1940148508Los Angeles: Paramount Pictures 1940. Vintage borderless photograph of Preston Sturges and Muriel Angelus on the set of the 1940 film. Mimeo snipe and "Paramount Photo by G.E. Richardson" stamp on verso. <br/><br/>Sturges had become a very successful Hollywood screenwriter by the late 1930s and with his screenplay for "The Biography of a Bum" wanted so much to direct the film that he offered to do the job for free. With very few exceptions notably Charlie Chaplin the notion of an established studio writer directing a film was nearly unheard of in Hollywood where writers were typically not even allowed on the set. Only the irresistible cheapness of Sturges' offer made it possible for the film to get made. <br/><br/>Over the six year period during which the script remained unproduced the title changed to "The Vagrant" then "Down with McGinty" then finally just prior to production to "The Great McGinty." It was not only a success but won Sturges an Oscar for Best Screenplay. More importantly he was allowed to continue as a writer-director with a magnificent career that included one classic after another including "Sullivan's Travels" "The Lady Eve" "Unfaithfully Yours" "The Palm Beach Story" and "Hail the Conquering Hero."<br/><br/>8 x 10 inches.

1903WRCAM55317N.p. but likely Chicago 1903. Two-color map on thin paper approximately 18 x 31 3/4 inches. Original folds. Slight separations at a few crossfolds few short closed marginal tears. Very good. An interesting promotional map produced by Chicago oil and real estate speculator Charles O. Richardson highlighting the oil- producing areas of Uinta County Wyoming at the dawn of the 20th century. Uinta County is located at the extreme southwestern corner of Wyoming on the border with Utah. At the time this map was produced crude oil was vitally important to both the Standard Oil Company and the Union Pacific Railroad - for the former to refine into gasoline and for the latter to lubricate locomotives. Both entities appear on the present map. <br> <br> The "Index" or key of the map references the first two wells of the Standard Oil Company other oil & gas wells the lands of the Standard Reserve Oil Company the lines for the Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad red dashed line the Union Pacific Railroad Main Line solid red line and certain county and other roads. On the far right portion of the sheet is a large schematic cross-section showing "the stratifications of oil sand encountered" in drilling the Union Pacific Oil Well. <br> <br> Oil was known to exist in Wyoming long before the present map since at least the 1830s when Captain Bonneville found an oil spring near Dallas Dome. Uinta County was known to have oil near Hilliard when Fort Bridger was established nearby in 1842 both appear on the present map. Yet this map is one of the earliest depictions of the industry on a promotional piece produced when the railroad the automobile and the motorcycle created explosive demand for oil. Overall the present map is testament to the importance of southwestern Wyoming in the history of the oil industry. Wyoming still ranks in the top ten among oil-producing states in the U.S. <br> <br> A rare map with only four copies reported in OCLC at Yale SMU's DeGolyer Library the University of Utah and the University of Wyoming.
