Mary Pickford - Campbell Studios Photos

Campbell Studios was founded in the 1800s by photography pioneer and inventor Alfred S. Campbell in Elizabethtown, NJ, but it was essentially a whole different entity by the time of its stint on 5th Avenue in New York City. Under the management of Rudolf Eickemeyer in the early 1900s, the studio moved towards theatrical portraiture and photography which continued under Arthur Rice’s direction through the late 1920s. Many of the Mary Pickford’s Campbell Studio portraits are somewhat well-recognized, though the name doesn’t seem to be as easily recognized as some of the other studios like Hartsook.

Mary Pickford in a photo by Campbell Studios but printed and marked as Apeda Studios on thin glossy stock. This photo shows a somewhat shady practice (whether intentionally seedy or not, I don't know) by Apeda where, besides shooting their own photos, the studio would also obtain copies of non-copyrighted photos and print their own, but not before removing the original studio's trademark and adding their own. In fact, White Studio even sued them... and lost! With that said, portions of Campbell Studio remain visible at the lower right. "Mary Pickford appearing exclusively in Artcraft Pictures." "Mary Pickford in Artcraft Pictures" on back. 1917. There is also a glass magic lantern slide in the collection with the same shot. Part of NZ Photo Album.

Mary Pickford / United Artists Promotional Hand Fan ca. 1920s

Die-cut Mary Pickford / United Artists promotional hand fan with wood handle, produced, we can assume, by Josep Germa (Sabadell, Spain) to advertise Anis del Taup anisette -- evidently, the preference for people of good taste. The front features a nice photo of Mary by Campbell Studio framed and surrounded by a floral design. ca. 1920s.

Mary Pickford / Artcraft Pictures - Glass Slide - c. 1917

In 1917, the “Exhibitor’s Service Department” of Artcraft Pictures issued a series of 9 slides depicting their biggest names and sent them free-of-charge to exhibitors “after the acceptance of their star series contracts.” (Artcraft Advance, September 24, 1917.) The set included Mary Pickford, seen here in a photo by Campbell Studio, along with George M. Cohan, Cecil B. DeMille, Douglas Fairbanks, Geraldine Farrar, Elsie Ferguson, David Wark Griffith, William S. Hart, Thomas H. Ince. As would be expected, the promotional stunt was well-received, but if you're signing a contract to show Artcraft films--were they really free?
