193090767Arlington Fl. now part of Jacksonville: Produced by Norman Studios 1930. Good. Complete set of 8 brown tinted Lobby Cards. 36 x 28 cm. Multiple pinholes at corners where these were probably displayed in a theater lobby. Other foxing and wear mostly in margins. This movie starred Laurence Criner in his first role and Kathryn Boyd in the first of her two known roles. This movie is the only Norman Studios movie that is known to have survived. The normanstudios.org website says that not much is known about Boyd although it is believed that she was Criner's wife. That website goes on to say that her portrayal of Ruth Sawtelle as ".a beautiful and bold young woman determined to learn to fly a plane" in the movie was possibly inspired by the life of Bessie Coleman. Norman had discussed the possibility of Coleman starring in a movie. Coleman died in a plane crash in April 1930. "The Flying Ace" was fimed later that same year. Produced by Norman Studios unknown

First edition thus of this exceedingly scarce and extra-illustrated sample catalogue for scenic backdrops in order to lower production costs on movie and television production by offering ready-made and large painted scene flats for studios & theaters. These here include depictions of Residential Western & Commercial Architectural backdrops City Skylines Western Parks Hills & Mountains and Tropical Landscapes Skies & Clouds Transportation Miscellaneous and birds-eye cityscape profiles. Available sizes range from 14 x 19 feet up to 20 x 40 feet and include surrealistic backdrops animated and those with signage. 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
