Description
Paramount. No binding. Near Fine. [Los Angeles: Paramount Pictures, 1932]. Vintage original 8 x 10" (20 x 25 cm) black-and-white glossy silver gelatin photo. Near fine. A beautiful portrait of Anna May Wong for one of her most substantial roles in a major talking film, the notorious pre-Code opus Shanghai Express directed by Josef von Stroheim. Though Wong received third billing behind Marlene Dietrich and Clive Brook, her portrayal of Hui Fei is universally regarded as a masterclass in acting. Hui Fei is a fiercely independent woman navigating a train ride from Peking to Shanghai during the Chinese Civil War, which is hijacked by rebel forces. Her performance often overshadowed Dietrich's. Unfortunately, she would not be cast in another role as complex as this. (Wikipedia) Photo coded P671-245.

(WORLD WAR II IN JAPAN). ALS. 2pgs. October 1, 1945. Hirosaki, Japan. An autograph letter signed Dale [Christensen], written home by an Allied serviceman stationed in Japan shortly after the official end of World War II. Well I havent had a chance to write for some time. We made it up here O.K. but the ship sure was loaded. We landed at Aomori and this place is inland about 30 miles. We have had no trouble at all. We spent the first night at an airport and then moved to another Army camp the next day, then the third bn came up and took over here. I was in on the big thing at this camp, I came up with the first gen jeeps and saw the Jap General sign the camp over to us, then to top it all off I was picked to take the Jap General to his home. He talked to me all the way but I didnt know a thing he said. When he got out he saluted me. He seemed happy about the whole thing. The climate here is good and cool. We have a big mt right afore us and it looks just like Mt Fugiama [sic]. They say it sure gets cold here in the winter. The rice is just headed out and it is very pretty here but I hope I can soon come homeWe are cleaning this camp up now it sure needed it. I dont see how the Japs lived in it. Bugs and dirt all over. We sure are making a change in the looks of it. They say they might give each one of us a Jap Rifle and bayonet to take home, I dont think there is any thing to it. I sure would like to have one. They sure can grow the fruit and garden stuff here but they sure are way behind in the way to live. I think even behind the PhilippinesThe papulation [sic] of this place in 97,000 and Aomori 57,000. Aomori was bombed and it sure was smashed and burned. Well we have a few Japs working in this camp, and I think as a whole they will like better from now on that ever before. There clothes are all patches but they look healthy and happy. Well I will write more later. I hope we soon get a mail call. Tell Ann and the rest Hello. Everything is fine here. Write soon. Dale. The letter is in fine condition.

Frances Elizabeth Caroline Willard was an American educator, temperance reformer, and women's suffragist. Willard became the national president of Woman's Christian Temperance Union in 1879 and remained president until her death in 1898. Her influence continued in the next decades, as the Eighteenth (on Prohibition) and Nineteenth (on women's suffrage) Amendments to the United States Constitution were adopted. Willard developed the slogan "Do Everything" for the WCTU and encouraged members to engage in a broad array of social reforms by lobbying, petitioning, preaching, publishing, and education. During her lifetime, Willard succeeded in raising the age of consent in many states as well as passing labor reforms including the eight-hour work day. Her vision also encompassed prison reform, scientific temperance instruction, Christian socialism, and the global expansion of women's rights.
