WALTER-FILM007819Paramount. No binding. Near Fine. Los Angeles: Paramount 1929. Vintage original 8 x 10" 20 x 25 cm black-and-white glossy silver gelatin photo. Minor soiling to edges crease at bottom right corner 1929 holograph note on verso. Near fine. Rare is this image of cast with crew so many waiting to be identified with many of the top artists at Paramount Studios. The film is notable for being both the debut of Jeanette MacDonald and the first talkie film made by Ernst Lubitsch. The picture was also released in a French-language version called Parade d'amour. Maurice Chevalier thought he would never be capable of acting as a royal courtier and had to be persuaded by Lubitsch. This huge box-office hit appeared just after the Wall Street crash and did much to save the fortunes of Paramount Studios. The major players of this groundbreaking early sound musical are present in the front row including Lupino Lane Lubitsch MacDonald Chevalier and likely cinematographer Victor Milner at left behind Jeanette. He won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography. He and Lubitsch are mentioned in the handwritten note on verso. The notations also specifically indicate the filming dates of June July and August 1929. Paramount unknown

WALTER-FILM000763No binding. Very Good. Photo Vintage original 7 x 9 "" 17 x 23 cm. black-and-white single weight semi-glossy print still photo Spain. A very unusual exterior display for the film during its first release in Spain during the Spring of 1961. In Spanish-speaking countries the film was titled Psicosis. Hitchcock was so popular in these countries by 1960 that his image would greatly enhance the selling of a film. The famous cut out of Hitchcock pointing to his watch was installed inside and outside all theatres showing the film indicating that no patrons would be allowed into the theatre once the film had started. Two different posters and five lobby cards for the film are displayed. There is a crease near the top left corner and a tiny professionally repaired tear along the bottom white margin ABOUT FINE. -moviephoto -psycho -hitchcock unknown books
WALTER-FILM000759No binding. Very Good. Photo Vintage original 8 x 10"" 20 x 25 cm. black-and-white single weight glossy silver gelatin print still photo USA. Clive Brook H. Reeves-Smith Betty Lawford Charles Hay Phillips Holmes Donald Crisp dir: Basil Dean; Paramount. The very first Sherlock Holmes film to be produced with sound and in which the immortal line ""Elementary my dear Watson"" was uttered on-screen though it does not appear in the writings of Arthur Canon Doyle. Made at the Paramount Kaufman Astoria Studios in New York and employing actors of the theatre this early Holmes effort is an antique curiosity today full of gadgets and gizmos which have little to do with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The story also updated the setting to the present day. Clive Brook was known for his understated interpretation of the main character and he featured at right along with H. Reeves Smith as Dr. Watson and Betty Lawford as Marry Watson. Unfortunately the sound disks to this film are presently lost. Still 1221-36 includes the Paramount logo and title information along the bottom blank white margin. Actor's names written in pencil on verso. Right blank white margin edge a bit irregularly trimmed for publication NEAR FINE. unknown books

WALTER-FILM007776Paramount. No binding. Just About Fine. Los Angeles: Paramount Pictures 1929. Set of 12 vintage original 8 x 10" 20 x 25 cm black-and-white photos one with mimeographed text on verso three with the film's title stamped on verso overall just about fine. Josef von Sternberg's first talking film. Some historians credit his importance in the evolution of gangster films with his UNDERWORLD 1927. This was by any standard the first significant talking gangster film. It tells the story of a criminal facing execution who wants to kill the man in the next cell for being in love with his former girlfriend. Sternberg experimented with asynchronous sound effects which served to augment or supplement the visual effects or as he framed the process "To be correctly and effectively used the sound had to bring to the image a quality other than what the lens included a quality out of the range of the image. Sound had to counterpoint or compensate for the image add to it – not subtract from it." Rather than the external and complementary musical accompaniment of silent films Sternberg's scores arise organically with the mise-en-scène and form a key component of the film. The music off-screen does not recede in deference to the on-screen dialogue but competes with it. Off-screen voices comment on the visual action but are not identified visually until later in the film sequence contributing to an "unrealistic cadence" that characterizes the film's dialogue. Film historian Andrew Sarris describes it as "a startling experiment. his use of sound and music for mood effects and the very unreality of his style seems to justify the unusual density of his sound track." Sternberg also uses sound expressionistically such as the erratic start-stop of a sewing machine or the "sinister" squeaking of a dog's ball toy squeezed by the condemned criminal in the hours before his death.

192212673St. Louis 1922. Broadside 11.25 x 14.25 inches. Tanned short closed diagonal tear on right edge left edge a bit frayed tiny hip to top right corner otherwise minor edge wear. Fragile but in good condition. An unrecorded promotional broadside recruiting membership in the short-lived Paramount Progressive Order of Moose PPOM an African-American fraternal organization founded in the early-1920s by H.A. Stewart of St. Louis. The organization was created to serve the needs of the African-American community after the Loyal Order of Moose refused to admit Black members. The PPOM was gone by the 1930s following lawsuits from the Loyal Order of Moose who claimed infringement due to the PPOM's use of similar imagery. Still the PPOM offered members a number of benefits during its operations. According to the present broadside which asks "WHY NOT JOIN THE MOOSE" and touts itself as "One of the Most Progressive Orders" above the moose-centric logo at upper center the PPOM was "Now Open to Men and Women Between the Ages of 18 and 50 Years." Members could enjoy "Free Medical Aid" as well as sick and death benefits. Membership was $6 for men and half that for women with women receiving $3 sick benefits as opposed to $5 for men and $150 death benefit men received $200. Potential members are asked to contact the Grad Supervisor but the name city and state for said person is not filled in. A wonderful and evocative promotional broadside for an important though short-lived St. Louis-based African-American mutual aid society with no copies reported in OCLC. unknown
