1918158606N.p.: N.p. 1918. Vintage borderless vernacular photograph of actor Charlie Chaplin writer Upton Sinclair and editor and publisher Rob Wagner on the set of the 1918 silent film. Annotations in manuscript ink on the verso identifying subjects. <br /> <br /> Wagner was the editor and publisher of "Script" a left-leaning weekly literary film magazine published in Beverly Hills between 1929 and 1949. A lifelong Socialist and advocate for progressive causes Wagner used "Script" to give a voice to blacklisted screenwriters including Dalton Trumbo and Gordon Kahn and prominent leftists including Sinclair Max Eastman and William C. deMille. <br /> <br /> Wagner served as something of a father figure to Chaplin who was about 17 years Wagner's junior after the two men met sometime in the mid-1910s. The pair formed a close friendship with Wagner serving as Chaplin's part-time secretary for a period and accompanying the actor on his Third Liberty Loan tour through the American south in 1918. Wagner introduced Chaplin to Sinclair and Max Eastman and together the three writers exerted a strong influence over Chaplin's political world view. Chaplin would go on to co-found the Motion Picture Relief Fund which later became the Motion Picture and Television Fund with Wagner in 1929. <br /> <br /> Approximately 5 x 4 inches. About Near Fine lightly age toned. N.p. unknown
1944WRCLIT60306Los Angeles: Paramount Pictures 1944. Two volumes each foliated in reel/page format as: 11097101110108 leaves. Quarto. Mimeographed typescript printed on rectos only. Second item stapled at left margin first formerly stapled. Some corner creases "Master File Copy" and production number stamps on title leaf of first item pencil annotations name and ink file number on title leaf of second. Very good. Two late production states of the script for the 1945 film based on a story idea by Jack Wagner cowritten with John Steinbeck and adapted as a screenplay by Frank Butler. The release dialogue script records a print totaling 51 more feet than the censorship script. Irving Pichel directed and Dorothy Lamour J. Carrol Naish and Arturo de Cordova led the cast. Obviously little apart from Steinbeck's treatment for the film the Valentine collection included a carbon typescript may be easily identified as purely Steinbeck's work; however nothing relating to the script saw lifetime publication so even continuity scripts such as these take on some significance for Steinbeck scholars.
