A propos de cet article

Original theater program, H 20.75cm x L 13.75cm, comprised of single sheet folded to form four pages. Purple ink stamp mostly within box at top of page 1 "STAR THEATRE | TUE WED FEB 3 4" followed by handwritten pencil notation "1914" underneath. Page 1 printed text as: DANIEL FROHMAN | PRESENTS | [image of James O'Neill] | JAMES O'NEILL | IN HIS FAMOUS VERSION OF DUMAS' MASTERPIECE | "THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO" | A PHOTO PLAY | PRODUCED BY THE | FAMOUS PLAYERS FILM CO. | ADOLPH ZUKOR, PRESIDENT. Strong creasing, multiple short tears, some soiling, and program folded into thirds with two strong horizontal fold-lines. Promotional text and images on pages 2-4 summarizing the plot development in each of the five reels comprising the silent film aka photoplay. Front cover has image of actor James O'Neill, father of playwright Eugene O'Neill, in a dramatic pose. The elder O'Neill started playing the lead in a stage adaptation of Alexandre Dumas famous novel in 1875 and, although he tried other plays, kept retuning to his most popular and financially lucrative role causing movie producer Adolph Zukor to hire O'Neill in 1912 to reprise the role in what would be the first production of Zukor's Famous Players Film Company. This theater program doesn't mention the other cast members but the movie was directed and photographed by Edwin S. Porter and co-starred Nance O'Neil as Mercedes and was released in late 1913. This particular program came from an estate with family roots in Macoupin County, Illinois north of the metropolitan St. Louis area so the "Star Theatre" was probably located in that region. Only fair condition at best but early film memorabilia is uncommon. This item was probably printed in New York by the Famous Players Film Company (as the predecessor of Paramount Pictures, the firm had its first offices in Manhattan's Times Building and didn't move to California until 1915) and was "customized" to a local theater by a simple ink stamp.…
