Although undated the commercial architectural scenes include images of readily identifiable cars including 1965 Dodge GTO 1964 Camaro 1964-5 Mustang as well as 1962 Ford Falcon and also mentions the increasing use of colour for television broadcasting. In addition many of the scenes include those for the very popular Western genre films and shows during the Mid-20th-Century and some very distinctive Mid-Century Modern homes and exteriors are presented here as well. Two of the extra-illustrated scenes appear to depict a bucolic Northern California countryside of rolling hills and spreading trees above which measured 18 x 20 feet each to tie-in with one another; while the others focus on a tropical backdrop. Scenic Backgrounds Inc. appears to have been founded sometime around 1950-1952 with the introduction indicating that they had employed the best artists for over 12 years. In addition the Company appears in none of the contemporary street directories or trade journals we could search however it did place advertisements in some of the contemporary magazines and appeared to operate until about 1970. Whether Joe Minneci was an owner it is difficult to determine but originally the Minneci’s lived in West Los Angeles in the Fairfax area before moving to Encino. Often these scene and backdrop companies would rent out their scenery to stage productions opera houses and even fraternal order productions. These original sales catalogues for this essential part of the film and television industry are quite scarce. No copies in Worldcat. Scenic Backgrounds, Inc., 848 North La Brea Avenue, unknown

The archive includes images of prominent figures such as James Earl Jones Whoopi Goldberg Yaphet Kotto Sammy Davis Jr. Paul Winfield Marlon Riggs and John Witherspoon alongside performers associated with Amos & Andy one of the earliest nationally syndicated television programs featuring a Black cast.

LUMINOUS PROCURESS 1971 Set of 2 photos

1971WALTER-FILM006450New Line Cinema. No binding. Fine. New York: New Line Cinema 1971. Pair of vintage original 8 x 10" 20 x 25 cm. black-and-white print still photos fine. Very scarce photos from the only feature film of experimental film director Steven Arnold. He curated the Nocturnal Dreamshows at the Palace Theater in San Francisco where The Cockettes got their start. "In 1969 Arnold began filming Luminous Procuress which went on to win him the 1972 New Director's Award at the San Francisco International Film Festival an extended exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art and a second invite to Cannes' Directors' Fortnight. Salvador Dali was so impressed with the film that he arranged a private screening at the St. Regis Hotel to which he invited New York's elite including Andy Warhol who also praised the film's genius. Arnold became a favorite of Dali's and in 1974 went to study with the master in Spain helping Dali to embellish and inaugurate his Museo-Teatro Dali.After returning to California and failing to make any progress on other film projects Arnold was driven to find new modes of expression. By establishing his Los Angeles photography studio and west-coast salon Zanzibar Arnold did just that."From 1982-89 Steven Arnold found his niche designing and shooting tableau-vivants for four books leaving thousands of living tableau photographs and negatives unpublished. He also left behind a social legacy in Los Angeles which according to many who saw Zanzibar at its height has never been equaled. Arnold adored the vast cross-section of society represented at his nightly Salons but also culled inspiration from his dreams world religions sexuality fine art masterpieces Jungian archetypes social attitudes excess and artifice working all night and waking each afternoon to sketch dreams and visions into his growing collection of sketchbooks. In addition to his photography Arnold also translated these drawings into a large body of paintings and assemblage sculpture between 1990 and his early death in 1994." wikipedia.comLuminous Procuress is a surreal fantasy film in which two young men enter an alternate reality of what the photo describes as "AUTOMATONS TRANSVESTITES SUFI HOLYMEN MALE NUNS MIMES MONKEYS VEGETABLES PEOPLE WHORES MUSCLEMEN QUPIE DOLLS FAIRY GODMOTHERS AND ART MODELES." This is one of a tiny number of 1970s films in which The Cockettes appeared. New Line Cinema
