Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good dj. First Edition. [good solid copy, top front corner bumped; jacket lightly soiled and a little age-toned, minor wrinkling near top of front panel]. (B&W photographs, facsimiles) INSCRIBED ("To Sydney [sic] Solow") and SIGNED by the author on the title page. Essentially a "films-of-Mary Pickford" chronicle, but limited to only those films in which she "appeared as a comedienne, either as the principal actress, or in a supporting role" for the Biograph Company from 1909 through 1912; the illustrations consist primarily of reproductions of "Biograph Bulletins" (the company's trade ads) and frame blow-ups from the films themselves. "During the almost three years that Mary Pickford was with the Biograph Company, she averaged at least one film a week. Most of her roles were dramatic, and quite often she played the part of an Indian maiden. [D.W.] Griffith, however, recognized her ability as a comedienne and whenever he had a suitable story cast her in that manner. Much has been said of Mary's subsequent world-renown as a dramatic motion picture star, but rarely has her talent as a comedienne been given the attention it warrants." (The inscribee was Sidney P. Solow, longtime head of Consolidated Film Industries, one of Hollywood's major film laboratories, back when Hollywood had film laboratories. The author was an important early figure in film preservation, largely responsible for the restoration of films from the Paper Print Collection at the Library of Congress.) Signed by Author.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine dj. First Edition. [a very nice copy, no discernible wear at all to the book; the jacket shows only minimal handling wear]. (B&W photographs) Joint reminiscences of the early days of filmmaking by two veteran cinematographers whose "careers span the crucial period from the beginning to the consolidation of the Hollywood industry after the introduction of sound. From the personal stories of the two men (giving in alternating chapters with a charming cross-cutting effect) emerges an intimate account of the infant industry: the ruthless commercial piracy taken for granted by all, the attempt by a small group of men to monopolize the making of pictures, and the methods used by the independent companies to survive. Illustrated with many working scenes from early studios, and stills from the authors' personal archives." Both men entered the film business in its infancy: Balshofer with the Lubin Company in Philadelphia in 1905, with Miller following soon after, as Balshofer's then 14-year-old assistant!
