Illustrated. Very rare inscribed. Darryl F. Zanuck 1902 - 1979 was one of the founding fathers of the modern American film industry. In 1929 he became head of production for Warner Brothers helping to successfully guide the studio out of the silent film era into sound. After establishing Warner Brothers’ film style with such classics as ‘The Jazz Singer’ ‘The Public Enemy’ and ‘I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang’ he broke out on his own in 1933 after a dispute over studio policy and went on to form Twentieth Century Films with support and backing from Louis B. Mayer and Joseph M. Schenck. In 1935 Twentieth absorbed the financially troubled Fox studios thus becoming Twentieth Century-Fox. He was an unusually active participant in the development of the films his studio was producing and established a reputation as the most ‘hands-on’ of the major studio bosses as this script indicates. As producer some of his best known films include ‘Les Miserables’ ‘Young Mr. Lincoln’ ‘Drums Along the Mohawk’ ‘The Grapes of Wrath’ ‘How Green Was My Valley’ ‘Gentlemen’s Agreement’ ‘All About Eve’ ‘Viva Zapata!’ ‘The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit’ ‘The Sun Also Rises’ and ‘The Longest Day’ which was nominated for an Oscar for Best Picture. Nunnally Johnson 1897 - 1977 left his career as a journalist and short story writer in New York for Hollywood and found work as a scriptwriter and was hired full-time as a writer by 20th Century-Fox in 1935. Not long after he began producing films as well and cofounded International Pictures in 1943 with William Goetz. Johnson was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Screenplay in 1940 for ‘The Grapes of Wrath’ and the Directors Guild of America Best Directors Award in 1956 for ‘The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit’. He is also the author of such classic films as ‘The Desert Fox: The Story of Rommel’ with Zanuck producing ‘The Prisoner of Shark Island’ ‘Jesse James’ ‘Tobacco Road’ ‘Three Came Home’ ‘The Keys to the Kingdom’ etc. Doubleday unknown books

196731602Boston: Trust Incorporated 1967. First Edition. Tabloid 17-1/2" x 12"; 24pp; illus. Horizontal fold as issued; very mild toning to extremities; a Near Fine example. The notorious "obscene" issue of cult leader Mel Lyman's idiosyncratic solipsistic and generally self-indulgent underground newspaper issued only in twenty-four issues between June 1967 and April 1968. Despite the paper's and Lyman's many failings Robert Glessing The Underground Press in America Bloomington: 1970 notes that The Avatar was ".experimental innovative and highly creative" and ".graphically one of the most sophisticated of the underground newspapers." <br/><br/>The current issue is justly famous in the annals of Sixties underground publishing. After the newspaper's staff was harassed on obscenity charges by Cambridge authorities the editors decided to run a double-page centerfold drawn by artist Eben Given made up entirely of obscene words in three-inch high letters. It was not the first or last attack on the censors in The Avatar but it was certainly the most visible and helped to increase the magazine's circulation to the mid five-figures. In the end it was neither a lack of funding or staff dissent that ultimately brought an end to The Avatar but rather the withdrawal of Lyman's support. By the spring of 1968 Lyman grew dissatisfied with the paper -- largely because the editors did not feature enough of his own writing -- and shut it down at the peak of its popularity.
