1919152865N.p.: N.p. 1919. Vintage album housing 49 vintage reference photographs from the 1919 silent film most showing noted early film star William Farnum. Of particular note in the album is a photograph of Farnum on the set with actors Lamar Johnstone and Charles Clary holding bouquets of flowers ostensibly at the end of the shoot. <br /> <br /> Laid in with the album is a small newspaper clipping from the Los Angeles Evening Herald showing a photograph of Farnum with his wife and stepson and noting Farnum's adoption of his stepson with a small manuscript ink annotation presumably made by Farnum at the top of the clipping: "It was raining I wore all my old duds-darn it I wasn't ready."<br /> <br /> A wealthy married mining engineer suffers amnesia after being injured in a mining explosion planned by his business rivals and is forced to seek shelter with a Chilean shepherd and the shepherd's daughter with whom he falls in love. Now considered a lost film. <br /> <br /> At the peak of his success Farnum was one of the highest-paid actors of the silent film age but was forced into an early semi-retirement after being injured on the set of the 1924 film "The Man Who Fights Alone." He appeared sporadically in character roles throughout the late 1920s 1930s and 1940s and enjoyed a successful career on Broadway.<br /> <br /> Photographs generally 10 x 8 inches. Near Fine. <br /> <br /> Album 12 x 8.25 inches. Very Good plus lightly soiled and creased. N.p. unknown

1963134888Hollywood: Paramount Pictures 1963. Revised Final White script for the 1963 film. Copy belonging to a crew member presumed with annotations in holograph ink and pencil on both sides of the first page. <br/><br/>Based on a screenplay by Jacqueline "Jay" Presson Allen a romantic comedy about unsuccessful writer Bill Austin Johnson who lives in New York with his wife Bertie Leigh. Their lives change dramatically when Bill's first novel becomes a bestseller and he persuades Bertie to quit her job and move to the suburbs. Bill begins working long hours on Broadway adapting his novel for the theater and he spends more and more time with his attractive agent Lucinda Ford Hyer. Bertie is suspicious and begins courting actor Gar Aldrich Jeremy Slate. <br/> <br/>Set in New York shot on location in California. Edith Head was nominated for an Oscar for her costume designs. <br/><br/>Playwright and screenwriter Jay Allen was living in New York when she wrote the screenplay performing on radio and in cabaret both of which she loathed so much that she tried to get fired from nearly every production. After a long period of writer's block she started writing again and sold some of her work to live television programs like "The Philco Television Playhouse." When she married Lewis M. Allen in 1955 they moved to the countryside where Allen had a baby and spent two and a half "absolutely wonderful years in the country."<br/><br/>Eventually the couple came back to the city to work. Allen drew on her married life and wrote "The First Wife" a witty script about a suburban working couple. When Allen read Muriel Spark's "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" she instantly saw the books potential for stage adaptation. After undergoing hypnotherapy to alleviate another bout of writer's block Allen produced a draft of the play in three days. <br/><br/>Allen's notable film credits as screenwriter include "Marnie" 1964 "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" 1969 "Cabaret" 1972 "A Star Is Born" 1976 "Deathtrap" and "The Verdict" both 1982 and "Lord of the Flies" 1990. <br/><br/>Self wrappers noted as REVISED FINAL WHITE SCRIPT on the front wrapper rubber-stamped copy No. 107 and production No. 10228 dated February 1 1963 with a credit for screenwriter Anhalt.

1948139884Rome Roma: Lux Film 1948. Two vintage French borderless still photographs from the 1948 Italian film. Both images depict African American actor John Kitzmiller. Foto Franci rubber stamp to the verso alongside various holograph annotations in pencil and red felt ink. <br/><br/>At the close of World War II an African American sergeant struggles with the temptation to sell ex-military supplies to the black market finally caving to pressure in order to save a woman with whom he has fallen in love. Though released in the US a year after its Italian debut it would quickly be banned there and in British-occupied Germany. In part the censorship was due to the film's depiction of interracial romance less offensive in Europe than in the US though moreso for its sociopolitical assertion about the state of race relations in the United States: after World War II scores of African American GIs chose to go AWOL rather than return to discrimination. <br/><br/>Set in Northern Italy shot on location in Tuscany Italy. <br/><br/>7 x 9.5 inches.
