Tess of the Storm Country - photographs - 1914

Mary Pickford, posing like the Tess cover/frontispiece illustration from the 1909 book by Grace Miller (thank you to Pamela Short for pointing that out; book scan is for reference only) in a Tess of the Storm Country (1914) promotional photo. Photographer unknown. Part of NZ Photo Album.

Tess of the Storm Country (1914) publicity still. It is worth noting that this very layout, with the paper label glued on recto, was imaged for the Krauss Mfg. postcard series for the film. Typewritten on verso is "I swears that I won't tell." From NZ.


Tess of the Storm Country (1914) "Tess steals milk for Teola's child" mini-lobbycard from Mary's Estate. Gifted from the Pamela Short Collection. Not to be redundant, but written on verso seemingly in Mary's hand: "Mary Pickford in 'Tess of the Storm Country' first production 1914" 

The Eagles Mate (1914) - Lobby card copyprint

The Eagle's Mate (1914) lobby card copyprint. I am not sure from when this piece originates. It is marked Culver Service on verso which doesn't mean a whole lot other than it existed prior to 1960. Gifted from the Pamela Short Collection.

The Informer (1912) - Lobby Card - Aywon Re-Release (1921)

Nathan Hirsh’s Aywon Film Corporation obtained the rights to re-release a number of Pickford short subjects directed by D.W. Griffith in late-1920 / early-1921. One of which was the Biograph The Informer. This one, featuring Mary and Jack (peaking in at the top left,) is of the many lobby card designs produced for the film. Gifted from the Pamela Short Collection.

Cinderella - Mini-Lobbycard - 1914

Mini-lobbycard show Mary in James Kirkwood's Cinderella (1914.) "Awakened by fairy voices." Gifted from the Pamela Short Collection.

Mistress Nell (1915) - Lobby card copyprint

Mistress Nell (1915) lobby card copyprint. To be honest, I am not totally sure where or from when this piece originates. It is marked Culver Service on verso which doesn't mean a whole lot other than it existed prior to 1960. I suppose it's simply a Culver copyprint. Gifted from the Pamela Short Collection.
