1950ref. 237561950. Women in American entertainment scrapbook primarily 1950s documenting the public beauty sexuality celebrity and performing identities of burlesque dancers pinup models actresses and other women whose images circulated widely in postwar popular culture. The compiler places women from burlesque Hollywood modeling nightclub performance and glamour photography emphasizing the female performer as both entertainer and object of fascination during a decade often associated with more restrictive ideals of domestic femininity. Striptease figures including Gypsy Rose Lee Ann Corio Margie Hart Lush Thrush and Earl Moran pinups as well as more prominent Hollywood figures such as Jane Russell Rita Hayworth and Veronica Lake connects the scrapbook to overlapping worlds of striptease film theatrical performance publicity and pinup culture. Its concentration on women displaying their bodies through costume movement pose and theatrical persona places the album within the cultural prehistory of the sexual liberation associated with the 1960s when changing attitudes toward contraception obscenity female desire and women's autonomy increasingly challenged older limits on public expressions of sexuality. Scrapbook containing over 75 printed photographic and illustrated clippings on 18 large pages approximately 9 x 12 inches primarily 1950s in cord bound red board covers. The pages contain magazine and newspaper photographs of women in bathing suits evening gowns lingerie theatrical costumes dance attire and elaborate burlesque dress ranging from formal Hollywood to stage performances and photographs emphasizing dance costume legs and the body in motion. Burlesque and nightclub imagery includes feathered costumes revealing stage dress comic and theatrical routines and performers photographed in settings that present sexuality as part of professional entertainment rather than private life; other pages move into film publicity glamour portraiture fashion and models posed for the mass market. Several leaves arrange multiple images of a single woman creating small visual dossiers on individual performers while full page clippings give others the scale of magazine features. A handwritten index at the front organizes the contents by performer and page The index turns the scrapbook into an organized record of female entertainers including famous Hollywodd stars but also many lesser know Burlesque and nightclub entertainers. The scrapbook was created at a transitional point in American sexual culture. Striptease had become the defining element of twentieth century American burlesque producing nationally recognizable performers such as Gypsy Rose Lee and Ann Corio while Hollywood publicity departments illustrated magazines and pinup photography carried related forms of stylized female sexuality into a much larger audience. The women gathered here therefore occupy different positions within the entertainment economy from actresses whose glamour images accompanied mainstream film careers to performers whose professional identities depended directly on bodily display costume teasing revelation and control of an audience's gaze. Their proximity within one album records how thoroughly these forms had begun to overlap before the social transformations of the 1960s gave female sexual autonomy a more explicit political and cultural vocabulary. Some toning to the scrapbook leaves with scattered edge wear small tears and chipping; covers rubbed and worn at extremities with binding cord retained. Overall good condition. A concentrated record of 1950s popular culture celebrating women as entertainers glamour figures and erotic performers at the threshold of the changes in female sexuality and public self presentation that would become increasingly visible during. unknown

1929ref. List2808Sedalia Missouri 1929. 11 x 18 inches heavy cardstock. Manuscript note verso reads “Flor Alpino Vals / Vanderbeck”. Some staining and tears mainly marginal. Overall very good to excellent. An advertisement for a performance by the Original Eleven Clouds of Joy likely an iteration—of which there were many—of the popular Kansas City-based swing jazz band Clouds of Joy. The group was formed in 1921 by trumpeter Terrence Holder 1897–1983 and in 1929 was led by saxophonist Andy Kirk 1898–1992 and found success largely due to the arrangements and playing of Mary Lou Williams. They would tour the US through 1948 playing Kansas City-style jazz had the top song on the Billboard chart in 1938 and the first single to hit number one on Harlem Hit Parade in its inauguration in 1942 with the song “Take It and Git.” Contemporary newspaper accounts list the band as performing under the name “The Original Eleven Dark Clouds of Joy” during this period though the banner in the photograph here omits the word ‘dark.’ This poster represents an uncommon relic of the band’s early days touring regionally roughly a decade before they enjoyed national success. unknown

ref. 70604An archive of holographic letters written by members of a multi-generational show business family which found success on the stage and screen and behind the scenes from Broadway to Hollywood. The family patriarch was Bert Kalmar born Albert Kalvarinsky 1884 -1947 a successful lyricist who was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970. He entered show business as a vaudeville magician and comedian and became a songwriter after a knee injury sidelined his stage career. In addition to yielding numerous hits for the Marx Brothers his partnership with Harry Ruby was portrayed in the 1950 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer musical Three Little Words with Fred Astaire and Red Skelton. Before turning to songwriting Kalmar was in a vaudeville act with Jessie Brown 1892-1985 whom he married in 1910. They had two children: Irving Bert Kalmar Jr. 1913-97 and Margaret "Peggy" Kalmar 1928-64. Peggy married Robert Allison in 1950 and had no children. This archive contains more than 200 letters mostly written by Bert Jr. and Peggy to their parents as well as several dozen cards from friends sent upon the songwriter's death in 1947. The letters span from the 1930s to the 1980s. The collection includes a few business-related letters about projects in development as well as royalty and tax statements following Bert Sr.'s death. Among the condolences for Kalmar Sr.'s death are letters from Hollywood notables. Tillie Winslow the wife of Columbia Picture musical producer Max Winslow wrote: "I am so sorry to hear of Bert's passing. There is so little one can say to help one in times of sorrow. I know how hard the heart can hurt and I feel very keenly for you." Kalmar Jr. also known as "Bigs" followed in his parents' footsteps and pursued a career in acting achieving some limited success. Numerous letters in the collection recount his years traveling with a variety of stage productions. In 1943-44 he appeared with Ethel Barrymore in the production "The Corn is Green." He joined the show in February and recalled the following in a letter to his parents: "I found out to my great surprise that the understudy they had and who had a few lines in Welsh and one in English was leaving before the show that night and I had to learn his business and Welsh lines and go on. The first scene was in mining clothes with soot all over my face. Then in eight minutes I had to have the soot off and juvenile make up on and change clothes for the next scene. I made it. It all went smoothly. Before I went on Miss Barrymore walked all the way across the stage and said 'You're the new one aren't you. We're glad to have you with us.' . Later some of the other members of the cast said it was phenomenal - some of them had been in the show six months before she spoke to them." This collection underscores the growing focus on Hollywood and motion pictures. The Kalmars moved from New York to Beverly Hills for the songwriter's work and Kalmar Jr. moved between the two coasts to take advantage of opportunities on the stage and in film. This is also evident in letters from friends and associates in the acting world. A letter to Kalmar Jr. from James Lister foreshadows his career as a prominent Hollywood casting director. He wrote on September 1 1954 of his decision to leave New York with "Liam" whom he just signed to Universal Pictures: "We both feel that we've had New York and at the moment there seems to be more gold on the other side of the country.as well as trees." The Kalmars were also close friends of Random House president Bennett Cerf. A typed letter signed TLS in the collection dated November 7 1946 recalls a fun evening: "Phyllis and I counted our evening with you and Jessie among the happiest we spent all year. I hope we can do a repeat performance at a very early date." A few years after Kalmar's death Peggy wrote in a letter to her mother about visiting Cerf at his office and his efforts to help her with a job in magazine publishing. The letters are in very good condition and most are accompanied by their original mailing envelope. unknown
