This is another good example of what I'm trying to get across.
Several years ago Daniel was asking for images of different Marx Bros.
posters, I had one of the posters he was looking for and offered him the
image. He offered to purchase the right to have my poster photographed for a
35 mm slide for his book. I declined the money, but took it down town to a
studio and asked only if I could have a copy of the 35mm slide for
reference.
Daniel I believe needed the 35mm image to get a clear picture of the poster
for his book on Hirschfeld art
Anyway, these posters that are being copied for 11x17 or larger copy's are
not being taken off the internet...the images would not be very clear at
all. They are being bought!

Hey Mopo peeps,
Hope all has been going well for everyone. I think our love of the
flickers
is good for our tickers, but who knows? LOL.
I am looking to purchase images from anyone who might have any of the
hallowed Hirschfeld laden-images I've been looking for, for some time now.
I
have found a great many so far, but there are more out there :)
I must reiterate that my only goal is to see that these great images are
eventually put in very nice books for all of us--who simply can't own all
of
these great posters, regardless of how much couch change we are able to
apply towards a purchase. There are a lot of reproduction sales that go
on,
and that's not for me at all. (I'm not a fan of that practice.)
I am looking for some of the following Hirschfeld posters:
1. Flirting with Fate (Joe E. Brown six-sheet, MGM)
2. The Winning Ticket (Ted Healy, Leo Carrillo, six and three sheets MGM,
1935)
3. Stablemates (Mickey Rooney, Wallace Beery, MGM)
4. The Courtship of Andy Hardy (Mickey Rooney, MGM)
5. How to Behave (Robert Benchley short, MGM)
6. How to Sleep (Robert Benchley short, MGM)
7. What No Beer (Buster Keaton, three and six and 24 sheets, MGM)
8. Parlor Bedroom & Bath (Buster Keaton, three sheets A/B, 24 sheet, MGM)
9. Minn and Bill (Wallace Beery, Marie Dressler, three sheet, MGM)
10. Hollywood Party (Mickey Mouse, Jimmy Durante, Laurel & Hardy, et al.,
MGM, 1934)
11. Reducing/Politics (Marie Dressler Polly Moran, MGM)
Pressbooks:
1. A Day at the Races (Marx Brothers, MGM, 1937)
2. Babes in Toyland (Laurel and Hardy, MGM)
3. Parlor Bedroom & Bath (Buster Keaton, MGM)
4. Sidewalks of New York (Buster Keaton, MGM)
Jeez, guess that's a mouthful. Will pay $100.00 per image for a black and
white still of the images and $200.00 (plus cost to scan or make a
transparency of) the posters.
Thank you so very much.
Warmest regards,
Daniel...
