on any vaudeville circuit" April 9 1911 and the Vinita Daily Chieftain reported that the Crafeaux were particularly well-liked by a "large audience . . . that readily showed their appreciation of this clever and versatile team by many rounds of applause" August 13 1910. The Vinita Daily Chieftain goes on to note that the final offering that night was the Crafeaux's original blackface comedy "The New Hostler." Research indicates that the Crafeaux also performed in Bakersfield and Santa Ana CA as well as Abilene KS primarily circa 1910 - 1915. They appear to have lived in San Francisco around that time as well as in Los Angeles. unknown books

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. Photos included here depict as well the Nelson Pickett Dancers The Glenns “originating new tricks in a dancing mood;†The Carsony Brothers; the Earl Mossman Girls featuring models from the Gloria LaVonne modeling agency; along with Walter Blacke Jacqueline Clark Earl Mossman’s Dolls for “Delta Dome†and more.

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. He is perhaps best remembered for his photographs of the darker seamier side of Portland in the post-World War II era. Other Oregon photographers represented include Maxwell Allara Paul Blixt Kirk Braun Bill Gray Hodge Kennell-Ellis Verne Lewis Alfred Monner Dick Slater Don Thompson Donald Wilson and others. Of particular interest are noted theatrical photographers such as Bruno in Hollywood and James J. Kriegsmann 1909-1994 celebrity & theatrical photographer from 1929 to the 1980’s.

19239283New York City 1923. Two black and white 8x10 photographs with some fading very good. <br /> <br /> The Andrieff Trio was a popular terpsichorean act in the 1920s Vaudeville scene made up of married couple Yasha and Marie Andrieff and Yasha's brother Andrew Andrieff. 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
