Actor Collections

BogartThis is a collection of 148 lobby cards and posters from Bogart films. It covers exclusively the period from 1930 to 1948. The later, and the less desirable, Bogart titles were deliberately not covered in this archive. Since the early days of this hobby, two subjects have always been the most popular and eagerly sought---classic horror and Humphrey Bogart. The early Bogart titles are at least as scarce as the original 1930's Universal horror movies. In many cases, they are even scarcer. (There are, for instance, many more known 1931 cards in existence from FRANKENSTEIN than there are for most of the 30's films in this collection.)

Yousuf Karsh - ZULU

YOUSUF KARSH COLLECTION OF 78 VINTAGE PHOTOS FROM THE FILM "ZULU."
11 x 14", all photos in very fine condition.

A few of these photos have the printed label of Karsh, Ottawa, on the back, various others have handwritten notes on the back, generally identifying the subjects of the photos, possibly in Karsh's hand. In any case, this is clearly a contiguous series of original photos printed at or before the time when the film was being released (June, 1964).

Internet searches indicate that few photo collections contain any of these images, and that at least some that are archived appear to be printed ca the 1970's or later.

ZULU, a film about warfare between the British and Zulu warriors in 1879, was directed by Cy Enfield, and its cast included Stanley Baker, Jack Hawkins, and Michael Caine. It was released to considerable acclaim on 17 June 1964, and it is now considered something of a classic in its genre.

Yousuf Karsh (1908-2002) is famous for his iconic portraits, such as those of Churchill, Hemingway, and Einstein. When he was given the commission to go and do the on-set photography of this film, he focused not on the white movie stars, but rather on the native Zulu people, and, in the process, produced what appears to be his only extensive series of ethnographic portraits.

Paramount ActorsVarious Actors and Actresses under contract or in Paramount releases.

CAROLE LOMBARD CollectionCarole Lombard is one of film's most beloved stars. Some of this is due to her sad and untimely death at the age of 33 in a plane crash while selling war bonds. Mostly it is due to her stunning glamorous and elegant image. Her place in people's memory is not for a particular role or film or character -- it is for that image. Lombard was talented in both drama and comedy and with a good script and director, she excelled. Certainly, a few of her films are considered amongst the finest in the screwball comedy genre (TWENTIETH CENTURY, MY MAN GODFRY, NOTHING SACRED and TO BE OR NOT TO BE) and she made fine dramatic impressions in MADE FOR EACH OTHER and IN NAME ONLY. She exhibited great charisma and she appealed to most everyone because while she could be stunningly beautiful, glamorous and elegant she also seemed down to earth and real, and bawdy. In real life she definitely was--- not only bawdy, but known to be quite salty and uninhibited. This gave her the sense of fun she exhibited in the great comedies. She was born in Indiana in 1908, her parents divorced in 1916 and her mother brought the family to California. Carol (as she spelled her chosen stage name), born Jane Alice Peters was chosen for a film at age 12 (A PERFECT CRIME). She continued school in Los Angeles and attempted to get more acting jobs. At 16 she decided to leave school and pursue acting. She got her feet wet in films by playing leading ladies in westerns and secondary roles and in a series of Mack Sennett slap stick comedies (her training ground). She paid her dues and worked her way up. An auto accident at 17 left her face scarred and Fox canceled her contract. Barbaric plastic surgery repaired her face but she always had to use generous make up to cover her scars. She married William Powell in 1931 (having made MAN OF THE WORLD together), but the marriage only lasted two years. She always felt him to be film's finest actor. She would receive an Academy Award nomination for best actress for her classic film with Powell, MY MAN GODFRY. A relationship with NO MAN OF HER OWN co star Clark Gable would start in 1937 with marriage in 1939. They were Hollywood's golden couple. Lombard was highly respected by the Hollywood community and by the American public and did all she could to assist in the war effort as America went to war in 1941. She lost her life early on in that effort, just weeks after America's entrance into the war. On Jan. 16, 1942, the plane she was traveling back to Los Angeles in after a tour of selling war bonds crashed in the Nevada mountains. Her now classic Ernst Lubitsch film TO BE OR NOT TO BE was released posthumously.

CLARA BOW CollectionPresented is a collection of 507 original 8 x 10 single weight glossy silver gelatin prints from the Paramount Studios wardrobe collection.

Born into poverty in 1905 Brooklyn New York and coming from a very difficult background Clara Bow became a superstar, and the first ever Hollywood sex symbol. Clara could flirt with the camera just by looking into it with her big brown eyes and mischievous bow-tie grin. She exuded sex appeal from every pore in her little body and was not afraid to flaunt it. She personified "flaming youth in rebellion". Her characters were always working class gals; manicurists, showgirls and the like. Her movies did a lot to emancipate young Americans from the restrictive Victorian morals their parents had been raised with. Clara's characters were unashamed about being attracted to men and went after them with gusto. Her shop girl in It (1927), sees the bosses son one day, and says "Oh Santa, gimme him!" She knows exactly what to do to get him interested and then keeps him on his toes. Her characters cut their dresses up to look sexier, cut off their hair, drank and smoked in public, and danced all night long. At the height of her career, she received 45,000 fan letters a week, a record that has never been equaled. She was the idol of working girls and the dream of working class guys everywhere.

IDA LUPINO CollectionIda Lupino, a legendary actress of Hollywood's Golden era who became not only an important but one of the very few women stars of that time who went on to become a recognized film director started life in Camberwell London, England, Feb. 4, 1914. She was the daughter of theatre couple Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Lupino. Her uncle was the popular Lupino Lane. At 19 she too entered films (she had played on small role in a 1931 British film) and appeared in 6 films in 1933. Her mother brought her to Hollywood in 1934 and her career was launched. This collection is a rare representation of that first year in Hollywood and is a very rare glimpse into the making of a star, under the old star contract system of the classic era of Hollywood. Seldom does a collection of this archival and historic quality come up for public sale. It is likely that this is the only near complete set of Lupino's first year of publicity photography at her home studio, Paramount and is not represented in any public or private archives.

Within the collection are portraits, her day to day life, events she attended, her star build up, fashion publicity and publicity for her very first films.

Ida learned her craft of film making during this initial year. Her progression in learning that is well documented as you move through these photos, dated from late 1933 to Spring 1935.

Lupino would go on to become a star actress at Warner Brothers after her initial 5 years as starlet/leading lady. She would become known for her tough characters with a heart of gold. She would become most well known as a brunette, letting go of her platinum dyed tresses--- so in vogue in 1934.

She is well revered as the only major woman star of the 1930's and 40's to become a well established film director of the 1950's (while continuing to act), and inspired many women film makers to this day.

LOUISE BROOKS CollectionA collection of 5 original single weight glossy silver gelatin prints. This set was originally housed in the Paramount Studios Women's Wardrobe department. Louise Brooks appeared in 24 films between 1925 and 1938. She was also a gifted dancer and an accomplished writer. Before she entered films, Louise performed with both the Denishawn Dance Co. and the Ziegfeld Follies. Later in life, her articles were collected into a bestselling book, LULU IN HOLLYWOOD. Today she is best known for her role as Lulu in the classic 1929 German film, PANDORA'S BOX. 70 years after her last films, Louise Brooks is remembered for her independent spirit, remarkable beauty and trademark hairstyle (cut in the same Buster Brown style she had worn as a child). These qualities have made her a 20th century icon.

MARLENE DIETRICH CollectionA collection of 26 single weight glossy silver gelatin still images from two of Dietrich's finest 1930's Paramount films. As of late, there has been very strong collector interest in 30's images of Dietrich, and there are some truly magnificent ones here.

Walter Reuben CollectionThis is my collection, which was formed over a period of years. I specifically focused on the silent era and the dawn of the talking film, because the lobby cards of that period had the most rich inventiveness, wild graphics, and rich colors. Each studio had a distinctive house style, and, even within a studio, the style could vary from one year to another. I have specifically singled out cards from Paramount and Warner Brothers for special listing here, but virtually all major and lesser studios are represented in this collection.

Condition: there are a tiny number of cards which have small condition issues, and are so cataloged. All the rest of the collection is uniformly in a condition grade from VERY FINE to NEAR MINT or better, and, as a result, since the collection on average is in such excellent condition, I have not given individual condition reports on specific pieces, except where, very rarely, there was a small defect that needed mentioning. Minor conservation work was done on about 60 cards, which was almost always cleaning a border or fixing a small tear. No major restoration was done on any piece because none was needed.

Lobby cards were first seen in 1914, and they were already on cardboard paper stock and 11 x 14”. During the 1910’s, almost all lobby cards were simply produced objects. This collection contains a few very scarce examples of decorative art on cards of the teens. And then, as the art of the lobby card begins to flower in the early 1920’s, I have archived many examples of the rich and astonishing diversity of these pieces. An early poster collector once remarked to me, years ago, that the silent Paramount lobby cards had many of the same qualities as those of Persian miniatures. He was so right.

For many years, these cards were not highly collected, but that has been changing as of late, as people have come to recognize their unique beauties.

There are 338 lobby cards in this collection. These were painstakingly assembled over a long period of time, hand picked for the best color, condition, and graphics. I honestly believe that a collection of this quality would be virtually impossible to create again.
