Contact seller5-star sellerVintage borderless photograph of director Franco Zeffirelli on the set of the 1965 Italian production of Arthur Miller's 1964 play. With two printed mimeo snipes affixed to the verso, along with an agency stamp. From the archive of the PIX Agency, a photo house that acted as an intermediary between emigre photographers (as well…as those still living in Europe) and the American magazine and newspaper market between 1935-1969. Miller's play premiered on Broadway at the ANTA Washington Square Theatre on January 23, 1964 and ran for a successful 208 performances, although not without facing a fair amount of criticism for its thinly veiled, cynical portrayal of Marilyn Monroe, from whom Miller had recently been divorced. The play toured Europe in 1965, and was staged at the Teatro Eliseo in Rome in December 1965, under Zeffirelli's direction. Set in WHERE, shot on location in WHERE. 8 x 10 inches. CONDITION.

Contact seller5-star sellerFive vintage oversize borderless photographs, taken during the original 1949-1950 Broadway production of Arthur Miller's 1949 play. All photographs bear catalog stamps and credit stamps of noted photographer W. Eugene Smith on the versos. The production made its debut on February 10, 1949, at the Morosco Theatre, and ran for 742… performances, closing on November 18, 1950. Winner of the Tony Awards for Best Play, Best Supporting Actor, Best Author, and Best Director, as well as the 1949 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The play has since been revived on Broadway five times, in 1975, 1984, 1999, 2012, and 2022, and has been adapted for the screen ten times, including the Academy Award-nominated 1951 film directed by Laslo Benedik, starring Fredric March and Mildred Dunnock. Described by critic Sean O'Hagan in a 2017 article in "The Guardian" as "perhaps the single most important American photographer in the development of the editorial photo essay," W. Eugene Smith's innovation, integrity, and technical mastery made his work the standard by which photojournalism is measured. The W. Eugene Smith Memorial Fund was established in 1979, a year after his death, to promote and support photographers whose work explores matters of global importance for humanitarian purposes. 10.5 x 12.25 inches to 10.5 x 13.5 inches. About Near Fine, with light edgewear, and two with small vertical creases to the bottom right corner.

Contact seller5-star sellerSmall archive of material relating to the 1945 radio play, including the original play script, a Theatre Guild contract signed by Arthur Miller, and an original program for the live performance. "The Guardsman" was adapted by Arthur Miller from Ferenc Molnár's 1912 play "A Testõr." The play aired on the radio on September 30, 19…45, and was one of Miller's earliest efforts, produced four years before the debut of Miller's classic "Death of a Salesman." Included with the script are two contracts: one between the Guild and Miller, signed by Miller and dated September 5, 1945, and one between the Guild and royalty holder Hans Bartsch, signed by Bartsch and dated August 30, 1945. Additionally included with the script is an original program given to the studio audience for the radio performance, dated September 30, 1945. The 1924 Theatre Guild stage production of "The Guardsman" marked the first time legendary duo Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne would appear onstage together for the Guild. The Guild billed this radio performance, nearly two decades later, as something of an encore by the acting team. The Theatre Guild first experimented with radio theatre in "Theatre Guild Dramas," a short-lived CBS Radio series that ran from 1943 to 1944. In 1945 the department created "Theatre Guild on the Air," an anthology series that quickly rose in popularity, soon gaining sponsorship by the US Steel Corporation. The series was broadcast until June of 1953, when it was moved to television.
