186441942Boston: F. A. Searle Printer 118 Washington Street 1864. Some age toning light crease here & there with the occasional spot or two. Horizontal fold-line. Still a VG example of this fragile item. One broadside sheet printed recto only. 18-1/8" x 6-1/4" <br/><br/>Margaret Julia Mitchell popularly known as Maggie Mitchell was an American actress born in New York. She made her first regular appearance as Julia in The Soldier's Daughter at the Chambers Street Theatre in 1851. The parts in which she was best liked were Jane Eyre Mignon Little Barefoot and Fanchon the Cricket. Wiki In January 1861 At at De Bar’s St. Charles Theatre in New Orleans Mitchell first appeared in Fanchon the Cricket a new secondhand adaptation by August Waldauer from George Sand’s story “La Petite Fadette.” Her characterization of the sprite of a heroine which included a graceful and entrancing shadow dance was an immediate sensation. Her Southern tour was cut short by the Civil War and Mitchell took Fanchon to Boston and New York where it was equally successful. Fanchon remained her mainstay for 30 years. Audiences never tired of it—her admirers included the likes of Abraham Lincoln and Ralph Waldo Emerson—and even in her 50s Mitchell retained the winsome elfin appeal that made her so successful. She also early obtained the rights to Fanchon which enabled her to amass a considerable estate. EB. We find one institutional holding of this playbill at the MHS. A rare survivor of this play's northern run. F. A. Searle, Printer, 118 Washington Street unknown books

1929004602Boston: Chapple Publishing Co. Limited 1929. SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR on front endpage - "For my friend General Will H. Hays with sincere personal regards Faithfully Joe Mitchell Chapple The Attic Boston Xmas 1929". Will H. Hays managed Warren G. Hardings successful campaign for the Presidency of the U.S. and was subsequently appointed Postmaster General. After a year in that position he resigned to become most famously known as the first President of Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America MPPDA which under his guidance published a blacklist of actors and workers studios should not hire inserted moral clauses into actors' contracts and published an informal list of suggested guidelines for film producers. When the Catholic Church formed its Legion of Decency and threatened nationwide boycotts of movies Hays installed a more formal production code called the Hays Code later simply "The Code" which became the virtual law of Hollywood until the 1960s. Joseph Mitchell Chapple was a well-known editor publisher and author whose 2 Hollywood credits include writer for "Graft"1915 and producer for" Annabelle Lee"1921. In 1897 he took charge of "The Bostonian" magazine which he re-named "The National Magazine" to reflect its expanded coverage of American topics and letters. It became the leading national journal of American life and Washington affairs. "The Attic" was the Chapples well-known home over their publishing plant in Boston where they entertained the likes Presidents Harding and Coolidge as well as the most prominent writers and actors of the day and no doubt Will Hays.
