1926140498Beverly Hills CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer MGM 1926. Draft script for the 1927 Silent film. <br/><br/>Based on the 1913 yellow peril play by Henry Maurice Vernon and Harold Owen and previously adapted for the screen in 1919 directed by Maurice Elvey and starring Matheson Lang. Lon Chaney in full yellowface murders his daughter after discovering she loves the son of a British diplomat then seeks revenge on son and his the entire family. <br/><br/>Anna May Wong who has a small role in the film was originally considered for the role of the daughter but censorship of mixed race relationships on the screen caused the role going to a white actress a sadly all-too-familiar story in her career. Wong would leave Hollywood for Europe the following year after once again being denied the lead role in a film because of her race this time in "The Crimson City."<br/><br/>Tan titled wrappers rubber-stamped copy No. 543 and production No. 1589 dated Nov. 13 1926 with credits for story writer Louise Jordan Miln and screenwriter Lorna Moon.

192982794Indianapolis IN: The Bobs-Merrill Company 1929. First edition first printing. Inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "To Jean Hersholt a great artist from the author of this book Lorna Moon". With the bookplate of the Motion Picture Country House tipped-in above the inscription and two MPCH ink stamps to the front pastedown. The author Nora Low grew up in Aberdeenshire but eventually moved to the US and became a Hollywood screenwriter working on a number of hits in the 1920s including Mr. Wu starring Lon Chaney Don't Tell Everything 1921 starring Gloria Swanson and Her Husband's Trademark 1922 with Gloria Swanson and directed by Cecil B. DeMille Love 1927 and Anna Karenina starring Greta Garbo. She also wrote two semi-autobiographical literary works: the short story collection Doorways in Drumorty 1925 and the present novel Dark Star 1929 which was adapted as the film Min and Bill in 1930. Both were based on her childhood in a small inward looking town in Scotland and explore similar themes including "the particular codes and conventions created by such a closed community patterns of surveillance strictures of public morality evidence of private despair. They engage with the margins of this world presenting itinerants outcasts and misfits with a distinct lack of sentimentality. Low's work is also striking in its awareness of the position of women in the community: her stories deal with minutiae with networks of power which operate in apparently insignificant areas" ODNB. Though Hersholt one of the leading Hollywood actors of the early 20th century never appeared in a film written by Low the two may have been acquainted either socially or professionally. The bookplate records that this copy was donated by Hersholt to the Motion Picture Country House a retirement community for Hollywood figures that as president of the Motion Picture Relief Fund he was instrumental in founding in 1940. A lovely copy uncommon in such nice condition with an excellent association. Octavo. Original black cloth white cloth backstrip titles to spine in black and red red top-stain. With dust jacket. A little pale spotting to boards top stain faded. An excellent copy in the jacket with faded spine panel a few minor nicks and a short closed tear to the lower panel. hardcover

19681505401968. Original album of this iconic work boldly signed by legendary musician Pete Townshend on the front panel. In very good condition. Record is included. Magic Bus: The Who on Tour is a 1968 compilation album by the British rock band The Who released exclusively in the United States by Decca Records. Despite the title’s implication of a live performance the album does not feature concert recordings; rather it assembles previously released studio tracks from earlier albums and singles such as “Run Run Run†“Doctor Doctor†and the hit single “Magic Bus.†Issued to capitalize on the commercial momentum generated by the success of that single the compilation served as a marketing strategy to sustain The Who’s growing popularity in the American market. While not considered part of the band’s core discography by the members themselves Magic Bus: The Who on Tour remains an interesting artifact of late-1960s rock culture and the record industry’s efforts to package and promote British Invasion artists to a transatlantic audience. unknown

A most unusual Christmas gift annual.</p><p><b>William Moon</b> contracted smallpox as a young child and by age 22 had lost his sight completely. Frustrated by the quality of embossed reading systems he had tried he developed his own system based on roman lettering with portions of the letters omitted in order to make the characters more discernible to the touch. Moon's system was easy to master particularly for those who had learned to read before losing their sight and it became very successful. However nowadays examples are rarely encountered.</p> Moon Society paperback books

The most renowned female screenwriter of the 20th century and one of the most respected scriptwriters of any gender Frances Marion was the first writer to win two Academy Awards for her writing on The Big House 1930 and The Champ 1931 and the first woman to win an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. She served in Europe as a combat correspondent during World War I after which she moved to Los Angeles and was employed by director Lois Weber as an assistant in which position she received a thorough apprenticeship in the film industry. She began writing scripts and attracted the attention of Mary Pickford. The pair began a long relationship as both friends and artists with Marion serving as Pickford's official screenwriter. She wrote many of Pickford's most famous and memorable silent films as well as many other of the great successful pictures of the 1920s and 1930s and has been credited with writing 300 scripts and over 130 produced films. Her influence resurrected the career of Marie Dressler and resulted in her greatest glory and her scripts for Marion Davies are among the most memorable of that actress' oeuvre. She died in 1973 one of the most respected names in Hollywood history. 1335701. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. The Bobbs-Merrill Company hardcover books
