Overall very good or better. The Drag Net is a lost gangster film from Josef von Sternberg. These photos provide a tantalising glimpse into what once existed. Film historian John Baxter provides a synopsis: "Captain Timothy 'Two Gun' Nolan George Bancroft is appointed head of the New York detective force and as his first act rounds up every criminal in town – the 'drag net' of the title. Gang boss 'Dapper' Frank Trent William Powell stands bail for all of them including 'The Magpie' Evelyn Brent as independent minor gang-leader with complex alliances. Nolan is particularly impressed by the girl who affects caps of black-and-white feathers and is attended by her own bodyguard of gunmen. She and the detective have a number of sexually charged encounters before her release. Setting out to get Trent Nolan moves in on his hideout assisted by his friend 'Shakespeare' Leslie Fenton. Trent armed with a machine gun kills Shakespeare but makes Nolan believe it is his shot that has done so. Nolan for motives as obscure as those which motivated the futile round-up of the gangs resigns his commission and becomes a drunk. Found unconscious by Trent he is offered as the pièce de résistance at a gangland banquet which 'The Magpie' attends. Pitying the humiliated man she discovers that he did not kill his friend reveals the fact to him and is reformed and wounded in the downfall of Trent killed by Nolan in his steel-shuttered apartment."

Best.-Nr. WALTER-FILM007819Paramount. No binding. Near Fine. Los Angeles: Paramount 1929. Vintage original 8 x 10" 20 x 25 cm black-and-white glossy silver gelatin photo. Minor soiling to edges crease at bottom right corner 1929 holograph note on verso. Near fine. Rare is this image of cast with crew so many waiting to be identified with many of the top artists at Paramount Studios. The film is notable for being both the debut of Jeanette MacDonald and the first talkie film made by Ernst Lubitsch. The picture was also released in a French-language version called Parade d'amour. Maurice Chevalier thought he would never be capable of acting as a royal courtier and had to be persuaded by Lubitsch. This huge box-office hit appeared just after the Wall Street crash and did much to save the fortunes of Paramount Studios. The major players of this groundbreaking early sound musical are present in the front row including Lupino Lane Lubitsch MacDonald Chevalier and likely cinematographer Victor Milner at left behind Jeanette. He won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography. He and Lubitsch are mentioned in the handwritten note on verso. The notations also specifically indicate the filming dates of June July and August 1929. Paramount unknown

Set of 12 vintage original 8 x 10" 20 x 25 cm black-and-white photos one with mimeographed text on verso three with the film's title stamped on verso overall just about fine. Josef von Sternberg's first talking film. Some historians credit his importance in the evolution of gangster films with his UNDERWORLD 1927. This was by any standard the first significant talking gangster film. It tells the story of a criminal facing execution who wants to kill the man in the next cell for being in love with his former girlfriend. Sternberg experimented with asynchronous sound effects which served to augment or supplement the visual effects or as he framed the process "To be correctly and effectively used the sound had to bring to the image a quality other than what the lens included a quality out of the range of the image. Sound had to counterpoint or compensate for the image add to it – not subtract from it." Rather than the external and complementary musical accompaniment of silent films Sternberg's scores arise organically with the mise-en-scène and form a key component of the film. The music off-screen does not recede in deference to the on-screen dialogue but competes with it. Off-screen voices comment on the visual action but are not identified visually until later in the film sequence contributing to an "unrealistic cadence" that characterizes the film's dialogue. Film historian Andrew Sarris describes it as "a startling experiment. his use of sound and music for mood effects and the very unreality of his style seems to justify the unusual density of his sound track." Sternberg also uses sound expressionistically such as the erratic start-stop of a sewing machine or the "sinister" squeaking of a dog's ball toy squeezed by the condemned criminal in the hours before his death.

1922Best.-Nr. 12673St. Louis 1922. Broadside 11.25 x 14.25 inches. Tanned short closed diagonal tear on right edge left edge a bit frayed tiny hip to top right corner otherwise minor edge wear. Fragile but in good condition. An unrecorded promotional broadside recruiting membership in the short-lived Paramount Progressive Order of Moose PPOM an African-American fraternal organization founded in the early-1920s by H.A. Stewart of St. Louis. The organization was created to serve the needs of the African-American community after the Loyal Order of Moose refused to admit Black members. The PPOM was gone by the 1930s following lawsuits from the Loyal Order of Moose who claimed infringement due to the PPOM's use of similar imagery. Still the PPOM offered members a number of benefits during its operations. According to the present broadside which asks "WHY NOT JOIN THE MOOSE" and touts itself as "One of the Most Progressive Orders" above the moose-centric logo at upper center the PPOM was "Now Open to Men and Women Between the Ages of 18 and 50 Years." Members could enjoy "Free Medical Aid" as well as sick and death benefits. Membership was $6 for men and half that for women with women receiving $3 sick benefits as opposed to $5 for men and $150 death benefit men received $200. Potential members are asked to contact the Grad Supervisor but the name city and state for said person is not filled in. A wonderful and evocative promotional broadside for an important though short-lived St. Louis-based African-American mutual aid society with no copies reported in OCLC. unknown

A portrait of Evelyn Brent George Bancroft and Clive Brook from Josef von Sternberg's gangster film often cited as a proto-film noir. Grant p. 675: "Important precursor of the 1930s US gangster movie and as such significant to noir's ancestry." Silver and Ward p. 301: "Enhanced immeasurably by the exotic visual preoccupations of . Sternberg which encompass a range of original symbols and imagery. The script as written by ex-newspaperman Ben Hecht realistically details the personalities populating the sordid speakeasies and dingy dwellings of the gangsters." Paramount
