Title: Oscar Wilde (source), Alla Nazimova (actress, producer) SALOMÉ [1922] Lobby card
Creator: Nazimova Productions
Seller: Walterfilm, Inc. (United States)
Condition: Just About Fine
Description: Nazimova Productions. No binding. Just About Fine. [Los Angeles: Nazimova Productions, 1922]. Vintage original 11 x 14" (28 x 36 cm) lobby card. Tiny chip at blank bottom right border, card is in remarkable condition, just about fine. Although Charles Bryant received credit as director, it is known that Alla Nazimova in fact had a strong hand as co-director. Salomé is often called one of the first art films to be made in the United States. The highly stylized costumes, exaggerated acting, minimal sets, and absence of all but the most necessary props make for a screen image much more focused on atmosphere and on conveying a sense of the characters' individual heightened desires than on conventional plot development. Despite the film being only a little over an hour in length and having no real action to speak of, it cost over $350,000 to make. All the sets were constructed indoors to be able to have complete control over the lighting. The film was shot completely in black-and-white, matching the illustrations done by Aubrey Beardsley in the printed edition of Wilde's play. The costumes, designed by Natacha Rambova, used material only from Maison Lewis of Paris, such as the real silver lamé loincloths worn by the guards. In 2000, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". (Wikipedia)

Title: Better Left Unsaid
Author: Daisy Princess of Pless; edited with an introduction and notes by Major Desmond Chapman-Huston
Seller: ReadInk (United States)
Condition: Near Fine in Very Good dj
Description: New York: E.P. Dutton & Co., Inc.. Near Fine in Very Good dj. 1931. 10th printing. Hardcover. [good solid copy, slight bumping to corners of rear cover, internally very clean; the foil jacket is edge- and surface-worn but largely intact]. (B&W photographs, facsimiles) "Women will love this book," claims the jacket blurb (written by some man, no doubt). "It is an unerringly true picture of the personal life of this charming Irish-English woman of the nobility, who married a Prussian Prince and was compelled to live a life which was diametrically opposite to the dreams of her girlhood. Married to a man who never came to know her, living among strangers, bearing children who would grow up among alien traditions....." (Let's just stop right there, to contemplate again why "women will love this book," shall we?) This was the second memoir by this Welsh-born Edwardian society dame (born Mary Theresa Cornwallis-West), a member of the House of Hochberg, a wealthy Silesian royal family (Silesia is now part of Poland), who would go on to write a third (because life was just so full, y'know, for this "Princess in a sad fairy story"). Like its predecessor, it consists largely of reproduced entries from her diaries, in this case covering 1895 through 1914, with an additional chapter tacked on that sort of rushes through the postwar years, up to about 1924. (She had covered 1914-1918 in her previous book; to quote the jacket blurb again, this one "deals almost exclusively with her personal life, in contrast t the earlier book which touched more fully on politics and personalities.") As befits the nonstop name-dropping throughout, the index runs 38 double-columned pages. But to be fair (and despite my snarkiness), I guess maybe women did love it: this was already the tenth printing, only two months after its publication in the U.S. (It had previously been issued in England under the title "From My Private Diary.") ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.
