First edition 2nd printing July 1936 1 month after June 1st printing of this outspoken frank and often humorous author whose shocking “Three Weeks” 1907 bestseller titillated and attracted readers with her heroine seducing a younger man to conceive a child on a tiger skin rug; or her flapper era screenplay “It” which offered up Clara Bow as the quintessential sexually powerful Jazz Age heroine in 1927. She writes of defying her family as a young woman spurning suitors who were too old too fat or just didn’t appeal to her before they forced her exiled to Jersey where she would write columns on fashion and design clothing with her sister Lucy Duff-Gordon.

Revised and expanded edition of one of the most successful correspondence cars promising to prepare women and men for jobs in the ever-expanding and flourishing new movie industry Hollywood “Film Capital of the World.” This revised edition is significantly expanded by over 40 pages from the others issued before World War I and intended to offer the aspiring screenwriter not only a path to self-expression but a way to experience and appreciate this new art form. Palmer 1881-1961 himself had written silent film scripts for several movies released from 1911-1913 but proved to be far more successful in establishing his screenplay writer’s school whose advisory council included Cecil B. DeMille Lois Weber Thomas Ince and guest lectures by Sullivan himself.

Red cloth white lettering minor shelfwear faint tidemark wicked into fore-edges of plates at the very fore-edge w/ d.j. cover art with KKK rider on horseback next to heroine minor chipping head & foot of spine minor closed tears edgewear still G/VG- copy. First Photoplay edition of the notorious movie starring Lilian Gish Henry B. Walthall Mae Marsh Miriam Cooper Ralph Lewis George Siemann and others which steeped in the Confederacy’s Lost Cause mythos which had heavily influenced the misguided Dunning School’s interpretation of Reconstruction and significantly influenced Dixon and Woodrow Wilson. Directed by D.W. Griffith the movie was very successful but the racist overtones and blatant support of the Ku Klux Klan triggered widespread protests and it was banned in several cities. Very much like 21st-Century media Birth of a Nation’s portrayal of African-Americans created a justification for prejudice and discrimination which undermined Civil Rights for decades and reactivated the largely quiescent Ku Klux Klan movement and was the first film ever screened at the White House for President Wilson.

First edition thus of this exceedingly scarce and extra-illustrated sample catalogue for scenic backdrops in order to lower production costs on movie and television production by offering ready-made and large painted scene flats for studios & theaters. These here include depictions of Residential Western & Commercial Architectural backdrops City Skylines Western Parks Hills & Mountains and Tropical Landscapes Skies & Clouds Transportation Miscellaneous and birds-eye cityscape profiles. Available sizes range from 14 x 19 feet up to 20 x 40 feet and include surrealistic backdrops animated and those with signage. Although undated the commercial architectural scenes include images of readily identifiable cars including 1965 Dodge GTO 1964 Camaro 1964-5 Mustang as well as 1962 Ford Falcon and also mentions the increasing use of colour for television broadcasting. In addition many of the scenes include those for the very popular Western genre films and shows during the Mid-20th-Century and some very distinctive Mid-Century Modern homes and exteriors are presented here as well. Two of the extra-illustrated scenes appear to depict a bucolic Northern California countryside of rolling hills and spreading trees above which measured 18 x 20 feet each to tie-in with one another; while the others focus on a tropical backdrop. Scenic Backgrounds Inc. appears to have been founded sometime around 1950-1952 with the introduction indicating that they had employed the best artists for over 12 years. In addition the Company appears in none of the contemporary street directories or trade journals we could search however it did place advertisements in some of the contemporary magazines and appeared to operate until about 1970. Whether Joe Minneci was an owner it is difficult to determine but originally the Minneci’s lived in West Los Angeles in the Fairfax area before moving to Encino. Often these scene and backdrop companies would rent out their scenery to stage productions opera houses and even fraternal order productions. These original sales catalogues for this essential part of the film and television industry are quite scarce. No copies in Worldcat. Scenic Backgrounds, Inc., 848 North La Brea Avenue, unknown
