1945232061945. Capra Frank. Japanese-Americans a 1945 wartime military screen magazine segment film reel highlighting Japanese American service in the U.S. Army's information and morale boosting film distributions during the final year of World War II. Produced for exhibition to servicemen as part of Army-Navy Screen Magazine No. 45 the segment is also an example of the wartime contributions of legendary Italian-American filmmaker Frank Capra one of Hollywood's most influential directors best known for It Happened One Night Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and It's a Wonderful Life. During World War II Capra became a major figure in official U.S. military filmmaking directing or supervising films that translated government policy and Allied war aims into accessible emotionally forceful cinema for soldiers and civilians. Here his Army film work presents Nisei troops not as an isolated human-interest subject but as participants in a broader program joining military projection democratic rhetoric and controlled public acknowledgment of Japanese American loyalty after mass incarceration. The film's focus on the 100th Infantry Battalion the 442nd Regimental Combat Team battlefield casualties and a widow receiving the Silver Star shows how Capra's wartime production apparatus helped frame Japanese American military service for uniformed audiences in 1945.<br /> <br /> Capra Frank producer. Japanese-Americans. Segment from Army-Navy Screen Magazine No. 45. U.S. Army Signal Corps Army Pictorial Service 1945. Black and white sound film reel 16mm. Present on a large reel in metal can the lid handwritten in grease pencil "ARMY/NAVY SCREEN MAG." and "NO #45." The identified segment shows a spokesman in Hawaii praising Japanese Americans in the U.S. Army a war widow receiving a Silver Star scenes of Nisei troops in the Italian campaign the 100th Infantry Battalion entering Livorno wounded men being evacuated and General Mark Clark citing soldiers of the 34th Infantry Division. The physical reel remains tightly wound; the present housing and handwritten can notation directly support identification to issue no. 45.<br /> <br /> Issued at a time when Japanese Americans were serving in segregated units even as many of their families remained confined under wartime exclusion policy the segment shows how Capra's Army film production participated in reconciling racial tension and patriotic messaging to American servicemen. Japanese American servicemen are honored here as heroes and patriots. Light wear and dust to can; reel housed and tightly wound; surface inspection only. A strong piece of World War II military film notable both for its Japanese American subject matter and as a sample of Frank Capra's influential wartime propaganda work for the U.S. Army. unknown

1928003636London: Country Life Ltd 1928. First Limited Edition. Full Pictorial Pigskin. Near Fine. No. 65 of 150 Edition de Luxe limitation signed by author and the illustrator using his pseudonym. 4to. 11.5 by 9.5 inches 29 by 24 cm. 240 6 pp. The illustrations through the body of the work are sprightly colorful fun and perfect exemplars of a twenties to thirties highball sophisticated aesthetic -- a sporting extension of the sleek look associated with thirties screwball comedies and musicals! The book makes riding and all its mishaps seem like one endless lark a party in which nothing really bad could possibly intrude. This is the kind of work that everyone will have a favorite image but few can not but admire the frontis of horses' heads awash with a gilt border. Much of the illustration by the way appears as if it were applied directly by hand and this slapdash manuscript quality greatly adds to the charm of the production. The pigskin binding has a film of soiling but remains attractive especially with its inked title and inkwell and feather quill pen imagery. With also a letter from the publisher.

8vo., First Edition, with 37 plates on 16; black cloth, gilt back, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper. Astonishingly, the first biography of 'Boy' Browning. Mead throws fresh light on the failure at Arnhem, and details Browning's close post-war relationship with the Royal family. In the light of Buckingham's recent critical assessment Browning comes off here very lightly.
