[Film scripts] Dashiell Hammett (novel, screenwriter)
Screenplay for The Thin Man Sequel After the Thin Man Original screenplay Hammett's copy with holograph correction
Beverly Hills CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer MGM 1935. Dashiell Hammett's original submitted Treatment script for the first sequel to "The Thin Man" here referred to only as "Thin Man Sequel" and ultimately titled "After the Thin Man." With a single manuscript correction by Hammett and letter of provenance from Hammett's daughter Josephine Hammett Marshall regarding the discovery of the treatment in the family's estate. <br /> <br /> The first "Thin Man" film released in 1934 and based on Hammett's novel was a smash hit and is today a key film in the American screwball comedy cycle. Five sequels were made between 1936 and 1947 all starring the original acting team of William Powell and Myrna Loy and this previously unknown attempt at a sequel by Hammett was clearly commissioned by MGM but never produced making this script an entire unpublished Hammett work. The story is a completely original one never reworked for the other films very much written in Hammett's trademark style and reading a bit more like a story treatment i.e. a novel than a final screenplay which is likely as far as the story got on the road to production. <br /> <br /> The piece is dated Sept. 17 1935 at the lower right corner of the front panel along with Hammett's name and Hammett's name is noted in pencil next to the title label though not in Hammett's hand. There is only one single-word correction to the entire text at page 83 in Hammett's hand where the word "compact" is replaced with "cigarette case." <br /> <br /> Accompanying the screenplay is a typed letter signed from Hammett's daughter who edited a recently published collection of Hammett's letters on her personal stationery stating that the screenplay was discovered by Hammett's wife in 1980 and that it had been a part of the family's estate until that time. Probably one of only 2-3 copies that could have been produced and very possibly the only copy extant. To our knowledge no other copy of this story in any form has ever been recorded at auction or sold on the market. <br /> <br /> Light blue titled wrappers with the white MGM studio label present manuscript pencil notation of Hammett's name secretarial rubber-stamped COMPLETE dated September 17 1935 with a single credit for Hammett. 115 leaves mimeograph duplication. Pages and wrapper Very Good plus bound with two gold brads. In a custom clamshell box. <br /> <br /> Full pagination available upon request. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer [MGM] unknown

[Film] [Art] Harold Adler (letterer); Alfred Hitchcock (director); Daphne Du Maurier (story); Evan Hunter (screenwriter); Tippi
The Birds Archive of three original title card maquettes for the 1963 film
Universal City CA: Universal Pictures 1986. Archive of three title card maquettes hand lettered by Harold Adler for the 1963 film. Also included are two fascinating autograph letters both elaborately designed and executed in a calligraphic style from Adler to author illustrator and editor Fridolf Johnson relating to Adler's work with Hitchcock. <br /> <br /> Harold Adler was a calligrapher who created hand lettered titles on over 100 films worked frequently with Alfred Hitchcock and was a favorite of legendary title sequence designers Saul Bass and Pablo Ferro. In addition to "The Birds" 1963 his credits include "Comanche!" 1956 "The Man with the Golden Arm" 1955 "The Seven Year Itch" 1955 "Carmen Jones" 1954 "Psycho" 1960 "In the Heat of the Night" 1967 and "Justine" 1969. <br /> <br /> In 2012 an exhibition of Adler's work was organized by noted typographer and design historian Jill Bell at the American Advertising Federation Kansas City. <br /> <br /> In the first letter dated May 16 1986 Adler describes after touching on other topics meeting Hitchcock and then presenting him with layout ideas for the titles. He then goes into detail regarding his answer to a question about the techniques of artist Eric Gill stating that Hitchcock "was amazed" by this answer and after that would "request 'to be sure to bring that nice young man along" meaning Adler whenever he had a job for Adler's firm. <br /> <br /> The second letter dated June 10th 1986 focuses almost exclusively on Adler's work on "The Birds" going into some detail regarding both the creative and technical processes of producing hand lettered titles for films. He also describes Hitchcock as "an unusual person to work with. He was a master at what he did knew what he wanted and smoked the finest cigars." He then concludes the letter with some brief remarks on how his approach to title lettering evolved over the course of his career. <br /> <br /> The letters themselves are works of art executed in a variety of inks in Adler's detailed penmanship with Johnson's name on each in particular receiving full calligraphic treatment. <br /> <br /> Also included are draft title cards for the film stylistically similar to each other but much different from the titles used in the finished film. Two of the cards are marked as "camera ready" in manuscript colored pencil with titles executed in white paint on black board. The third card photo stat on black paper which accompanied the June 10th letter has been annotated by Adler on both the recto and verso explaining the in more detail the technical process of putting the lettering on film. <br /> <br /> Overall a significant collection of material illuminating a little explored aspect of film design with a direct and significant connection to a seminal work by a director known for personally overseeing all aspects of production. <br /> <br /> Each letter 19 x 24 inches single leaf rectos only. May 16th letter folded twice for mailing June 10th letter folded. Two long diagonal creases to the May 16th letter else both are Fine. Original mailing envelope for the May 16th letter included. <br /> <br /> "Camera ready" title cards 22 x 14 inches. Lightly rubbed and about Near Fine. Third card 18 x 4 inches.

[Iron Eyes Cody] William C. Edwards (screenwriter)
The Amulet Original screenplay for an unproduced Western film copy belonging to Iron Eyes Cody
Las Vegas: Nevada Film Productions 1954. Draft script for an unproduced Western film. Copy belonging to actor Iron Eyes Cody who was apparently considered for a role in the film with his annotations in manuscript ink on the front wrapper and throughout providing commentary on the representation of Native Americans.<br /> <br /> In the 1970s there were few faces more ubiquitous than that of Iron Eyes Cody owing largely to his memorable appearance as the “crying Indian†in the Keep America Beautiful public service announcement originally released on Earth Day 1971 and aired throughout the 1970s. Cody identified publicly and privately as Native American throughout his entire adult life despite it being revealed in the mid-1990s that he was in fact a second-generation Italian American. <br /> <br /> Cody appeared in more than 200 films and over a hundred television programs from the 1920s through the 1980s. Originally taking the name "Iron Eyes" for the 1948 Western comedy film "The Paleface" Cody maintained the moniker for the rest of his career and would frequently wear his Hollywood costumes in his day-to-day life. In 1936 Cody married Native-American archaeologist Bertha Parker Pallan and the pair adopted two children of Dakota-Maricopa descent. <br /> <br /> In 1996 New Orleans newspaper "The Times-Picayune" would publish an article revealing that Cody was born Espera Oscar de Corti in Kaplan Louisiana the child of Sicilian immigrants. The story was corroborated by Cody’s half-sister May Abshire and by several legal documents including baptismal records. Cody would nevertheless insist that he was Native American and deny his Italian heritage until his death in 1999. <br /> <br /> Red titled wrappers. Title page present undated with credit for screenwriter William C. Edwards. 90 leaves with last page of text numbered 89. Mimeograph duplication rectos only.

[Mark Twain (original novel); Edwin S. Porter (director); Hugh Ford (screenwriter); Marguerite Clark (starring)].
The Prince and the Pauper
<p>Mark Twain original novel; Edwin S. Porter director; Hugh Ford screenwriter; Marguerite Clark starring. The Prince and the Pauper. New York: Capitol Theatre August 13th 1922. Original handbill for a week-long run of the second silent adaptation of The Prince and the Pauper originally released in 1915. Octavo 7 x 9.125 inches; 175 x 232 mm. Single leaf printed both sides with screening information on the recto and a collage with three images from the film and a quote from S. L. "Roxy" Rothafel on the verso. Margins a little wrinkled with a couple soft creases in the corners; two faint fox marks on the recto and just a hint of soiling on the verso. Near fine.<br /><br />The Prince and the Pauper was initially adapted as a two-reel Edison production in 1909. Famous Players Lasky revisited the source material in 1915 releasing a five-reel feature that November when feature-length film making was less than two years old in the United States. It starred Marguerite Clark in a dual role. By 1922 the conventional shelf-life of a silent film made in 1915 would have long expired likely to be melted down for silver why most films form the silent era are lost. Many of the films from major studios that survived did so because they were hits continuously in demand or because they were forgotten about by the end of their distribution runs either could have been reason enough to book something for a theatre manager as creative as Roxy Rothafel who later opened the Roxy and Radio City Music Hall in New York. The Capitol Theatre opened in October 1919. "Progressive Silent Film List" silentera.com. #10289.</p> Capitol Theatre, paperback
