Erich Von Stroheim director screenwriter; Frank Norris novel
Greed Original herald for the 1924 film's premiere
Beverly Hills CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer MGM 1924. Vintage herald or broadside for the 1924 film. A clever and excessively rare bit of advertisement designed as a "Wanted" poster pulling together the main character from Frank Norris' novel John "Doc" McTeague a photo of "McTeague" Gibson Gowland and mention of a specific screening at San Francisco's Imperial Theatre on Market Street today the Market Street Cinema. <br/><br/>The first cut of Stroheim's "Greed" was a mammoth 9.5-hour presentation. All that survives today is a restored slightly choppy but coherent 240-minute version supplanted with still photographs that conveys to the viewer the unimaginable grandeur of the original. Very little paper advertisement has survived. The only poster that has ever surfaced is a disappointing window card showing none of the characters and this remarkable broadside the only example we have ever encountered. <br/><br/>13 x 6 inches. Near Fine with a couple of tiny internal tears overall extremely clean and with no paper loss. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer [MGM] unknown books

Steppenwolf Hermann Hesse's Steppenwolf.For Madmen Only Original screenplay for the 1974 film

Based on the 1927 novel by Hermann Hesse. <br/><br/>A depressed half-man half-animal played by Max von Sydow is introduced to the hallucinogenic world of the "Magic Theater" where he seeks redemption via a metaphysical transcendence.
