Lettre autographe signée à Laurent Tailhade
Louis Delluc (1890-1924), écrivain, scénariste, photographe, réalisateur. L.A.S., Paris, 1er décembre 1916, 2p in-4. A Laurent Tailhade (1854-1919), poète, écrivain, pamphlétaire. « Monsieur, Je n'ai pas eu votre adresse et je crains que l'exemplaire de "Monsieur de Berlin", à vous réservé, ne vous soit pas encore parvenu. Réclamez-le à l'oeuvre, s'il vous plait. Je ne crois pas en effet que ce livre rencontre votre hostilité. C'est un effort, non pas d'imagination, mais de littérature et de sincérité d'expression. Enfin, je suis incapable de résumer mon intention. Je suis déjà furieux de ces mots prétentieux. Vous les excuserez, et aussi mon ambition de trouver en vous un appui. Votre aide d'artiste et de juge sera pour moi le plus beau conseil du monde, et je vous en remercie déjà. Croyez, je vous prie, monsieur, à ma profonde sincérité. Louis Delluc. Demay m'avait fortement conseillé d'aller à vous et de vous interroger sur mes essais. Mais j'ai préféré attendre le moment [passage difficile à lire] pour savoir de vous si je vais me noyer ».

Fantomas Original double weight still photograph from the 1913 film serial
Neuilly-sur-Seine France: Gaumont 1913. Vintage double weight matte finish photograph from the legendary 1913 silent film serial. Printed onto heavy card stock for use as the equivalent of a modern day lobby card. With the Gaumont logo at the lower right corner. <br/><br/>The first of Feuillade's three film serial masterpieces followed by "Les Vampires" 1915 and "Judex" 1916. Feuillade took the brave task of putting to film Fantomas already wildly popular with European audiences. The character can be seen as an outgrowth of the "hero thief" character Arsene Lupin from turn-of-the-century French fiction. But unlike Lupin Fantomas was completely comfortable killing those who got in his way sadistically and with no small amount of enjoyment. <br/><br/>The scene pictured here shows Jaques Dollon Andre Luguetat at the police station sitting at the center having been framed by Fantomas. The journalist Fandor Georges Melchior standing in for Inspector Juve who is on the lam in disguise as a hobo stands over Dollon as a police inspector sits at a corner desk. Dollon goes on to escape then be captured by Fantomas who murders him cuts off his fingers and throws his body into the river. Fantomas then sews the fingers into a glove and commits further crimes continuing to implicate Dollon who in addition to being innocent is now dead. <br/><br/>11 x 9 inches. Mounted on brown card stock. <br/><br/>Hardy The BFI Companion to Crime p. 125-126. Gaumont unknown books

Shown here is Musidora as Irma Vep conferring with another member of The Vampires an anarchist criminal gang at the center of the story. <br/><br/>The director's magnum opus "Les vampires" is one of the great crime epics nearly 7 hours in length acknowledged as a strong influence on the surrealists and by directors Alfred Hitchcock and Fritz Lang in the development of the thriller as well as the earliest masters of avant-garden cinema. The second of Feuillade's three film serial masterpieces preceded by "Fantomas" 1913 and followed by "Judex" 1915 combining elements of both. <br/><br/>11 x 9 inches.

Judex Original double weight photograph from the 1916 film
Neuilly-sur-Seine France: Gaumont 1916. Vintage double weight matte finish still photograph from the legendary 1916 silent film serial. With the Gaumont logo at the lower right corner. <br/><br/>The last of Feuillade's three film serial masterpieces preceded by "Fantomas" 1913 and "Les Vampires" 1915 combining elements of both its predecessors. In Judex Latin for "judge" Feuillade furthered his vision of the dark enigmatic anti-hero he introduced with the legendary Fantomas character and utilized Musidora-who played the lead character Irma Vep in "Les Vampires"-as the villainess. Judex was a step forward from the criminal Fantomas however predicting pulp heroes to come such as The Shadow and especially Batman in the US: he was a masterful fighter an expert in disguise and kept his headquarters in the subterranean passages beneath a ruined castle lavishly outfitted with high tech gadgets. Feuillade shot "Judex" in 1914 but the outbreak of World War I delayed release in France until 1916 and wide release until 1917. <br/><br/>Pictured here is Judex cunning and silent in a stunt scene where in he attempts what we suspect will be successful entry into an unsuspecting criminal's car while the vehicle is in motion. <br/><br/>11 x 9 inches. A few pinholes at the corners else Near Fine. <br/><br/>Hardy The BFI Companion to Crime p. 187-188. Gaumont unknown books

Amadou Original screenplay for an unproduced French film
France: Hermes-Films 1964. Draft script for an unproduced French film based on Maheux-Forcier's 1963 novel of lesbian love "Amadou." Notations throughout in holograph ink some noting cut scenes. French language. <br/><br/>Opening scene translated: "It's dawn. The light is still undecided. In the fields the first cries of insects in the trees songs of birds that awaken. The water of the river hardly begins to shiver. A very light haze rises like a curtain along the shore allowing us to discover a very small beach a wooden dock with a diving board at the very end. But the camera does not linger."<br/><br/>Canadian collaborators Carrier and Dube worked on only a few projects being the televisions series "La Cote de sable" 1960-1962 WWII family and the television movies "Qui perd gagne" 1974 pauper gets poorer and "Au retour des oies blanches" "The Return of the White Geese" 1971. Both men never contributed to a released production from Hermes-Films Films Hermes produced three short films 1957-1958 1962 making "Amadou" presumably the company's last ditch further edifying a need for sensationalism. Early Canadian New Wave had the project evolved beyond a rough draft of screen adaptation. <br/><br/>Gray titled wrappers with vellum spine noted as AMADOU / HERMÈS-FILMS on the front wrapper undated.
