Item description from seller

Presentation copy. SIGNED & INSCRIBED by the author to cinema legend D.W. Griffith in black ink on ffep: "To D.W. Griffith Esq, with the authors highest regard. London. April '22. C.F. Higham". Nice florid inscription. This being D.W. Griffith's own copy, who is referenced in the book by the author. Two chapters have penciled X's & arrows to content's page, presumably in D.W. Griffith's hand. The two chapters are titled The Value of the Emotional Appeal, & The Future of the Cinematograph (which is dog-eared at the beginning of the chapter). Interesting to note that in this second chapter regarding cinematography the author references D.W. Griffith & "visualises the future of the photo-drama" in which he predicts newsreel & documentary form, plus the cinema as a use for propaganda. Higham notes: "Think of the opportunities the serial form affords. A history of England, France, or Greece, given nightly, in instalments, and lasting for a week. You think such epic dramas are impossible? Then you did not see their foreshadowing in Mr Griffith's extraordinary Babylonian scenes. In that justly famous film 'Intolerance' [1916], one caught a glimpse of the future of the photo-drama". Higham naively goes on to predict travelling cinema, in which he notes: "The travelling cinema of the future will have something of the nature of the old-time packman and fair. It will bring news and entertainment from the outside world. This innovation must wait until certain technical and economic difficulties can be overcome. And the danger of fire stands in the way of the use of the village hall. But one can conceive of a portable, collapsible asbestos building which could be erected on the village green". D.W. Griffith had been to England during this time & was involved in WW1 cinema. Unusual early reference to promotion, publicity, cinema, public relations & advertising. "Sir Charles Frederick Higham (1876-1938) was a British publicist, advertising consultant prominent in World War I & a Conservative Party politician elected as the Member of Parliament for Islington South in the County of London for one term, from 1918-22. During the First World War the importance in waging a successful war against Germany & Austria-Hungary of advertising for army recruitment was realised by the government & Higham was appointed a member of the Committee on Recruiting Propaganda. He was later appointed Director of Publicity for the National War Savings Committee. He was knighted in 1921 for his wartime creativity & services. Higham was the author of a number of books on advertising." Title page printed in black & red. Printed in London. Bound in publisher's original pale blue cloth with dark blue lettering to front board & spine, beveled edges. No dustjacket. Some pages unopened. Slight handling wear, split to upper outer guttering of front hinge, covers lightly toned/stained, mild foxing, toning to preliminary pages, otherwise a nice clean tight solid hardcover copy. Internally very good. 183pp. Scarce SIGNED copy with important association, being D.W. Griffith's copy. RARE.
