1965132221Munich: Peter-Presse / Atlas Films 1965. Original 1965 German A1 poster for the 1963 US film. Designed by Heinz Edelman<br/><br/>From the collection of noted film historian Amos Vogel. Full provenance available. <br/><br/>An iconoclastic utterly American underground film best understood by way of the reactions it receives from viewers outside the US. Time Out Guide notes: "a highpoint from the 'innocent' years of American underground cinema and something of an enduring delight for real film buffs. Mekas' comedy starts from an enthusiastic parody of French 'new wave' concepts like using two actresses to play one character and manages to go on to incorporate references part satire part homage to what seems like every other branch of cinema extant . from samurai movies to Chaplinesque slapstick.hitting the intended tone between love and skepticism."<br/><br/>Jean-Luc Godard: "Next to the two big shots of the New York School Clarke and Cassavetes Mekas seemed a poor relative especially since people got him confused with his brother Jonas Mekas. 'Hallelujah the Hills' proves clearly that Adolfas is someone to be reckoned with. He is a master in the field of pure invention that is to say in working dangerously 'without a net. His film made according to the good old principle "one idea for each shot" has the lovely scent of fresh ingenuity and crafty sweetness. Physical efforts and intellectual gags are boldly put together. The slightest thing moves you and makes you laugh: a badly framed bush a banana stuck in a pocket a majorette in the snow. He shows life as defined by Ramuz: 'As with a dance such pleasure to begin a piston a clarinet such sorrow to be done the head spins and night has come.'"<br/><br/>23 x 33 inches non-archivally mounted on board.

The Philadelphia Children's Theatre was conceived by Christopher Speeth in 1962 and hosted by the Friends Neighborhood Guild the nonprofit community service organization founded in 1879. By the time the Theatre was organized and indeed from the 1920s on the Guild's service area was primarily African American as were the children involved in the Theatre for Children. An analogous project the Winchester Theatre for Children was established in New Haven in 1962 and there was a significant degree of cross-pollination between the administration of the two groups. Among the plays produced by the Philadelphia Theatre for Children was William Butler Yeats's KING OF THE GREAT CLOCK TOWER. While there are no explicit credits included for the text or the photographs another copy we have examined has the handwritten note: "Poem: R. Gelbspan / Photography: Kleinbard Trucker."
