Re: [MOPO] Upcoming Heritage Auction

2012-03-16 Thread Phillip W. Ayling
Bruce,
As you have written:

"It IS great Phil, but I always heard that WB refused to use Jessel both 
because he was not well enough known outside New York, and also because he was 
too "ethnic" (Jewish looking) and that they insisted on Jolson instead. Can you 
verify either story?"

I can't verify those stories other than to be sure that you are reporting them 
accurately. What I have heard repeatedly is that Jolson was the third person to 
be offered the part; Jessel supposedly wanted too much money and then an offer 
was made to Eddie Cantor, who also turned it down.

What I do know for sure is that WB was not opposed to using Jessel in their 
films!!! In 1926 Jessel had starred in a film for Warners called "Private Izzy 
Murphy". I don't know what percentage of box-office receipts came from outside 
of New York, but it was considered a big hit for the studio. Interestingly the 
premise of that film was completely "ethnic" as follows:


"Isadore "Izzy" Goldberg ( Georgie Jessel) changes his name to I. Patrick 
Murphy because his store is in an Irish-neighborhood in New York City. He meets 
Eileen Cohannigan, the daughter of a meat-packer, and he tells her he is Irish 
and a romance begins. When America enters World War I, "Izzy" enlists, is sent 
to France, and is wounded while engaged in a heroic rescue during a big battle. 
While recovering in an overseas hospital, he write Eileen and tells her he is 
Jewish and not Irish. Returning home, he is parading with his regiment and he 
sees Eileen with Robert O'Malley, his old rival. He thinks she has thrown him 
over because he is Jewish. An Irish lodge comes to bestow an honor on the man 
they think is Patrick Murphy, an Irish hero. But O'Malley tells them his real 
name is Goldberg. But Eileen tells him it is he she loves, and they head for 
the marriage-license bureau"


Warners also made another '"Izzy Murphy" film with Jessel in 1927 called 
"Sailor Izzy Murphy" as well as a third film called "Ginsberg the Great". Both 
of these films had Vitaphone sound effects and music scores (which was record 
discs synchronized to film).The Jazz Singer would have been Jessel's 4th film 
in a row at Warners.

Warners was working out the deal to buy the rights to "The Jazz Singer" with 
the Broadway Producers, and they had already cast Georgie Jessel in the lead 
(as he had been on Broadway). Once they decided to move ahead with the 
Vitaphone process to add singing in this film, Georgie Jessel is reported to 
have said word to the effect of  "I wasn't hired to sing; I was hired to act; 
singing is going to cost you more". The contract that he had signed didn't 
specify singing or talking. Further negotiations broke down, Jessel walked away 
from the film and it ended his blossoming career at Warners. 

The Warner Bros were very proud of their heritage as Askenazi Jews and while I 
don't know how that might have impacted any casting decisions they would have 
made on The Jazz Singer or any other film, I do know that among the Hollywood 
Studios they felt strongly about producing films that explained the role of 
immigrants in early 20th Century American society. I certainly don't think the 
Warner Bros themselves ever did anything other than to embrace their ethnicity, 
so it would surprise me if they would have rejected Georgie Jessel for a film 
on the basis that he wasn't believable as a Cantor's son or that they somehow 
wanted to gloss over that element.

The Jazz Singer is often remembered now as the first talkie or about Al Jolson 
in blackface, but I think it also spoke to generational conflicts not only 
between a Cantor and his son, but also between the Warner Bros and their 
immigrant father. I suspect that it being a big hit on Broadway played a role 
in Warners wanting to develop the property, but I also think the film spoke to 
them and their roots.

In any event, the Warners stood very strongly against the Nazi regime in 
business matters during the early 1930's. They behaved differently from almost 
all the other studios. You might find the following link interesting 
http://huc.edu/newspubs/pressroom/07/2/CinemaJudaica.shtml and were placed on 
an extermination list had Hitler prevailed in WWII

I think it is no accident that Warners made The Jazz Singer; Confessions of a 
Nazi Spy and Casablanca. All I know.

Yes it’s nice but I don’t think it’s the best I’d go with the US or UK 3 sheet 
as the best which ARE absolutely stunning especially in that format. Insert 
reminds me allot of the Italian paper on the title as they use allot of photo 
montage, like this one does.

Re: [MOPO] Where are the before pictures??

2012-03-16 Thread Richard C Evans
Playing Devil's Advocate:

Since before pictures could only be shown when available, and that wouldn't 
always be possible, it wouldn't be a level playing field for consignors without 
it being done across the board.

I didn't find the pics on APF particularly bad, (in the main), but I think I'm 
cautious about the reality versus the perception of backed/restored posters 
generally.

How much better is the condition of the majority of restored posters from that 
era?

I have no idea.

 Must say I am very impressed by the Heritage catalog/PA poster find. I
 will say I would never bid on a high ticket poster that was
 discovered/purchased by an auction house in need of restoration, restored,
 but no "before" photos were put in the auction catalogs. When an original
 "Mummy" one-sheet was auctioned by a major auction house a few years ago,
 they cheerfully offered a picture of the "before" (the unrestored poster)
 in their catalog. I will stay away...

Re: [MOPO] Where are the before pictures??

2012-03-16 Thread Sean Linkenback
Well of course one can only hope that the consignor has taken into 
consideration how not having your bids will affect the final hammer price.


I wonder if Grey and his staff could still show interested bidders before 
photos?  Has anyone even bothered to ask?

(or maybe only purchasers who are willing and able to bid have asked)

Sean-No, I didn't bid because I saw how hammered the piece was prior to 
restoration. But I was appreciative of the auction house for supplying the 
"before" photo. And you are right, it is up to the consignor (or owner, in 
this case) to supply or not supply the "before" images. The owner chose 
not to. And I choose not to bid. I'm sure Grey & his accomodating staff 
would be delighted to show me whatever posters I desire to examine in 
person, but they cannot show me the unrestored pieces now, and I haven' 
seen most of the unrestored images...

Just curious Glenn,
Were you a bidder on the Mummy one-sheet because they included a "before"
picture?

Pretty sure it is probably up to the consignor of the posters if they 
would

like to include "before" photos or not.
Even still, no photo could replace seeing the posters in person and I am
sure Grey and his staff make every effort to accommodate real bidders who
might be interested in any of the pieces.

Must say I am very impressed by the Heritage catalog/PA poster find. I
will say I would never bid on a high ticket poster that was
discovered/purchased by an auction house in need of restoration, 
restored,
but no "before" photos were put in the auction catalogs. When an 
original
"Mummy" one-sheet was auctioned by a major auction house a few years 
ago,
they cheerfully offered a picture of the "before" (the unrestored 
poster)

in their catalog. I will stay away...

[MOPO] Upcoming Heritage Auction

2012-03-16 Thread Phillip W. Ayling
The upcoming Heritage Auction includes a very interesting Exhibitor Book for 
Warners 1926-27.

2012 March 23-24 Dallas Vintage Movie Poster Auction #7055
Included in the photos for this auction item is something called "The Jazz 
Age". Warners never made that film, (though Douglas Fairbanks appeared in a 
film by that title several years later). 
This Exhibitors Book actually contains Warners' first reference to theatre 
owners about "The Jazz Singer"  That's why it says "Title To Be Announced". It 
was their hope to have songs in the movie as they were perusing Vitaphone 
technology right at this time and they were trying to get original Broadway 
Star Georgie Jessel (The Jazz Singer was a big hit on Broadway in 1926) to do 
the film version and had to "settle" for Al Jolson.
