Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Very Good dj. Later Printing. [minimal shelfwear to book, one-time owner's name in block letters on front endpaper; the jacket shows some wear at the extremities, minor creasing along the top and bottom edges, printed price on front jacket flap blacked out]. A later printing of the hit play about… a number of individuals held hostage by gangsters at a remote Arizona filling station and cafe, which ran for 193 performances at New York's Broadhurst Theatre in early 1935; it closed in ____ and by mid-October a filmed adaptation was already in front of the Warner Bros. cameras in Hollywood (well, OK, Burbank). Two of the three stars of the stage version, Leslie Howard and Humphrey Bogart, reprised their roles, with rising Warner Bros. star Bette Davis taking the female lead. (Of the three, the play/movie had the greatest impact on Bogart's career; his portrayal of the gangster Duke Mantee (consciously modeled by both playwright and actor after John Dillinger) was a sensation on stage, and got him a little more respect in Hollywood (although it would be another five years before he emerged as a full-fledged star with HIGH SIERRA and THE MALTESE FALCON). (Ironically, Warner Bros. at first wanted to cast their #1 house gangster, Edward G. Robinson, in the role of Mantee, but Leslie Howard, whose contract gave him some control over such matters, insisted on Bogart.) This printing employed the almost-identical dust jacket design as the 1935 first printing (with "Leslie Howard as Alan Squier" featured alone in the front panel photo), one small change being the addition of Sherwod's 1936 play "Idiot's Delight" to the list of his works on the rear flap. Although the play marked Bogart's last appearance on the stage, he did reprise the role of Duke Mantee for a 1955 television production, with Henry Fonda and Lauren Bacall stepping into the Howard and Davis roles.

Contact seller5-star sellerVintage portrait photograph of actor Otto Kruger by the photography team of Florence and Tommy Vandamm [Vandamm Studio], circa 1930. Photograph with a blind "Vandamm / New York" stamp on the bottom left of the recto, and a "Vandamm Studio" stamp on the verso, and a label on the verso announcing Kruger in the leading role of the…Broadway play "The Boundary Line," by playwright Dana Burnet, which premiered at the 48th Street Theatre on February 5, 1930 and ran for 37 performances, closing in March, 1930. The photograph was likely commissioned by the Theatre Guild which contracted Vandamm Studios to photograph all of their productions beginning in 1928. Kruger began his career as a Broadway matinee idol in the 1920s and 1930s before establishing a niche in feature films as the charming villain, such as in Alfred Hitchcock's 1942 film "Saboteur," Joseph M. Newman's "711 Ocean Drive," and Douglas Sirk's 1954 film "Magnificent Obsession." Kruger starred in over 80 films between 1915 and 1964, as well as multiple television appearances in the 1950s and 1960s. The husband and wife photography team of Florence and Tommy Vandamm, married in 1918, emigrated from London to New York in the 1920s due to declining business in their portrait studio following World War I. By 1928 Vandamm Studio began to dominate the field in New York after being contracted by the Theatre Guild to photograph all of their productions. Florence took responsibility for most of the portrait work, while Tommy documented the stage work. The studio was closed by Florence in 1961. Vandamm Studio's work was known for their carefully planned lighting and composition, and their attention to detail. 8 x 10 inches. Very Good, with two vertical folds and three horizontal folds cropping the face.

Irregular trim at bottom, photographer stamp on verso as well as his name in red pencil at bottom margin. Near fine. Hedwig "Vicki" Baum (1888-1960) was an Austrian noveli…st who emigrated to the United States in 1932, where she worked initially on the screenplay for the adaptation of her most famous novel, Menschen im Hotel (People at a Hotel) into the film classic Grand Hotel. While living in Berlin in the 1920s she took up boxing and was, along with Marlene Dietrich, one of very few women to attempt this traditionally macho sport. Her ninth novel, Stud. chem. Helene Willfüer (Helene Willfüer, Student of Chemistry), was her first major commercial success, selling over 100,000 copies. Baum is considered one of the first modern bestselling authors, and her books are seen as exemplifying New Objectivity within contemporary mainstream literature. Her protagonists were often strong, independent women caught up in turbulent times. (Wikipedia).

Contact seller5-star sellerVintage sepia photograph of Claude Rains by noted theatre photographer Vandamm, from an undocumented production-to our knowledge-of e.e. cummings' absurdist play, "Him" presumably by the Theatre Guild, likely sometime between 1927 (when the play premiered) and 1934 (based on the nature of the Vandamm print). The presumption of t…he photo being from a Theatre Guild performance is a manuscript ink notation by Vandamm on the verso of the mount, reading: "The Theatre Guild's production of 'Him' / Claude Rains." According to Christopher Sawyer-Laucanno's biography of cummings: "Lawrence Langer, a director at the Theatre Guild, who had been given a copy of the play [Him] by Muriel Draper, was quite enthusiastic, but, because of the obscenities in the play could not get the Guild to take it on." (p. 310) He goes on to note that the Provincetown Players mounted a production in 1928, which is documented as having closed after 27 performances due to budget constraints. There is no record of a production of "Him" by the Theatre Guild in the IBDB, and no record of Rains working with the Provincetown Players-so the date of the production, if indeed it ever went past rehearsals, remains a mystery. Photo 13 x 10.5 inches. Mount 19.5 x 15 inches. Both photo and mount Near Fine.

No Binding. Condition: Fine. Two vintage photographs from "Porgy and Bess," the acclaimed Theatre Guild play version that first appeared on Broadway in October 1927. Image sizes 10 by 13 inches; the classic photographs were taken by the London-born Florence Vandamm, the contract photographer for the Theatre Guild. 1). Scene in "…Catfish Row": Frank Wilson as Porgy (on knees by steps) and Evelyn Ellis as Bess (extreme right), stamped "Florence Vandamm, New York," on the bottom right corner. 2). Scene in "Crab Man": Georgette Harvey as Maria and Leigh Whipper as Crab Vendor, stamped "Vandamm, New York," on the bottom left corner. ---- James Weldon Johnson lauded the show's use of some sixty African Americans, something previously unheard of on Broadway. "In `Porgy,'" he wrote, "the Negro removed all doubts as to his ability to do acting that requires thoughtful interpretation and intelligent skill." The composer George Gershwin would later transform the play into a wondrous amalgam of drama and music. Exceeding rare photographs professionally matted and framed, ideal for display.

Contact seller5-star sellerTwo vintage oversize photographs from the first stage production of "The Front Page" in 1928, showing two different trio shots of the reporters who grace the majority of the play. The first photo, a double weight 8 x 10 by Florence Vandamm with her blindstamped name on the recto, shows Lee Tracy (later played by Rosalind Russell… onscreen), Osgood Perkins, and Frances Fuller. The second, a oversize 11 x 14, uncredited but by White Studios in New York City, shows the star Walter Baldwin (later played by Cary Grant onscreen), Osgood Perkins, and Lee Tracy. Both photographs with numerous annotations and stamps on the verso. Excessively rare photographs from the first staging of the play that made Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur famous. The play would be published the same year in book form by Covici-Friede, and was the basis for three films: The Front Page" in 1931 with Adolphe Menjou and Pat O'Brien, "The Front Page" in 1974 with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, and most famously, the classic screwball comedy "His Girl Friday," with Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell in 1940.
