1920126251N.p.: N.p. 1920. Original Art-Nouveau style illustration of actress Bebe Daniels painted on pressboard circa early 1920s noted as starring in "Adam and Eve" with Jack Holt. <br /> <br /> There is no record of either Daniels or Holt starring in a film either titled or with the working title of "Adam and Eve" nor could we find any news sources for a proposed production with that title. The only two films starring both Daniels and Holt are "Ducks and Drakes" 1921 and "North of the Rio Grande" 1922. A beautifully executed illustration of the young actress likely as lobby art for a silent film theater.<br /> <br /> Bebe Daniels was a noted actress singer dancer writer and producer who appeared in over 230 films over her 50 year career in film. Daniels began her career as a child actress in silent films and later became a star in musicals such as "Rio Rita" 1929 directed by Luther Reed and co-starring John Boles.<br /> <br /> 17.75 x 25 inches pressboard 1/2 inch thick.

Helen Anderson and the illustrations to Hero L. Conesny. Some toning to a couple brochures. Contemporary ink signature of Carol Weale a lifelong Denver resident and educator in each brochure. Contemporary ink marking to one brochure. Still a near-fine set of rare brochures. These brochures were issued as the postwar baby boom hit Denver and the rest of the country. Twice as many children were born in the city in 1950 than in 1940 10440 children compared to 5462 according to the Where Will I Go to School brochure. The population of Denver also increased by nearly a third between 1940 and 1950 going from about 322000 people to almost 416000. The population increase strained Denver infrastructure requiring the installation of "thousands of new water taps and miles of new water mains" as well as "thousands of new telephones gas and electric meters…and thousands of new homes on the tax rolls" Where Will I Go to School. Denver public schools were pushed to capacity by the flood of new students and these brochures address the efforts of the Denver school board to increase school capacity and keep schools staffed. The brochures also address literacy and changing educational standards between generations see There's More to Reading Than Meets the Eye. The O.J. Goldrick brochure refers to a Denver folk hero who was the city's first schoolteacher and helped establish early infrastructure like the first library Sunday school and newspaper and wonders whether he would be surprised by Denver's recent growth.</p> Colorado: Denver Public Schools Board of Education,
