Looks like you were dealt a giant wc hand full house, RW!  Fun times in the antique store, eh!?  Nice!  Okie

Hi Chris, I really like your Danger Woman daybill!  Also, that Ellen tag line is classic: go to that strange dark house on the hill and Marcus Welby will suck the poison out of your neckbone!  Awesome!  Okie

You should have emailed emp and asked if you could have gotten a supersize image of one of the copies they've sold in the past, since you were using it for a restoration reference. Maybe they would have sent you the image.

Groucho Marx left us 42 (meaning of life?) years ago today. I really enjoyed Groucho's appearances on the talk shows like Johnny Carson and others.  Fortunately, many of these talk show appearances were recorded and are now on YouTube.  He was so quick and clever well into his senior years.  I was so happy to recently get this complete The Big Store midget window card.  It's such a small delight and I'm so happy it survived.

When the July Heritage catalog came out, there was one poster that was a delightful surprise to me in Session III. I hoped not many would notice it, and was sure glad to win it! It's the giant AO+ sized German poster for The Song of Love (1925 release in Germany it looks like from the approval stamp date). The art on this poster is beautiful stone lithography, with rich shades of reds and blues along with white and cream popping out.  This movie starring Norma Talmadge is based on Margaret Peterson's book Dust of Desire. Interestingly, I found at a flea market many years ago the original painting by Russel Crofoot for the U.S. first edition of Dust of Desire.  I included images for both the book cover painting and German poster here.  Also, if you would like to read why Ms. Talmadge said "I love the sea" 104 years ago this month, please check out Stanford's archive of the August 1915 issue of Photoplay. https://web.stanford.edu/~gdegroat/NT/NT1915.htm
My best wishes fellow APFers!  Okie

A purchase from left of field here.  Very interesting.

Why are you attracted to the movie and book?  Or is that for us to check out the Stanford's archive?

Hi Simes, I think this is a case where both the book and movie poster art did their job and attracted me.  I had seen Norma Talmadge movies before, though didn't know about Song of Love until I found the book cover painting for Dust of Desire.  The German movie poster ended up being gorgeous and that made the decision to bid very easy for me, too. The Stanford Univ. archive site was to share something interesting about Ms. Talmadge from the same month all those years ago.

Sure thing, Simes!  Now, I'm hoping we'll see maybe a few more goodies posted by more APFers before the month ends!

Beautiful German Talmadge poster there, okie. Love the imagery and color.



And than original cover painting is killer, too. I like the stylized look that the artist gave to Norma.  thumbsup.gif

Thanks, Jeff!  I found several of that artist's 1920s book cover paintings many years ago at a now closed flea market site in Atlanta.  It sure was great hunting grounds for collectibles back in the day!  Okie

The Swedish Jekyll and Hyde is fantastic. I'm not typically into vintage but this is very nice.

Haven't purchased anything for quite awhile with the weak £ but these arrived recently on the same day. The size difference amused me (at the time...)



The Alice is the size of 2 Bus Shelters and the Dumbo is a mini given away in a Spanish cinema.

Great juxtaposition, Skyjackers!  Go, big Alice, go!   Reminds me of the old joke: Q. Why don't you ever see elephants hiding in trees? A. Because they are really good at it.  Which naturally leads to: Why do elephants paint their toe nails red? A: So they can hide in cherry trees.
