‎Women Suffrage Theatre Marlowe Julia Genthe Arnold‎

‎Portrait of Julia Marlowe. Inscribed by Marlow to a Friend 1940‎

‎New York: Arnold Genthe 1920. Silver gelatin print 6 ¾ x 9 ¼ inches on larger mount. Signed by Genthe on the mount inscribed by Marlowe as Marlowe Sothern on the mount as follows: "To Jean: our little comrade on our walks in Beautiful Stockbridge. In remembrance also of 'Sun Yat Sen' and Choo-Chio Chow. September. 1940. Julia Marlowe Sothern. Very Good. An uncommon image of the actress feminist and suffrage advocate Julia Marlowe who adopted the name - though never legally - Julia Marlowe Sothern after working with the Shakespearean actor E.H. Sothern. Ill health led Marlowe to retire from the stage in 1924 and she was seldom seen in public. This photograph inscribed later in her life is an uncommon relic from her reclusive later years. We can find no record of a Jean or the names mentioned. <br /> <br /> Arnold Genthe who famously photographed the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 from the site of his destroyed studio moved to New York in 1911 where he became a portrait photographer. He most likely took this picture in his stint on the east coast. We find no other record of this specific portrait of Marlowe. Some silvering at margins otherwise excellent with some light normal tanning to mount. Arnold Genthe unknown books‎

‎Theatre Booth Edwin Gutekunst Joachim‎

‎Mammoth Albumen Portrait of Edwin Booth‎

‎Philadelphia: Studio of Joachim Gutekunst 1880. Mammoth albumen print on card mount with original gilt lettered mat 12 ¼ x 15 ¼ inches mat measuring 20 x 23 ½ inches. Very Good. Edwin Booth was a highly successful Shakespearean actor considered by some critics to be the greatest actor of his day. His career was complicated considerably by his relation to his brother John Wilkes Booth who Edwin would disown and refuse to mention following the assassination of President Lincoln Edwin rather poetically saved Abraham Lincoln's son Robert Todd Lincoln from possible death on a Jersey City train platform several months prior to the assassination pulling him up from between the tracks after he had been knocked off the train by a crowd. Booth had connections to Philadelphia owning a theatre there in the 1860s and this photograph was probably taken sometime after he had resumed his touring career after his Booth Theater in New York City closed in 1974 and judging from his age our best guess is that this was taken in the 1880s. Joachim Gutekunst was a highly prolific and successful photographer who enjoyed a four-decade career in Philadelphia with studios in various locations. We find no other record of this mammoth albumen portrait. A generally bright and well preserved print that has survived admirably with one small closed tear to the photograph of about half an inch.

‎Hardcover. Very Good. 4to. Red cloth scrapbook binding. An avid consumer of the performing arts’ account of notable productions through well-preserved and artfully assembled programs and clippings. In the creator’s own words this scrapbook is a “collection of programs of concerts – operas –plays – musical shows – but no ‘movies’ –– of more than passing interest.” These approximately 132 productions concentrated around 1926-1932 are only their favorites. Most of the productions included in this scrapbook were in the Los Angeles metropolitan area with some in New York and many across Europe in Rome Paris Glasgow Vienna London and Brussels. For every production the owner notes who they attended with. Dozens of LA Philharmonic programs under the direction L.E. Behymer were dates with “mother” as was a one week only Maurice Chevalier concert at the Biltmore.

‎Nautical. Mauritius. Theatre. Lewis J. Jacob.‎

‎Autograph letter signed J. Lewis American consul to Å’le de France Mauritius to the merchant house of Samuel Ward & Brothers of New York informing them that one of their ship captains has taken up with and plans to marry a French actress--this despite the fact that the captain "has a family near Boston in the town of Marblehead.‎

‎Mauritius August 3 1798. Some slight loss from the seals; a little browned and soiled; in very good condition. 3 pages on a folded sheet plus integral address 12.5 x 8 inches approx. 480 words. Scandal and affairs of the heart from the remote outposts of American commerce. The American consul to the French colony in the Indian Ocean here writes back to New York "I have to inform you of having dispatched your Ship Huron Capt. Brown for Newport R. Island she left this Colony on 26 May for Bourbon to complete her chargement & sailed from thence about 15 days after for America ñ I must add the malconduct of your Capt. here has been very injurious to the Voyage by forming a connection with a bad woman who came passenger with him from Bordeaut sic ñ with the greatest difficulty he was made to sail without taking this person with him however the whole Island interfered against it & prevented her leaving the Colony because she was a favourite Actress & much wanted on the Stage however she is placed here at the expence of Capt. Brown who has placed funds in the hands of Mr. Roussell Manssell to be appropriated for her benefit and althoí Mr. Roussell is not ignorant that he has a family near Boston in the town of Marblehead he has become the confident & friend in this vile business. Capt. Brown on his arrival addressed himself to me & after finishing a part of his business because I declined the propositions made me respecting the Woman I explained to him with candour his Faults he after placed his property with Mr. Roussell who has engaged to pay her expences until Capt. B. returns to marry her. . . . This favourite woman in question was bound jointly with the other players in the sum of Ten Thousand dollars that she would tarry three years in the Colony in that Company of course these persons opposed her departure. Capt. Brown in order to effect it in my presence offered to destroy a bill of exchange of Ten Thousand dollars which was the amount of the passage money for the same persons. Since that transaction I have been kept in the dark for having found fault with Capt. Bís conduct & threatening to put him in prison therefor - he did not choose to consult me thereafter." Lewis a Boston merchant had been appointed consul to Å’le de France by Adams and arrived in February 1798--but owing to the Quasi-War and the interruption of commerce betwen the United States and France arrived back in Boston with his family in June 1799. See the National Archives annotation to the summary memorial of Lewis to Thomas Jefferson March 20 1801. Captain Brown of the Huron is certainly Elias Brown; a notice in the Halifax N.C. Journal of October 15 1798 dated Newport September 15 reports the arrival of Brown and the Huron and news that he had prior to his adventures in love been boarded somewhere east of the Cape by the British frigate Garland on June 28--seven of his seamen were impressed and Brown was detained before escaping under cover of a squall. Brown further reports "that the national soldiers were all sent from the Isle de France but that the reports of it being declared independent are false." The first theatre troupe had been established in Port Louis in 1790 by a M. Laglaine though there was a hiatus after the smallpox epidemic of 1792 and one presumes the colonists were not likely to take kindly to seeing a keystone of their local entertainment whisked away by a Yankee merchant captain. For a glance at theatre in Mauritius and some sense of the upheavals on the island in 1798--though this affair does not seem to merit mention--see the 1840 memoir by Andre Maure Souvenirs d'un vieux colon de Maurice. Samuel Ward 1756-1832 the owner of the merchant brig Huron was a Revolutionary War veteran from a prominent Rhode Island family.
