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. Very Good with five screw holes a chip to the lower left corner and a crack to the upper left corner mended on the verso with paper tape and cello tape. N.p. unknown
1934141211934. November 30 1934 edition of the "Boston Evening Transcript" with front page article on the shootout that killed George "Baby Face" Nelson real name was Lester Joseph Gillis. Nelson was a bank robber and murderer in the 1930s known as Baby Face due to his youthful appearance and small stature. Nelson was a part of the notorious Dillinger gang. After a massive police hunt had resulted in the killing of John Dillinger only a few months ago Nelson and the rest of the gang were labeled "Public Enemy Number One." As an outlaw Nelson was responsible for the murder of several people and has the dubious distinction of having killed more FBI agents in the line of duty than any other person. Nelson was shot by FBI agents and died after a shootout called "The Battle of Barrington" which is the subject of this article. The title of this article "No Quarter to Young Widow of "Baby Face" comes from the wording of an order from J. Edgar Hoover ".find the woman and give her no quarter" which was widely interpreted to mean that the FBI had issued a "death order" for Nelson's widow who wandered the streets of Chicago as a fugitive for several days described in print as America's first female "public enemy". <br /> <br /> This front page newspaper article which is so long it continues onto page two reads in part ".Federal agents today as they hunted Mr.s Helen Gillis diminuative widow of George "Baby Face" Nelson leader of the rapidly diminishing remnants of the gang of the late John Dillinger.County and city police hoped to bring to justice John Hamilton believed to have been with her and Nelson when a machine-gun battle at Barrington in which Inspector Samuel P. Cowley and Special Agent Herman E. Hollis perished in the Government's drive against the nation's public enemies." And "Government agents stood guard at the morgue where Nelson's body lay on the same slab that recently held John Dillinger." And "Federal Agents believe Mrs. Nelson loaded guns for the outlaws in the fight with Cowley and Hollis." Scattered foxing and tears with minor paper loss around the edges. Overall in very good condition. unknown
196727697Berkeley/Los Angeles: University of California Press. Fine in Near Fine dj. 1967. First Edition. Hardcover. a very nice copy no discernible wear at all to the book; the jacket shows only minimal handling wear. B&W photographs Joint reminiscences of the early days of filmmaking by two veteran cinematographers whose "careers span the crucial period from the beginning to the consolidation of the Hollywood industry after the introduction of sound. From the personal stories of the two men giving in alternating chapters with a charming cross-cutting effect emerges an intimate account of the infant industry: the ruthless commercial piracy taken for granted by all the attempt by a small group of men to monopolize the making of pictures and the methods used by the independent companies to survive. Illustrated with many working scenes from early studios and stills from the authors' personal archives." Both men entered the film business in its infancy: Balshofer with the Lubin Company in Philadelphia in 1905 with Miller following soon after as Balshofer's then 14-year-old assistant! .

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 .
