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

198726560Winchester: St. Paul's Bibliographies 1987. cloth dust jacket. Children's Books. 8vo. cloth dust jacket. xxix 142 pages. First edition. Mary Elliott then Mary Belson began writing for children in 1809 at a time when increasing literacy and wealth and more progressive understanding of the reading needs of children were creating a growing demand for more and more books for young people. Beginning with two books in verse - one a lively tale about town and country mice the other an anthology including many of her own poems - she went on to produce a stream of books on a variety of subjects. Her stories some eventful and exciting were mostly about real children learning to tackle the everyday circumstances and difficulties which they encountered in the world around them. <BR><br /> These books were made all the more attractive by her publisher William Darton who provided them with entertaining illustrations many of them interesting today for their depiction of contemporary scenes and fashions. Mary Elliott's books soon spread across the Atlantic and American publishers reissued many of them sometimes adapting the text to local circumstances. Although her books are now forgotten they cannot be disregarded by researchers into the history of childhood and of children's literature. This bibliography contains about 470 entries detailing not only each known edition of her books but also the picture-sheets reward cards and combined volumes of assorted tales and verses.

199032779Winchester: St Paul's Bibliographies 1990. cloth. Children's Books. 8vo. cloth. xvii 180 pages. First edition. In the early nineteenth century the prevailing influence in children's books was the promotion of morality coupled with instruction and fairy-tales and such-like improper subjects were widely discouraged. So Benjamin Tabart showed no little courage when within three years of opening his Juvenile Library in Bond Street he launched out into the publication of a series of well-produced fairy-tales and nursery stories.<BR><br /> <BR><br /> During his short publishing career he continued to provide children's bookshelves with light-hearted attractive-looking books for which he employed excellent artists and some of the best children's writers of the day. Many of his publications are now very scarce but Marjorie Moon has recorded about a hundred and ninety titles often in several editions which have survived the hazards of nursery life. Since Mr. Tabert was not only a publisher but also a bookseller part two of this bibliography includes other titles which he advertized as being on sale in his shop.<BR><br /> <BR><br /> An introduction discussing Tabart's publishing career his family life and the very close connection between Tabart and the prolific publisher Sir Richard Phillips is included. Brian Alderson has contributed an appendix on the illustrating of two of Tabart's picture-books and another appendix reprints William Goodwin's remarkable preface to his book of Bible stories which so horrified Mrs. Trimmer the self-appointed critic of Georgian children's reading matter.
