Blessings, Bobby Copeland 11/2005," Illustrated throughout with photographs, includes a Filmography and a Bibliography, "The amazing saga of one man's ride through early Hollywood" ; ; 130 pages; Signed by Author ., Culture House Books, 2005, 5, DK Publishers -, 2000. Hardcover/pub.2000/Gd. condition/270 pages - Shows the President in all of his many roles... from the cowboy gunslinger and war hero he played in the movies to president of the United States of America.... (TA14557z). Hard Cover. Good., DK Publishers -, 2000, 2.5, A COLLECTION OF 20 BROCHURES (INCLUDING 1 DUPLICATE) DEDICATED TO SOME OF THE MOST FAMOUS SOVIET AND FOREIGN MOVIE STARS AND DIRECTORS OF THE 1920S. The 1920s was a pivotal point in the history of Soviet film industry: the decision to import foreign movies into the Soviet Union resulted in the Hollywood completely taking over the Soviet market. American films dominate, inundate, glut, overwhelm the Russian motion picture houses today. Clara Kimball Young has a theatre devoted solely to her in Moscow. In the Arbat, centre of the workers' quarters of the Russian capital, a new building celebrates the glory of Douglas Fairbanks in electric letters three feet high... It is a bit depressing, - wrote an American journalist visiting the Soviet Union in the summer of 1925. Obsession with the Hollywood movie industry was bolstered by the Soviet state publishing house, Kinopechat [i.e. Cinema Press], which issued a series of booklets focusing on the popular foreign film idols and, very reluctantly, on the domestic ones. In 1926-1927, the number of the booklets dedicated to European stars reached one and a half million, compared to only 260,000 copies sold of the biographies of Soviet personalities. While American films retained their appeal right through to 1931 when imports ceased, it was not long before the profits made on the distribution of foreign movies were used to recover domestic film production. Enthusiastic work of the new avant-garde Soviet film-makers (Sergei Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin (1925), Ten Days That Shook The World (1927); Dziga Vertov's Man with a Movie Camera (1929); Vsevolod Pudovkin's Mother (1926), etc.) marked the beginning of the new Soviet cinema. The focus had finally shifted to the Soviet movie industry, and Kinopechat kept abreast of the Soviet audience's new preferences. From 1926, the number of booklets dedicated to the domestic actors gradually began to increase. Prominent art theorists and film directors narrated the stories of extremely popular movie industry stars (Soviet, American, European) in the small brochures distinguished with the constructivist design and photomontages. With the print run of approximately 20,000 copies, Kinopechat's pamphlets became a manifestation of El-Lissitzky's words: The (painted) picture fell apart together with the old world which it had created for itself. The new world will not need little pictures. If it needs a mirror, it has the photograph and the cinema. 1) Tolkachev, Ye. Standartnyy geroy Charl'z Khetchinson [i.e. A Standard Hero - Charles Hutchinson]. Moscow: Tea-Kino-Pechat', 1928. 16 pp.: ill. 17,5x12,9 cm. In original photomontage wrappers. Few damp stains. Otherwise near fine. Second edition. First edition published in 1927. An interesting brochure dedicated to the American film actor, director, and screenwriter Charles Hutchinson (1879-1949). Although Hutch directed numerous independent silent features (Hurricane Hutch in Many Adventures (1924), The Winning Wallop (1926), etc.), he is best remembered as Pathé's leading male serial star from 1918 to 1922. Hutchinson's most famous movies include: The Golden God (1917), Hutch Stirs 'em Up (1923), Hurricane Hutch in Many Adventures (1924). The brochure was written by Evgeniy Tolkachev (1896-1960), a Soviet journalist, publisher, and translator. 2) Oganesov, K., Yutkevich, S. Milton Sils [i.e. Milton Sills]. Moscow: Kinopechat', 1926. 16 pp.: ill. 15x11.5 cm. In original photomontage wrappers. Mild stains on the wrappers, tear of the spine. Otherwise in very good condition. Second edition. First edition published earlier that year. A booklet dedicated to the American leading man of silent pictures Milton Sills (1882-1930). Starting out as a philosophy professor, Sills debuted as an actor in the movie The Pit in 1914. By the early 1920s, Sills had achieved matinee idol status and was working for numerous film studios. His most famous works are: The Making of O'Malley (1925), The Knockout (1925), Puppets (1926), etc. Sills died suddenly of a heart attack while playing tennis at the age of 48. 3) Tatarova, A. Adol'f Menzhu [i.e. Adolphe Menjou]. Moscow: Kinopechat', 1927. 16 pp.: ill. 15x11.5 cm. In original photomontage wrappers. Former bookshop stamp on the verso of the front wrapper. Otherwise near fine. First edition. A brochure about American actor, Academy awards nominee, and the best dressed man in America Adolphe Menjou (1890-1963). Adolphe made his movie debut in 1916 in The Blue Envelope Mystery. After toiling in small roles for a few years, Menjou gained notoriety in Charlie Chaplin's A Woman of Paris: A Drama of Fate (1923). In 1931, Adolphe starred in the Front Page for which he received a Best Actor Oscar nomination. Menjou's exceedingly conservative political views and his drastic comments (Hollywood is one of the main centers of Communist activity in America) eventually tarnished his reputation to a degree. 4) Korolevich, V. V. Malinovskaya. Moscow: Kinopechat', 1927. 16 pp.: ill. 15x11.5 cm. In original photomontage wrappers. Fine. First edition. A short brochure about Soviet actress Vera Malinovskaya (1900-1988). She debuted in 1924 in a film To Everyone's Joy where she had a small part. But already next year she was casted in the successful The Stationmaster based on Pushkin's novel. It made her famous. In 1927, after her return from Soviet Russia, Mary Pickford gave a lengthy interview in which she had such a passage: In Russia, I met a charming young Russian star - a tall girl with long blond hair - she was the heroine of the best picture I've seen there, The Stationmaster. The brochure was compiled by Vladimir Korolevich (1894-1969), a Soviet poet, actor, and movie director. 5) Trauberg, I. Vil'yam Khart [i.e. William Hart]. Moscow: Kinopechat', 1926. 16 pp.: ill. 15x11.5 cm. In original photomontage wrappers by M. Getmanskiy. Fine. First edition. A small brochure about American actor, director, and the biggest money making star in the United States (1915/1916) William S. Hart (1864-1946). William entered movie industry at the age of 49. After playing supporting roles in two short films, His Hour of Manhood and Jim Cameron's Wife, Hart achieved stardom as the lead in the feature The Bargain. Making over 70 silent films by the time he was 60, Hart quickly became America's most important cowboy. He made his last movie, Tumbleweeds, in 1925, amid dwindling popularity, partly due to his disintegrating marriage to the Hollywood actress Winifred Westover, who accused Hart of extreme cruelty. If Cohen (Westover's attorney) claims I was physically cruel to my wife... I'll drill a hole in his stomach so big you can drive a twenty-mule-team borax wagon through it, - said Hart in his retort. Once the biggest money making star, Hart was no longer Hollywood's favourite - the actor retired to his Newhall ranch home in 1928. The brochure was compiled by Ilya Trauberg (1905-1948), a Soviet movie director and screenwriter. 6) Abramov, A. Garri Pil' [i.e. Harry Piel]. Moscow: Kinopechat', 1927. 16 pp.: ill. 15.2x11.5 cm. In original photomontage wrappers by Naum Sokolik. Fine. Fourth edition. First edition was published in 1926. A short brochure about Harry Piel (1892-1963), a prolific German actor, film director, and the Nazi activist, whose extreme popularity in the Soviet Union became a major concern for the Bolshevik authorities. Establishing the «Art Film Publishing House Company» in 1912, Harry Piel was only 19 years old when he directed his first feature Black Blood. In 1916, Piel got a leading role in a science fiction adventure, Die Grosse Wette. After directing eight "Joe Deebs" detective films, he created Harry Piel adventure series, performing his own stunts and becoming an internationally recognized star. German Douglas Fairbanks, as Harry was often referred to, was especially popular in the Soviet Union. A survey conducted in Krasnoiarsk suggested that Piel's screen persona appealed to children in particular. The anonymous reporter indignantly noted that quite a few of the girls answered the question What has cinema taught you? by saying: [That] I would like to marry Harry Piel, while the boys expressed their hope of being Harry Piel. The popularity of this actor was so great that the factories and Komsomol cells often organized discussions on how Communists should fight Harry Pielism (garripilevshchina). Design by the Soviet painter, poster artist, and member of the Society of Moscow Artists Naum Sokolik (1897-1944). 7) Ven, S. Amo Bek-Nazarov. Moscow: Kinopechat', 1927. 16 pp.: ill. 14.8x11 cm. In original photomontage wrappers. Fine. First edition. A booklet about Amo Bek-Nazarov (1892-1965), father of Armenian cinematography and one of the greatest film directors of all time. Amo entered the movie industry as an actor in 1914 and soon became one of the major stars of the pre-Soviet Russian cinema. He directed his first films The Patricide (1923), In the Pillory (1923), and The Lost Treasure (1924) in Tbilisi. In 1924, Amo returned to his native city of Yerevan, where he directed the first full-length Armenian feature film, Namus (1925), and the first Armenian sound film, Pepo (1935). In 1950, Bek-Nazarov directed Erkrord karavan. However, the film was canceled half-way through its production on direct orders from Joseph Stalin, a move that personally hurt Amo, who refused to direct any more films until the death of Stalin. After Bek-Nazarov's death in 1965, Armenfilm adopted his name to their full, official title in his honor. 8) Shebuyev N. Sofia Zhozeffi. Moscow; Leningrad: Kino-izd-vo RSFSR Kinopechat', 1927 ([Moskva]: tip. Gosizdata «Krasnyy proletariy»). 16 pp.: ill. 11.4x15 cm. In original photomontage wrappers. Tear of the spine. Otherwise fine. Second edition. First edition published earlier that year. A booklet dedicated to the famous Soviet silent film actress Sofia Zhozeffi (1906-1997). Sofia started her career as a child as a circus performer and gained widespread acclaim after starring in Ivan Perestiani's adventure film Krasnye dyavolyata [i.e. Red Devils] in 1923. In the following years, the actress played in numerous movies, among which the most famous is Legenda o Devich'yey bashne [i.e. The Legend of the Maiden Tower] (1923). In 1992, Sofia emigrated to the United States of America, where she lived until the end of her life. The booklet was written by Nikolay Shchebuev (1874-1937), a Soviet writer, journalist, and poet. 9) Abramov A. Olga Tretyakova. Moscow: Kino-Izd-vo RSFSR Kinopechat', 1927. 15, [1] pp.: ill. 11.3x14.7 cm. In original illustrated publisher's wrappers by N.S. Fine. Second edition. First edition published in 1926.

In the period from 1923 until 1928, she played in more than 10 movies, with the most popular being Aleksei Popov's Dva druga, model' i podruga [i.e. Three Friends and an Inventation] (1927). During the Soviet repressions, Olga was arrested and exiled to a camp where she spent the rest of her life (date of death unknown). 10) Shklovsky, V., Eisenstein, S. A. Khokhlova.

She debuted as a supporting actress in the film Uragan [i.e. Hurricane] directed by Boris Sushkevich in 1916. After 7 years, Aleksandra married the famous Soviet filmmaker Lev Kuleshov and appeared in a number of his movies: Luch smerti [i.e. The Death Ray] (1925), Vasha znakomaia [i.e. Your Acquaintance) (1927), Velikii uteshitel' [i.e. The Great Consoler], etc. Khokhlova's career in film was cut short when she fell out of favour because of her family's wealth and connections with Tsar Nicholas II. The brochure was compiled by the noted Soviet literary theorist Viktor Shklovsky (1893-1984) and Sergei Eisenstein (1898-1948), who went down in history as one of the greatest Soviet film directors and the pioneer in the theory and practice of montage. 11) Levidov M. Lev Kuleshov. Moscow: Kino-izd-vo RSFSR Kinopechat', 1927 (tip. Gosizdata «Krasnyy proletariy»). 15 pp. 11.3x14.9 cm. In original illustrated publisher's wrappers. Fine. First edition.

He was active as a movie director in the period from 1917 until 1943, during which he directed 19 films. For the next 25 years, Kuleshov served as artistic director and academic rector at The Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography. The brochure was written by Mikhail Levidov (1891-1942), a Soviet writer, playwright, and journalist. 12) Garri, A. Ivan Mozzhukhin.

The actor continued starring in the talkies of the 1930s, although not as successfully as he had during the silent era. Mozzhukin was banned in the Soviet Union after his emigration.

Sheridan and Winslow Illinois IL. Fair. 1912. On offer is a sensational, significant 1912 manuscript diary handwritten by rebel Seventh Day Adventist preacher Edward Ballenger. [While the diary does not have a name inside many other family members' names are mentioned plus there are other innumerable clues confirming ownership.] Edward and his brother Albion are easily found in a number of online websites for their troubles within the Church and authorship of a number of books and mentions in many more books. Bio notes below details much of their story. The diary begins with Edward living in California and then in the summer he sells his ranch and heads back home to Sheridan and Winslow Illinois. He talks about his brother Albion and mentions Mrs. White. At the end of the diary in December there's a supposed suicide of a friend or family member which is thought to be a murder. BIO NOTES: Research finds that Edward Ballenger (1864-1955) and Albion Fox Ballenger (1861-1921) his brother [whose original manuscripts #0001986 we list separately] were raised as 7th Day Adventists and later became preachers. Albion started the "Receive Ye the Holy Ghost" movement which helped inspire the Holy Flesh movement in the Seventh-day Adventist Church and later was dismissed from the church. However after a trip to England on missionary work Albion started teaching a "new theology" and because of this and him turning away from the 7th Adventist Church he became somewhat of an enemy of the 7th Adventist movement. That's when he began writing books on the subject (one being the original manuscript in the other archive listed) and was even involved in a trial because of it. Online sources find "On Trial for Heresy, The A. F. Ballenger Story" which is a very detailed history on both of the brothers; Edward and Albion. Another site provides: "Albion and Edward Ballenger were leading critics of the Seventh-day Adventist Church beginning in the early days of the 20th Century and carrying forward to the death of Edward. In Edward's latter years, Donald Mote began helping him in his work. After Edward's death, Mote continued the work until the early 1990's. The trio were primarily against the sanctuary view commonly held by most Seventh-day Adventists. They also opposed the authority and position of Ellen G. White. Besides tracts and small publications their main voice was "The Gathering Call" magazine." Here are some snippets: "January 1st, We are still on the Cypress Ranch trying to sell but don't expect to be able to tell the crop is started. Ida's and Nellie's families are still at Tropico. Albion is traveling among the heretical and his family is at Riverside. Ethel is book keeper at Paradise. Pa is at Rellis (?) for a week. Am taking treatment of Dr. Hoar three times a week. Have a smoke a little twice a night. I have cut down my magazine and expect to read more books this year." "January 9th, Finished the water in the chicken yards and filled up the ditch. Mr. W. R. Miller came for me to go over to his place about 6. He and Mrs. M. had been having a racket. He was so drunk that he was foolish. He accused his wife of many things and among them of being familiar with other men. She kept very quiet. I don't think I accomplished anything. Yet I hope he may mention it to me when he is sober." "January 25th, Set some gopher traps in A.M. Pa, Em and I went with Milton Miller's to aviation park to see them fly. Mr. Miller took us in his auto for $1.50. Lincoln Reachy did some very fine and daring manoeuvrings. It was quite windy so much of the program was not carried out." "February 12th, Fog and cloudy but no rain. Mr. Miller has been drinking hard. I went over and helped him feed the horses and got his bottle of whisky. Mrs. M. and her mother came over and slept here for fear of him." "February 17th, Mrs. Miller came over before we were up with the baby and took breakfast with us, staying till we went to church. He declared he would take the baby to the city with him. Em and I went to Centralia where I spoke on war and money. Had good freedom. Mrs. M. was with us most of P.M. She just insists on my going to the states attorney and helping her to arrange for sending Mr. M. to Patton for drunkenness." "March 24th, Attended the conference in A.M. and spoke 30 minutes to the Japanese in the Gless St. Chapel in P.M. on Arming the Nations. My second experience in speaking, three and an interpreter. Eld. Warren followed me. Bro. Blunt managed the affair. 13 Japs were present. Em and I came home in eve. Found two letters, one from Albie the other from Bro. Pooler telling of Gust's death the 18th. He died very suddenly of apoplexy." "March 26th, Had a good rain last week. Planted some radishes and lettuce in morning and then Em and I came to the Convention and to Tropico. Had Dr. Dreffenbacker pull a tooth of me. Dr. Hoare gave me another treatment. The convention closed today. Eld. Andross was elected P.M. convention president, Reaser, Reg. Lib. Sec. and Prof Lucas Ed. Sec. There was a pull for me but some one said I was unsafe." "April 7th, Didn't have to smoke today. Em had a very restless night. Her neck didn't seem to be any better. Didn't do anything but keep house and take care of Em. Pa and Albion came out in eve to stay all night. Albion gave a reading in eve on "Spirit of Prophecy." He certainly has some new light on the subject. It is so foolish for our people to teach that Sr. White is the spirit of prophecy. Everyone has the testimony of Jesus who is a Christian." "April 20th, Road my wheel to Artesia and Dr. Oatis took me to Norwalk. Spoke on Matt. 24:14. Had good freedom. Called on Maud Daniel and her father and Bro. Patton. Maud is quite discouraged and almost rebellious. Her father is very poorly. Confined to his bed and can hardly speak in a whisper. Sr. Foster brought me back to Artesia and I rode the way home. Very strong S.W. wind. Haven't had to smoke since the 4th, and have gained 5 pounds." "April 29th, Had to smoke but once. Mr. Will Miller has been drinking heavily for a few days and he was pretty badly used up today so he wanted me to go to the city with him to see a Dr. I took him to Dr. Leadworth and he gave him an examination. Said there was a little valvular difficulty but no serious organic trouble. Took him to Dr. Diffenbaucher to have a double set of teeth made. He felt pretty bad all day." "May 6th, Didn't have to smoke. Had Mrs. King irrigate for me and I went to Bro. Uborall's funeral. He had an operation about a month ago and had a reaction which caused his death. Dr. Fullmer conducted the service and his wife sang two selections. The Dr. only talked about 15 min. and I never heard him do so poorly. I feel that I have lost a very warm friend. Bro. W. was in good condition spiritually. His niece Mrs. Frank Pomeri was there with her father. Albion was down and spent most of forenoon with him. Brought a new pair of rubber boots." "May 8th, Irrigated all day or till 5. Then Em and I drove Miller's rig to Centralia prayer meeting where after a good meeting we took up 80 sub. for the 6 weeks. R. L. Signs and the absent members will probably raise it to over 100. United Hiram R. Kay, age 48 to Helen Cargill, age 50, in marriage. This was Sr. C's 3rd marriage. The church had been expecting it but the particular time was a surprise to them. Bro. Kay gave me $5.00 the first fee I ever received or took." "June 7th, had to smoke about every 2 hrs. till after midnight then slept pretty well. Feel much better this A.M. This spell of asthma has been coming on for several weeks. Have been loosing weight for several weeks and my digestion has been poor. I have been greatly disappointed in not being able to sell. The irrigating has been very slow and while it has been easy I have dreaded it every day. I never was so anxious to sell in my life and yet I suppose it is best for me to stick to it for a time as it is poor discipline to run away from a job when it is in a discouraging condition……." "July 11th, called to see Sr. Dayton about cancelling the mortgage and then came to Artesia to meet Em and sign the deed but when I came. Em told me the Young's were at our house wanting to back out so we came right home. Had quite a talk with them and finally they decided to take the place and he paid me $500.10" "August 1st, Em and I came back to Tropico. I spent the day in the city. Bought my ticket to Sheridan for $47.05 via Denver, Kansas City, St. Louis and Chicago." "August 4th, Spent the day preparing to go east. Took the Salt Lake at 8 P.M. Dave and Litta came to train with us. The partings were all very hard because of the uncertainty of my return but the saddest of all was the farewell to Pa at Riverside. When I saw the tears rolling down his cheeks it broke me all up. I hope I may regain my health so I can make a pleasant home for pa and show him the kindness and love he deserves. He has been more than a father to me. I didn't think Litta thought so much of us till we come to part." "August 5th, Had a bad night. Had to smoke every 2 hrs. and then was very restless. I got all fagged out packing and would have had a bad night anyplace. Started out to be a very warm day. Crossed into Nevada a little after 8. It has been a sandy, alkali waste with a variety of palm cactus at intervals. As we neared Utah the monotony broke and it got a little cooler. Had to smoke several times during day and felt very stuffy." "August 7th, Had to smoke 3 or 5 times. At daylight we were 10240 ft. high in Tennessee Pass surrounded by snow and a heavy frost. The run thru the Royal George was fine. Had quite a thunder shower just before we reached Denver. Lightening struck the Catholic's Church and knocked off the cross. Reached Denver at 4 nearly an hour behind. Em and I went to the Colorado Tract Society 1112 Kalamath St. and then out to see the place. Em went on at 9:45 and I took a room at the Columbia Hotel. Have a large south room at $3.50 a week." (He's in Denver until the 29th of August where he attends lots of religious camp meetings) "August 29th, Took the 7:15. C. B. & A. for Omaha and when I reached there I found I had to go right on or get to Kansas City late at night so I went right thru. Reached K.C. office but they had moved so I took a room and then went out to Electric Park. Saw a man run an auto around a wall 67 ft. in diameter with one wheel on a 90 degree L and the other on 75 degree L. They had a fine ladies band of about 40 nice modest Y.L. (young ladies?) who played very fine. One girl played a comet solo as well as I ever heard. A very hot day." (On to St. Louis, then Chicago and now back in his home town of Sheridan) "September 3rd, In old Sheridan again. Didn't have a smoke. Rested fairly well for me. Ate no breakfast and took it easy all day. The folks all look quite natural. Amos is looking fine. Mother hasn't changed but very little. Lyde has turned somewhat grey and Vieve isn't very plump. Allie is about the same. Sheridan is the same old stagnant place only a few residences have been built. It is about as stagnant a place as I ever saw. No paper, no water system, no electric lights. A very hot sultry day." "September 18th, We all went to Ottawa to the fair. Had our dinner on the grass. Rained in the P.M. so it was very sloppy. This is the first fair except World's Fair I ever attended. Em and I went to Clarence Reed's and the rest of the folks retuned on the freight. My left hip kept me awake last night." "October 2nd, Jim Ells and I walked to Freeport about 2 ¾ miles and took the freight to Winslow. Took us until about 11 to get there. The Ill. C. runs but one passenger and one freight per day. After walking up town for a few minutes I went over to Aunt Wennie's and then up to Phene Black's where I ate dinner. Neither of them would have known me had they not known I was coming. The old home looks quite natural only the forests are gone. The old white oak tree near the front yard is gone. A number of windows have been taken out. After visiting awhile took a stroll up to Martintown thru the big woods. They are nearly all gone except a little piece on the east side. The sand bank has been deserted. Met old man Deets and his wife. They have been married 63 years. Martintown has grown smaller. The old grist mill and saw mill are still there. Wood Roocker runs them. He furnishes light to Winslow.

Tom's Brando-inspired bikers and leathermen. This is a mixture of multi-panel comics and single panel drawings and paintings, starting in the 1940s through the '50s, '60s, '70s and '80s. In 1953 "The Wild One", starring Marlon Brando as Johnny, leader of the Black Rebels Motorcycle Club, was released worldwide. In 1954 Tom of Finland, previously known for his military and blue-collar subjects, drew his first civilian motorcyclist dressed in black leather. Coincidence? Hardly. "The Wild One", originally marketed to a female audience with a poster featuring a close-up of Brando's face sans leather cap, hair tousled, cheeks and pout tinted pink with the tagline "That 'Streetcar' Man has a new Desire!", resonated far more with gay audiences, who took Brando's character as a template for the first leatherman. After seeing "The Wild One" Tom never drew men in brown leather again; black leather now dominated his fantasies, and his art. Tom adopted Brando's leather Perfecto jacket, white t-shirt, Levi's, and high boots as his signature look. It was this same look that Tom selected for Kake, his confident, ever-horny hero of 26 panel stories.Kake became Tom's fearless, outgoing alter ego, and bikers supplanted military men as his favorite subject. In "Tom of Finland Volume II - Bikers" we explore Tom's fascination with bikers through a mixture of multi-panel comics and single panel drawings and paintings, starting in the 1940s, before "The Wild One" fixed his taste on black leather, through the '50s, '60s, '70s and '80s. Historic film stills and posters, personal photos of Tom, sketches, and Tom's own reference photos make this far more than another Tom's Comics retread., Taschen, 2012-06-14, 6, Selections from photographer Steve Schapiro's archives provide an insider's view of the making of the legendary trilogy.

Large paperback in excellent condition, no remarkable flaws, this fine gift copy is inscribed, signed and dated by co-author Bobby Copeland: "To Bill Brennan. Blessings, Bobby Copeland 11/2005," Illustrated throughout with photographs, includes a Filmography and a Bibliography, "The amazing saga of one man's ride through early Hollywood" ; ; 130 pages; Signed by Author ., Culture House Books, 2005, 5, DK Publishers -, 2000. Hardcover/pub.2000/Gd. condition/270 pages - Shows the President in all of his many roles... from the cowboy gunslinger and war hero he played in the movies to president of the United States of America.... (TA14557z). Hard Cover. Good., DK Publishers -, 2000, 2.5, A COLLECTION OF 20 BROCHURES (INCLUDING 1 DUPLICATE) DEDICATED TO SOME OF THE MOST FAMOUS SOVIET AND FOREIGN MOVIE STARS AND DIRECTORS OF THE 1920S. The 1920s was a pivotal point in the history of Soviet film industry: the decision to import foreign movies into the Soviet Union resulted in the Hollywood completely taking over the Soviet market. American films dominate, inundate, glut, overwhelm the Russian motion picture houses today. Clara Kimball Young has a theatre devoted solely to her in Moscow. In the Arbat, centre of the workers' quarters of the Russian capital, a new building celebrates the glory of Douglas Fairbanks in electric letters three feet high... It is a bit depressing, - wrote an American journalist visiting the Soviet Union in the summer of 1925. Obsession with the Hollywood movie industry was bolstered by the Soviet state publishing house, Kinopechat [i.e. Cinema Press], which issued a series of booklets focusing on the popular foreign film idols and, very reluctantly, on the domestic ones. In 1926-1927, the number of the booklets dedicated to European stars reached one and a half million, compared to only 260,000 copies sold of the biographies of Soviet personalities. While American films retained their appeal right through to 1931 when imports ceased, it was not long before the profits made on the distribution of foreign movies were used to recover domestic film production. Enthusiastic work of the new avant-garde Soviet film-makers (Sergei Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin (1925), Ten Days That Shook The World (1927); Dziga Vertov's Man with a Movie Camera (1929); Vsevolod Pudovkin's Mother (1926), etc.) marked the beginning of the new Soviet cinema. The focus had finally shifted to the Soviet movie industry, and Kinopechat kept abreast of the Soviet audience's new preferences. From 1926, the number of booklets dedicated to the domestic actors gradually began to increase. Prominent art theorists and film directors narrated the stories of extremely popular movie industry stars (Soviet, American, European) in the small brochures distinguished with the constructivist design and photomontages. With the print run of approximately 20,000 copies, Kinopechat's pamphlets became a manifestation of El-Lissitzky's words: The (painted) picture fell apart together with the old world which it had created for itself. The new world will not need little pictures. If it needs a mirror, it has the photograph and the cinema. 1) Tolkachev, Ye. Standartnyy geroy Charl'z Khetchinson [i.e. A Standard Hero - Charles Hutchinson]. Moscow: Tea-Kino-Pechat', 1928. 16 pp.: ill. 17,5x12,9 cm. In original photomontage wrappers. Few damp stains. Otherwise near fine. Second edition. First edition published in 1927. An interesting brochure dedicated to the American film actor, director, and screenwriter Charles Hutchinson (1879-1949). Although Hutch directed numerous independent silent features (Hurricane Hutch in Many Adventures (1924), The Winning Wallop (1926), etc.), he is best remembered as Pathé's leading male serial star from 1918 to 1922. Hutchinson's most famous movies include: The Golden God (1917), Hutch Stirs 'em Up (1923), Hurricane Hutch in Many Adventures (1924). The brochure was written by Evgeniy Tolkachev (1896-1960), a Soviet journalist, publisher, and translator. 2) Oganesov, K., Yutkevich, S. Milton Sils [i.e. Milton Sills]. Moscow: Kinopechat', 1926. 16 pp.: ill. 15x11.5 cm. In original photomontage wrappers. Mild stains on the wrappers, tear of the spine. Otherwise in very good condition. Second edition. First edition published earlier that year. A booklet dedicated to the American leading man of silent pictures Milton Sills (1882-1930). Starting out as a philosophy professor, Sills debuted as an actor in the movie The Pit in 1914. By the early 1920s, Sills had achieved matinee idol status and was working for numerous film studios. His most famous works are: The Making of O'Malley (1925), The Knockout (1925), Puppets (1926), etc. Sills died suddenly of a heart attack while playing tennis at the age of 48. 3) Tatarova, A. Adol'f Menzhu [i.e. Adolphe Menjou]. Moscow: Kinopechat', 1927. 16 pp.: ill. 15x11.5 cm. In original photomontage wrappers. Former bookshop stamp on the verso of the front wrapper. Otherwise near fine. First edition. A brochure about American actor, Academy awards nominee, and the best dressed man in America Adolphe Menjou (1890-1963). Adolphe made his movie debut in 1916 in The Blue Envelope Mystery. After toiling in small roles for a few years, Menjou gained notoriety in Charlie Chaplin's A Woman of Paris: A Drama of Fate (1923). In 1931, Adolphe starred in the Front Page for which he received a Best Actor Oscar nomination. Menjou's exceedingly conservative political views and his drastic comments (Hollywood is one of the main centers of Communist activity in America) eventually tarnished his reputation to a degree. 4) Korolevich, V. V. Malinovskaya. Moscow: Kinopechat', 1927. 16 pp.: ill. 15x11.5 cm. In original photomontage wrappers. Fine. First edition. A short brochure about Soviet actress Vera Malinovskaya (1900-1988). She debuted in 1924 in a film To Everyone's Joy where she had a small part. But already next year she was casted in the successful The Stationmaster based on Pushkin's novel. It made her famous. In 1927, after her return from Soviet Russia, Mary Pickford gave a lengthy interview in which she had such a passage: In Russia, I met a charming young Russian star - a tall girl with long blond hair - she was the heroine of the best picture I've seen there, The Stationmaster. The brochure was compiled by Vladimir Korolevich (1894-1969), a Soviet poet, actor, and movie director. 5) Trauberg, I. Vil'yam Khart [i.e. William Hart]. Moscow: Kinopechat', 1926. 16 pp.: ill. 15x11.5 cm. In original photomontage wrappers by M. Getmanskiy. Fine. First edition. A small brochure about American actor, director, and the biggest money making star in the United States (1915/1916) William S. Hart (1864-1946). William entered movie industry at the age of 49. After playing supporting roles in two short films, His Hour of Manhood and Jim Cameron's Wife, Hart achieved stardom as the lead in the feature The Bargain. Making over 70 silent films by the time he was 60, Hart quickly became America's most important cowboy. He made his last movie, Tumbleweeds, in 1925, amid dwindling popularity, partly due to his disintegrating marriage to the Hollywood actress Winifred Westover, who accused Hart of extreme cruelty. If Cohen (Westover's attorney) claims I was physically cruel to my wife... I'll drill a hole in his stomach so big you can drive a twenty-mule-team borax wagon through it, - said Hart in his retort. Once the biggest money making star, Hart was no longer Hollywood's favourite - the actor retired to his Newhall ranch home in 1928. The brochure was compiled by Ilya Trauberg (1905-1948), a Soviet movie director and screenwriter. 6) Abramov, A. Garri Pil' [i.e. Harry Piel]. Moscow: Kinopechat', 1927. 16 pp.: ill. 15.2x11.5 cm. In original photomontage wrappers by Naum Sokolik. Fine. Fourth edition. First edition was published in 1926. A short brochure about Harry Piel (1892-1963), a prolific German actor, film director, and the Nazi activist, whose extreme popularity in the Soviet Union became a major concern for the Bolshevik authorities. Establishing the «Art Film Publishing House Company» in 1912, Harry Piel was only 19 years old when he directed his first feature Black Blood. In 1916, Piel got a leading role in a science fiction adventure, Die Grosse Wette. After directing eight "Joe Deebs" detective films, he created Harry Piel adventure series, performing his own stunts and becoming an internationally recognized star. German Douglas Fairbanks, as Harry was often referred to, was especially popular in the Soviet Union. A survey conducted in Krasnoiarsk suggested that Piel's screen persona appealed to children in particular. The anonymous reporter indignantly noted that quite a few of the girls answered the question What has cinema taught you? by saying: [That] I would like to marry Harry Piel, while the boys expressed their hope of being Harry Piel. The popularity of this actor was so great that the factories and Komsomol cells often organized discussions on how Communists should fight Harry Pielism (garripilevshchina). Design by the Soviet painter, poster artist, and member of the Society of Moscow Artists Naum Sokolik (1897-1944). 7) Ven, S. Amo Bek-Nazarov. Moscow: Kinopechat', 1927. 16 pp.: ill. 14.8x11 cm. In original photomontage wrappers. Fine. First edition. A booklet about Amo Bek-Nazarov (1892-1965), father of Armenian cinematography and one of the greatest film directors of all time. Amo entered the movie industry as an actor in 1914 and soon became one of the major stars of the pre-Soviet Russian cinema. He directed his first films The Patricide (1923), In the Pillory (1923), and The Lost Treasure (1924) in Tbilisi. In 1924, Amo returned to his native city of Yerevan, where he directed the first full-length Armenian feature film, Namus (1925), and the first Armenian sound film, Pepo (1935). In 1950, Bek-Nazarov directed Erkrord karavan. However, the film was canceled half-way through its production on direct orders from Joseph Stalin, a move that personally hurt Amo, who refused to direct any more films until the death of Stalin. After Bek-Nazarov's death in 1965, Armenfilm adopted his name to their full, official title in his honor. 8) Shebuyev N. Sofia Zhozeffi. Moscow; Leningrad: Kino-izd-vo RSFSR Kinopechat', 1927 ([Moskva]: tip. Gosizdata «Krasnyy proletariy»). 16 pp.: ill. 11.4x15 cm. In original photomontage wrappers. Tear of the spine. Otherwise fine. Second edition. First edition published earlier that year. A booklet dedicated to the famous Soviet silent film actress Sofia Zhozeffi (1906-1997). Sofia started her career as a child as a circus performer and gained widespread acclaim after starring in Ivan Perestiani's adventure film Krasnye dyavolyata [i.e. Red Devils] in 1923. In the following years, the actress played in numerous movies, among which the most famous is Legenda o Devich'yey bashne [i.e. The Legend of the Maiden Tower] (1923). In 1992, Sofia emigrated to the United States of America, where she lived until the end of her life. The booklet was written by Nikolay Shchebuev (1874-1937), a Soviet writer, journalist, and poet. 9) Abramov A. Olga Tretyakova.

In the period from 1923 until 1928, she played in more than 10 movies, with the most popular being Aleksei Popov's Dva druga, model' i podruga [i.e. Three Friends and an Inventation] (1927). During the Soviet repressions, Olga was arrested and exiled to a camp where she spent the rest of her life (date of death unknown). 10) Shklovsky, V., Eisenstein, S. A. Khokhlova.

After 7 years, Aleksandra married the famous Soviet filmmaker Lev Kuleshov and appeared in a number of his movies: Luch smerti [i.e. The Death Ray] (1925), Vasha znakomaia [i.e. Your Acquaintance) (1927), Velikii uteshitel' [i.e. The Great Consoler], etc. Khokhlova's career in film was cut short when she fell out of favour because of her family's wealth and connections with Tsar Nicholas II. The brochure was compiled by the noted Soviet literary theorist Viktor Shklovsky (1893-1984) and Sergei Eisenstein (1898-1948), who went down in history as one of the greatest Soviet film directors and the pioneer in the theory and practice of montage. 11) Levidov M.

He was active as a movie director in the period from 1917 until 1943, during which he directed 19 films. For the next 25 years, Kuleshov served as artistic director and academic rector at The Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography. The brochure was written by Mikhail Levidov (1891-1942), a Soviet writer, playwright, and journalist. 12) Garri, A. Ivan Mozzhukhin.

By 1939, Mozzhukhin had made over 100 films in the Soviet Union, France, Italy, the US, Germany, and Austria. The actor continued starring in the talkies of the 1930s, although not as successfully as he had during the silent era. Mozzhukin was banned in the Soviet Union after his emigration.

Sheridan and Winslow Illinois IL. Fair. 1912. On offer is a sensational, significant 1912 manuscript diary handwritten by rebel Seventh Day Adventist preacher Edward Ballenger. [While the diary does not have a name inside many other family members' names are mentioned plus there are other innumerable clues confirming ownership.] Edward and his brother Albion are easily found in a number of online websites for their troubles within the Church and authorship of a number of books and mentions in many more books. Bio notes below details much of their story. The diary begins with Edward living in California and then in the summer he sells his ranch and heads back home to Sheridan and Winslow Illinois. He talks about his brother Albion and mentions Mrs. White. At the end of the diary in December there's a supposed suicide of a friend or family member which is thought to be a murder. BIO NOTES: Research finds that Edward Ballenger (1864-1955) and Albion Fox Ballenger (1861-1921) his brother [whose original manuscripts #0001986 we list separately] were raised as 7th Day Adventists and later became preachers. Albion started the "Receive Ye the Holy Ghost" movement which helped inspire the Holy Flesh movement in the Seventh-day Adventist Church and later was dismissed from the church. However after a trip to England on missionary work Albion started teaching a "new theology" and because of this and him turning away from the 7th Adventist Church he became somewhat of an enemy of the 7th Adventist movement. That's when he began writing books on the subject (one being the original manuscript in the other archive listed) and was even involved in a trial because of it. Online sources find "On Trial for Heresy, The A. F. Ballenger Story" which is a very detailed history on both of the brothers; Edward and Albion. Another site provides: "Albion and Edward Ballenger were leading critics of the Seventh-day Adventist Church beginning in the early days of the 20th Century and carrying forward to the death of Edward. In Edward's latter years, Donald Mote began helping him in his work. After Edward's death, Mote continued the work until the early 1990's. The trio were primarily against the sanctuary view commonly held by most Seventh-day Adventists. They also opposed the authority and position of Ellen G. White. Besides tracts and small publications their main voice was "The Gathering Call" magazine." Here are some snippets: "January 1st, We are still on the Cypress Ranch trying to sell but don't expect to be able to tell the crop is started. Ida's and Nellie's families are still at Tropico. Albion is traveling among the heretical and his family is at Riverside. Ethel is book keeper at Paradise. Pa is at Rellis (?) for a week. Am taking treatment of Dr. Hoar three times a week. Have a smoke a little twice a night. I have cut down my magazine and expect to read more books this year." "January 9th, Finished the water in the chicken yards and filled up the ditch. Mr. W. R. Miller came for me to go over to his place about 6. He and Mrs. M. had been having a racket. He was so drunk that he was foolish. He accused his wife of many things and among them of being familiar with other men. She kept very quiet. I don't think I accomplished anything. Yet I hope he may mention it to me when he is sober." "January 25th, Set some gopher traps in A.M. Pa, Em and I went with Milton Miller's to aviation park to see them fly. Mr. Miller took us in his auto for $1.50. Lincoln Reachy did some very fine and daring manoeuvrings. It was quite windy so much of the program was not carried out." "February 12th, Fog and cloudy but no rain. Mr. Miller has been drinking hard. I went over and helped him feed the horses and got his bottle of whisky. Mrs. M. and her mother came over and slept here for fear of him." "February 17th, Mrs. Miller came over before we were up with the baby and took breakfast with us, staying till we went to church. He declared he would take the baby to the city with him. Em and I went to Centralia where I spoke on war and money. Had good freedom. Mrs. M. was with us most of P.M. She just insists on my going to the states attorney and helping her to arrange for sending Mr. M. to Patton for drunkenness." "March 24th, Attended the conference in A.M. and spoke 30 minutes to the Japanese in the Gless St. Chapel in P.M. on Arming the Nations. My second experience in speaking, three and an interpreter. Eld. Warren followed me. Bro. Blunt managed the affair. 13 Japs were present. Em and I came home in eve. Found two letters, one from Albie the other from Bro. Pooler telling of Gust's death the 18th. He died very suddenly of apoplexy." "March 26th, Had a good rain last week. Planted some radishes and lettuce in morning and then Em and I came to the Convention and to Tropico. Had Dr. Dreffenbacker pull a tooth of me. Dr. Hoare gave me another treatment. The convention closed today. Eld. Andross was elected P.M. convention president, Reaser, Reg. Lib. Sec. and Prof Lucas Ed. Sec. There was a pull for me but some one said I was unsafe." "April 7th, Didn't have to smoke today. Em had a very restless night. Her neck didn't seem to be any better. Didn't do anything but keep house and take care of Em. Pa and Albion came out in eve to stay all night. Albion gave a reading in eve on "Spirit of Prophecy." He certainly has some new light on the subject. It is so foolish for our people to teach that Sr. White is the spirit of prophecy. Everyone has the testimony of Jesus who is a Christian." "April 20th, Road my wheel to Artesia and Dr. Oatis took me to Norwalk. Spoke on Matt. 24:14. Had good freedom. Called on Maud Daniel and her father and Bro. Patton. Maud is quite discouraged and almost rebellious. Her father is very poorly. Confined to his bed and can hardly speak in a whisper. Sr. Foster brought me back to Artesia and I rode the way home. Very strong S.W. wind. Haven't had to smoke since the 4th, and have gained 5 pounds." "April 29th, Had to smoke but once. Mr. Will Miller has been drinking heavily for a few days and he was pretty badly used up today so he wanted me to go to the city with him to see a Dr. I took him to Dr. Leadworth and he gave him an examination. Said there was a little valvular difficulty but no serious organic trouble. Took him to Dr. Diffenbaucher to have a double set of teeth made. He felt pretty bad all day." "May 6th, Didn't have to smoke. Had Mrs. King irrigate for me and I went to Bro. Uborall's funeral. He had an operation about a month ago and had a reaction which caused his death. Dr. Fullmer conducted the service and his wife sang two selections. The Dr. only talked about 15 min. and I never heard him do so poorly. I feel that I have lost a very warm friend. Bro. W. was in good condition spiritually. His niece Mrs. Frank Pomeri was there with her father. Albion was down and spent most of forenoon with him. Brought a new pair of rubber boots." "May 8th, Irrigated all day or till 5. Then Em and I drove Miller's rig to Centralia prayer meeting where after a good meeting we took up 80 sub. for the 6 weeks. R. L. Signs and the absent members will probably raise it to over 100. United Hiram R. Kay, age 48 to Helen Cargill, age 50, in marriage. This was Sr. C's 3rd marriage. The church had been expecting it but the particular time was a surprise to them. Bro. Kay gave me $5.00 the first fee I ever received or took." "June 7th, had to smoke about every 2 hrs. till after midnight then slept pretty well. Feel much better this A.M. This spell of asthma has been coming on for several weeks. Have been loosing weight for several weeks and my digestion has been poor. I have been greatly disappointed in not being able to sell. The irrigating has been very slow and while it has been easy I have dreaded it every day. I never was so anxious to sell in my life and yet I suppose it is best for me to stick to it for a time as it is poor discipline to run away from a job when it is in a discouraging condition……." "July 11th, called to see Sr. Dayton about cancelling the mortgage and then came to Artesia to meet Em and sign the deed but when I came. Em told me the Young's were at our house wanting to back out so we came right home. Had quite a talk with them and finally they decided to take the place and he paid me $500.10" "August 1st, Em and I came back to Tropico. I spent the day in the city. Bought my ticket to Sheridan for $47.05 via Denver, Kansas City, St. Louis and Chicago." "August 4th, Spent the day preparing to go east. Took the Salt Lake at 8 P.M. Dave and Litta came to train with us. The partings were all very hard because of the uncertainty of my return but the saddest of all was the farewell to Pa at Riverside. When I saw the tears rolling down his cheeks it broke me all up. I hope I may regain my health so I can make a pleasant home for pa and show him the kindness and love he deserves. He has been more than a father to me. I didn't think Litta thought so much of us till we come to part." "August 5th, Had a bad night. Had to smoke every 2 hrs. and then was very restless. I got all fagged out packing and would have had a bad night anyplace. Started out to be a very warm day. Crossed into Nevada a little after 8. It has been a sandy, alkali waste with a variety of palm cactus at intervals. As we neared Utah the monotony broke and it got a little cooler. Had to smoke several times during day and felt very stuffy." "August 7th, Had to smoke 3 or 5 times. At daylight we were 10240 ft. high in Tennessee Pass surrounded by snow and a heavy frost. The run thru the Royal George was fine. Had quite a thunder shower just before we reached Denver. Lightening struck the Catholic's Church and knocked off the cross. Reached Denver at 4 nearly an hour behind. Em and I went to the Colorado Tract Society 1112 Kalamath St. and then out to see the place. Em went on at 9:45 and I took a room at the Columbia Hotel. Have a large south room at $3.50 a week." (He's in Denver until the 29th of August where he attends lots of religious camp meetings) "August 29th, Took the 7:15. C. B. & A. for Omaha and when I reached there I found I had to go right on or get to Kansas City late at night so I went right thru. Reached K.C. office but they had moved so I took a room and then went out to Electric Park. Saw a man run an auto around a wall 67 ft. in diameter with one wheel on a 90 degree L and the other on 75 degree L. They had a fine ladies band of about 40 nice modest Y.L. (young ladies?) who played very fine. One girl played a comet solo as well as I ever heard. A very hot day." (On to St. Louis, then Chicago and now back in his home town of Sheridan) "September 3rd, In old Sheridan again. Didn't have a smoke. Rested fairly well for me. Ate no breakfast and took it easy all day. The folks all look quite natural. Amos is looking fine. Mother hasn't changed but very little. Lyde has turned somewhat grey and Vieve isn't very plump. Allie is about the same. Sheridan is the same old stagnant place only a few residences have been built. It is about as stagnant a place as I ever saw. No paper, no water system, no electric lights. A very hot sultry day." "September 18th, We all went to Ottawa to the fair. Had our dinner on the grass. Rained in the P.M. so it was very sloppy. This is the first fair except World's Fair I ever attended. Em and I went to Clarence Reed's and the rest of the folks retuned on the freight. My left hip kept me awake last night." "October 2nd, Jim Ells and I walked to Freeport about 2 ¾ miles and took the freight to Winslow. Took us until about 11 to get there. The Ill. C. runs but one passenger and one freight per day. After walking up town for a few minutes I went over to Aunt Wennie's and then up to Phene Black's where I ate dinner. Neither of them would have known me had they not known I was coming. The old home looks quite natural only the forests are gone. The old white oak tree near the front yard is gone. A number of windows have been taken out. After visiting awhile took a stroll up to Martintown thru the big woods. They are nearly all gone except a little piece on the east side. The sand bank has been deserted. Met old man Deets and his wife. They have been married 63 years. Martintown has grown smaller. The old grist mill and saw mill are still there. Wood Roocker runs them. He furnishes light to Winslow. Road down to Winslow and went up to see Cora Steckel at school. She didn't know me. She looks quite old, warn and thin. Went home with her. Aunt Winnie looks about as usual only her right hand trembles quite badly. She still chews her tobacco." "October 5th, Didn't get up till nearly 9. Read awhile before dinner and then took a walk thru Cope's farm to Buchannan's pond and to Klasey's Mill and back via of Block's place. But what a change. Both ponds are no more; neither the mills. The ponds are now farm lands. The spring is filled up, the barn is torn down and the house is moved down to Sweeley's old place. Took supper with Cora. Went to town in eve. A nice day. Have had a smoke once each night." "October 16th, Wrote most of A.M. and went to Freeport in P.M. Called on Clara and Mary Swazey, Belle Taggart and Cora Farnum Burnwood. Took supper with Frank Richardson and then spent the eve with Charley Burnwood and family. Mrs. Farnum was with them. Charley is an active Christian worker now. Has two girls who sing nicely. Came back and stayed all night with Frank. He and his wife are the most deluded couple on religion that it has been my privilege to meet. They believe we live on the inside of the earth. There is no fact of science that they will not twist or destroy to carry their point. Didn't get to bed till after 11:30." "October 20th, Taught Jelma to make hammocks and then Jim brought me to the I. C. train. Reached Dixon at 11:10. Olive and George met me at the train and took me to the Evangelical Church where Pastor Smith spoke. He invited me to speak in eve so I spoke on Will the Old Book Stand. Didn't have very good freedom tho it seemed to be well received. Received a telephone message from Em telling me to come home as Frank Robertson had killed himself. Olive's home is a sad place. She can't talk five minutes without r, 1912, Selections from photographer Steve Schapiro's archives provide an insider's view of the making of the legendary trilogy.

Tom's Brando-inspired bikers and leathermen. This is a mixture of multi-panel comics and single panel drawings and paintings, starting in the 1940s through the '50s, '60s, '70s and '80s. In 1953 "The Wild One", starring Marlon Brando as Johnny, leader of the Black Rebels Motorcycle Club, was released worldwide. In 1954 Tom of Finland, previously known for his military and blue-collar subjects, drew his first civilian motorcyclist dressed in black leather. Coincidence? Hardly. "The Wild One", originally marketed to a female audience with a poster featuring a close-up of Brando's face sans leather cap, hair tousled, cheeks and pout tinted pink with the tagline "That 'Streetcar' Man has a new Desire!", resonated far more with gay audiences, who took Brando's character as a template for the first leatherman. After seeing "The Wild One" Tom never drew men in brown leather again; black leather now dominated his fantasies, and his art. Tom adopted Brando's leather Perfecto jacket, white t-shirt, Levi's, and high boots as his signature look. It was this same look that Tom selected for Kake, his confident, ever-horny hero of 26 panel stories.Kake became Tom's fearless, outgoing alter ego, and bikers supplanted military men as his favorite subject. In "Tom of Finland Volume II - Bikers" we explore Tom's fascination with bikers through a mixture of multi-panel comics and single panel drawings and paintings, starting in the 1940s, before "The Wild One" fixed his taste on black leather, through the '50s, '60s, '70s and '80s. Historic film stills and posters, personal photos of Tom, sketches, and Tom's own reference photos make this far more than another Tom's Comics retread., Taschen, 2012-06-14, 6, Selections from photographer Steve Schapiro's archives provide an insider's view of the making of the legendary trilogy.
