Two vintage photographs of actress Olivia de Havilland, publisher and editor Rob Wagner, and others, circa 1943. Both photographs with the stamp of photographer Dick Whittington on the verso. Although he enjoyed a lengthy career as a director, screenwriter, and magazine writer, Rob L. Wagner is best remembered today as the editor and publisher of "Script," a left-leaning, weekly literary film magazine published in Beverly Hills between 1929 and 1949. A lifelong Socialist and advocate for progressive causes, Wagner used "Script" to give a voice to blacklisted screenwriters (including Dalton Trumbo and Gordon Kahn) and prominent leftists, including Upton Sinclair, Max Eastman, and William C. deMille. Wagner also worked as the part-time secretary of Charlie Chaplin starting in 1915, and with Chaplin and others founded the Motion Picture Relief Fund (which later became the Motion Picture and Television Fund) in 1929, providing financial aid to film industry workers. Although we have not been able to determine the exact event, the photographs may have been taken during Olivia de Havilland's war bond tour with the Hollywood Bond Cavalcade in September, 1943. The cavalcade was a touring series of nationwide events to raise money for the Third War Loan in the US. 10 x 8 inches. Very Good plus, lightly age toned.…
