VINTAGE MGM STUDIO SIGN - MYRNA LOY BUILDINGBiblio.com

Original Metal Blue & Gold Sign for the Metro--Goldwyn-Mayer - Myrna Loy Studio Building

197016443JCulver City: Metro-Golwyn-Mayer Studios 1970s. The original "Myrna Loy Building" metal sign from the M.G.M. Hollywood Studio lot. In the 1970s the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studio started naming various buildings after their classic film stars. Myrna Loy was alive and well at the time of the naming of her building. This sign was acquired by a gentleman who worked as a carpenter on the lot for many years. His accompanying letter reads: During the middle 1980's 85 to 89 I Michael McGovern worked at the old M.G.M. lot Studios in Culver City California in the Permanent Construction Dept. The lot was sold several times in this time frame. At one point before the now Sony Studios it was owned and named Lorimar Telepictues. When the lot was Lorimar Telepictures they were painting and changing the M.G.M. lot to the new Lorimar "look." Thus the signs Blue and Gold naming the building after the old M.G.M. stars were taken down and replaced with the new signs brown and white that matched the Lorimar colors. I asked my boss if it was OK to keep the signs I changed and he said it was fine with him. Myrna Loy is best known for her portrayal of "Nora Charles" in six Thin Man films with William Powell of the 1930s but also starred in Manhattan Melodrama Libeled Lady Test Pilot The Best Years of our Lives Cheaper by the Dozen and From the Terrace. Her film career spanned more than 50 years Accompanied by a copy of Mr. McGovern's "Prop Maker" ID card. The sign measures 18 1/2 x 8 1/4 inches and presents with some obvious wear from the elements like extremely small areas of rust and signs of use overall in excellent condition. Today the studio lot is owned by Sony and it houses both Sony Pictures and Columbia Pictures. The Myrna Loy Building which was the old MGM sound department exists and it still proudly bears her name.

Studio Portraits Showing the Vibrant African American Community in the Miami Suburb of Overtown

1920BB.23.031Silver prints 24; Each 5 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches; Some with "Nu Way Photo Shoppe" stamp verso one with Hicks Photo Studio embossed credit stamp some with subject identification recto or verso.Collection of real photo postcard studio-portraits of the African American community of Miami Florida in the 1920s-40s.Eighteen of the photographs are from the "Nu Way Photo Shoppe" a commercial studio located at 939 N.W. 2nd Avenue in the Overtown neighborhood of Miami.The firm was opened by David Jenkins in the early 1940s and catered to a Black clientele. A 1942 issue of "The Crisis" advertises Jenkins' work in Overtown and notes that many of the photographs illustrating the issue were shot by his firm. Included in the collection are portraits of two young women posed proudly in her graduation uniform an identified soldier alongside his sister dapper men in pinstripe suits two-tone shoes and panama hats and equally sharp-dressed women.There are six other photographs from other Miami-area studios. One of a woman seated has an embossed stamp for "Hicks Studio." Run by proprietor James E. Hicks the Hicks Studio was also located in Overtown at 225 N.W. 8th Street and is mentioned in the same issue of "The Crisis." Also included are a fun pair of photos showing a coolly-posed man in an all white suit and a second image showing him with a woman elegantly-clad in all white as well. There are also two photographs in front of the same tropical-backdrop one of a man dressed in a suit with tails holding a cane and bowler and the other of a man and woman. One of the last two photos show a woman in lavish evening wear and the other shows a couple in more conservative attire.The second-oldest continuously inhabited Miami-area neighborhood after Coconut Grove Overtown is located just northwest of downtown. The area was originally settled in the late 19th-century by African American laborers who worked on the construction of the Florida East Coast Railway. Originally known as "Colored Town" it was one of the few places in Miami where black residents were allowed to live. During the early 20th-century Overtown became a thriving cultural center for Miami's black community with numerous businesses restaurants and nightclubs built primarily along Northwest 2nd Avenue where the Nu-Way Photo Shoppe was located. Its thriving Jazz scene earned Overtown the nickname "Little Harlem."In the 1960s Overtown was largely demolished to make way for the construction of Interstate 95 which cut through the heart of the neighborhood. Many homes and businesses were destroyed and the highway effectively cut Overtown off from downtown Miami and the rest of the city. Today revitalization efforts are in place including the restoration of the neighborhood's historic Lyric Theatre.

Photographically-Illustrated Broadside Advertising a Lecture on Whistler by W.M. Chase

1901EPH25-04Platinum print affixed to paper 20 x 25 inches overall Broadside with affixed platinum print photograph attached to board with red wax. With Randall's signature recto.A large and handsome broadside advertising a lecture entitled "Whistler the Man and His Art" which was delivered by William Merritt Chase at the photo studio of Herbert Randall in New Haven Connecticut and was sponsored by the city's Paint and Clay Club. The advertisement also lists the patronesses of the lecture and is illustrated by a stately portrait of Chase which was taken by Randall. American artists William Merritt Chase and James McNeill Whistler had to put it simply a complicated relationship. They met in the 1870s. Chase was already an admirer of Whistler who was more than ten years his senior and already very well-known. At first they struck up a friendship and at one point agreed to paint each other's portrait with the intention of exhibiting the two together. Chase painted a full size portrait of Whistler which he called "The Public Whistler." For this work Chase departed from his typical vibrant painting technique and mimicked Whistler's muted colors and style. In the meantime the two men's relationship began to strain as they traveled together and argued frequently. The final straw was Chase showing his portrait of Whistler without the latter in New York. The press coverage of the show presented the painting as an accurate ridiculing of Whistler's likeness and style and Whistler was insulted and declared himself finished with Chase and their friendship. Whistler's portrait of Chase has never been shown and in all likelihood was destroyed. Beginning around 1901 in what could perhaps be understood as an attempt to rewrite history or at least sway public perception of their relationship Chase began to tour with a lecture on his one-time close companion. Titled "Whistler: Man and his Art." Though he spoke of Whistler's hot-tempered nature the lecture was by all accounts a warm one. One review published in the Morris County Chronicle in 1902 recounts that Chase "gave an interesting description" of Whistler "consisting of personal reminiscence and criticisms on his many works" and that Chase "set forth the character of the man by his loyal devotion to art." Whistler passed away in 1903 and Chase continued his talks until the end of the decade.
