A Good Little Devil - Scrapbook Page w/ Ticket Stubs, Program Newspaper Magazine Clippings, etc. - 1913

A nice assortment of David Belasco's A Good Little Devil ephemera. These pieces -- including two ticket stubs and program/newspaper/magazine clippings that feature many photos by White NY -- are affixed to both sides of a giant page extracted from an old scrapbook. They were compiled by an unknown theatregoer who was lucky enough to attend the Broadway opening of the play with their mother at the Republic Theatre on Wednesday, January 8, 1913.

Written in ink, among other words, "Mary Pickford (my movie idol) was wonderful." The photographer of this early portrait of Mary is unknown at this time.

Orchestra seat tickets for the Wednesday, January 8, 1913 Broadway opening of Belasco's A Good Little Devil.

Mary Pickford - Ira L. Hill Photo - North American Sunday Supplement

Mary Pickford Ira L. Hill Studio photo featured on the first "Photoplay Favorites" supplement to the North American, Sunday, Jan. 14 1917. The North American was a Philadelphia, PA newspaper from 1835 to 1925. This piece was also issued by other newspapers nationwide. Not in the greatest condition, but the right amount of wear and tear to show its age.

Scrapbook - late 1920s - early 1930s

The source of this dismantled scrapbook is unknown. It seems to have been compiled during the late 1920s - early 1930s (with some very clearly modern updates.) Comprised mainly of unmodified newspaper and magazine clippings (with photographs by Hartsook, Evans, Hesser, Newberg, Lindstedt-Phelan, Strauss Peyton, Nickolas Murray, G.L. Manuel Freres, Ira L. Hill, Preston Duncan, K. O. Rahmn, and beyond,) there are also number of nice hand-colored clippings and handwritten notes by the maker. Also worth mentioning is the May, 1926 Screenland cover, with a metallic gold background, featuring a painting by Jay Weaver. A nice assortment even if just miscellaneous clipped photos. It would be nice to comment on each page, but that would be quite a chore. Donated to MPF.
