Francis Coppola explains in his introductory Letter to the Reader that this new magazine will publish only short stories and one-act plays. He emphasizes that stories will not be chosen because they seem to lend themselves to film adaptation but solely on the strength of the writer's voice and the quality of the writing. Each issue will include a short story commissioned by Coppola and based on a idea provided to the writer, and also a classic short story which has been successfully adapted to film. The magazine was later renamed Zoetrope: All-Story and has received every major short-fiction award, including the National Magazine Award for Fiction.Among the contents of this first issue are a commissioned story,"The Baker's Wife" by Sara Powers; an essay by David Thomson "What Happens Next? Hollywood and the short story"; and fiction by Nicola Barker, Joseph Chaikin and Sam Shepard, and Thom Jones.Rare.

Vintage reference photograph from the 1969 film, showing Robert Frank, Peter Orlovsky, and Allen Ginsberg. Printed mimeo snipe affixed to the verso, along with the stamp of Israel Film Archive. Director Robert Frank's first feature film and Sam Shepard's screenwriting debut, following Frank as he accompanies poet Peter Orlovsky and Orlovsky's catatonic, mentally ill brother Julius through the late 1960s Beat scene. When Julius wanders off, he is replaced in the film by actor Joseph Chaikin, pushing the boundaries of cinematic reality. The film was restored and released by Steidl in 2007, alongside a book publication outlining the film, which notes: "Frank's feature debut was first screened in 1968 at the Venice Film Festival. Everything which had defined Frank's art up to that point turns up in this film the look at America 'from the outside,' the poetic libertinage of the Beats, the marginal in a central role. It celebrates the return of the poetic essay as assemblage, the affirmation of the underground as a wild cinematic analysis in the form of a collage, and skillfully weaves together opposites, plays counterfeits against the authentic, pornography against poetry, acting against being, Beat cynicism against hippie romanticism, monochrome against colored. The story contains bizarre twists and turns, and appears to be a rather artless-film-within-a-film being shown at a rundown movie theater." 10 x 8 inches. Near Fine.
