My station in life<br /> Is that of a clerk.<br /> But privately <br /> There are two things I love<br /> Surpassingly:<br /> Good wine<br /> And the women<br /> Of other men.<br /> <br /> Acting script of the Ethel van der Veer translation of a Chinese play Circle of Chalk which tells a tale of disputed inheritance discord and murder in the tenth century C.E. <br /> The play was first popularized in the west through a German translation by Klabund Alfred Henschke produced in Berlin in 1925 and also produced in London from a script by James Laver with Anna May Wong as the heroine. Independent of these productions Ethel van der Veer's translation was published in 1933.<br /> The Circle of Chalk must be counted as a key source for Bertholt Brecht's postwar drama Die Kaukasische Kreidekreis. The present text is uncredited but follows the van der Veer with the frequent addition of stage directions many of which now seem "Brechtian" in the way characters turn to face and often directly address the audience. unknown

1933138407Germany: Kinematrade 1933. Vintage US poster for the 1932 German communist propaganda film "Kuhle Wampe oder Wem gehort die Welt" The subtitle is seen here under the English translation "Whither Germany." Circa 1933 as identified by the name of the Philadelphia theatre on the poster. <br /> <br /> The last and arguably most important communist film of the Weimar era "Kuhle Wampe oder" is according to screenwriter Brecht a "Collective Presentation" that tells the tale of a family in early 1930s Berlin. After the son is prolongedly unemployed he commits suicide and the family is forced to relocate to a shantytown known as "Kuhle Wampe" or "Empty Stomach." Created under severely limited material conditions with filming constantly being broken up by the Weimar government's paramilitary SA agency the film attempts to depict archetypes of the times including an intellectual clash on a subway between members of the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. <br /> <br /> Banned first by the failing Weimar Republic and subsequently by the Nazi Reich the film was believed to have been lost until it reappeared over 20 years later in East Germany in 1958. This poster likely originates from screenings held in November 1933 by an unknown pro-communist organization in Philadelphia at the short lived left-leaning Philkino theater. A US screening of this film dating before the film's disappearance and only just after the very beginnings of Hitler's rise to power makes this poster not only very scarce but one of significant historical value. <br /> <br /> The poster touting "Kuhle Wampe" as "The Film Hitler Burned" features an image of a man with a hammer and sickle attacking two snakes that form the Nazi swastika and touts the involvement of members of the "Labor Sports Union" in the film. <br /> <br /> 9.5 x 13 inches letterpress on pale faded pink stock. Very Good with expected moderate wear. Kinematrade unknown

A novel based on the author's famous 1928 musical play 'A Threepenny Opera' later re-issued as 'Threepenny Novel' which he co-wrote with Kurt Weill itself loosely based on John Gay's 'The Beggar's Opera'. The play was filtered through Brecht's experiences among the criminal fringe elements of the Weimar Republic. It was the first of Brecht's plays to appear in English. This edition was not issued in the UK. Bertolt Brecht was born in 1898 in Augsburg Germany and was 16 when the First World War broke out. Exploiting a loophole which allowed medical students to be deferred from the army he enrolled at Munich University and began to study theatre under the guidance of Arthur Kutscher. His first works of theatre criticism began to appear as early as 1919 and over the following few years he took part in a political cabaret of the Munich comedian Karl Valentin. Valentin became a huge influence for the young writer and he wrote his first full-length play Baal in response to an argument he had with Kutscher during one of his drama seminars. This re-writing of other's work - as well as his own - would become a key theme in his writings. As he claimed "Anyone can be creative.it's rewriting other people that's a challenge." Over the following years of the 1920s Brecht began studying Marxism and Socialism in earnest. By the 1930s he had formed a writing collective which was composed of such names as Elisabeth Hauptmann Margarete Steffin and Ruth Berlau. Together they adapted John Gay's 'The Beggar's Opera' into 'The Threepenny Opera' with Brecht's lyrics set to music by Kurt Weill. The resulting opera was a huge hit in Berlin and helped to renew public interest in the musical genre worldwide. Set in Victorian London the plot follows Macheath the leader of a criminal gang who marries Polly Peachum at the displeasure of her father. In revenge he seeks out Macheath's death - but is hindered by the chief of police Tiger Brown. ""You are about to hear an opera for beggars" Brecht famously narrates ahead of the performance "Since this opera was intended to be as splendid as only beggars can imagine and yet cheap enough for beggars to be able to watch it is called the Threepenny Opera." Fearing persecution Brecht fled Nazi Germany in February 1933 and after stints in Denmark and Finland he settled in California to continue his career as a screenwriter. Very scarce with the wrapper.

The three parts of the joint exhibition were: 'I. Vorspiel zum Cédille / Prelude to the Cedilla / Prélude à la Cédille. II. Le Cédille Qui Sourit 12 rue du May Villefranche-sur-Mer A. M. September 1965 - Oktober 1968. III. Das ständige Geschehen / The Eternal Network / La Fête Permanente. Was das Cédille sein wird ist / What the Cedilla will be is / Çe que deviendra la Cédille est devenue.''La Cédille Qui Sourit' was Brecht and Filliou's artist run shop or rather 'non-shop' - the raison-d'etre was to eschew typical commercial activities - in Villefranche-sur-Mer. Stocked with artist books and multiples from Filliou and Brecht's Fluxus associates together with examples of their own work and other ephemera from their working process: letters jokes puzzles recipes poems and sketches. The venture lasted as indicated above from 1965 to 1968 before its metamorphosis into 'The Eternal Network'.Whilst the format of boxes as exhibition catalogues follows the Mönchengladbach format the use of a matchbox design was unique and appears to have been the brainchild of Museum Director Johnanes Cladders.Rennert / Titz 7.
