196918853Los Angeles: Locare Research Group. Very Good in Very Good dj. c.1969. First Edition. Hardcover. 091398602X . good solid copy top front corner bumped; jacket lightly soiled and a little age-toned minor wrinkling near top of front panel. B&W photographs facsimiles INSCRIBED "To Sydney sic Solow" and SIGNED by the author on the title page. Essentially a "films-of-Mary Pickford" chronicle but limited to only those films in which she "appeared as a comedienne either as the principal actress or in a supporting role" for the Biograph Company from 1909 through 1912; the illustrations consist primarily of reproductions of "Biograph Bulletins" the company's trade ads and frame blow-ups from the films themselves. "During the almost three years that Mary Pickford was with the Biograph Company she averaged at least one film a week. Most of her roles were dramatic and quite often she played the part of an Indian maiden. D.W. Griffith however recognized her ability as a comedienne and whenever he had a suitable story cast her in that manner. Much has been said of Mary's subsequent world-renown as a dramatic motion picture star but rarely has her talent as a comedienne been given the attention it warrants." The inscribee was Sidney P. Solow longtime head of Consolidated Film Industries one of Hollywood's major film laboratories back when Hollywood had film laboratories. The author was an important early figure in film preservation largely responsible for the restoration of films from the Paper Print Collection at the Library of Congress. Signed by Author .
