Item Details
Description
774. Casting composite photos on 24 folio displays depicting hundreds of feature players for 1926. (24) Folio size 19 in. x 25 in. photographic enlargements from 1926 which served as the Feature Players Directory of its time. Depicted in numerous categories such as "Ingenues", "Heavy Men", "Leading Women", "Juveniles", "Dogs", etc., one finds virtually every film industry performer of the time, regardless of studio association. Some notable names shown very early in their careers are: Boris Karloff, Fay Wray, Joan Crawford, Dolores del Rio, William Powell, etc., and one notable final appearance, Theda Bara, who retired that year. Folio sheets were muslin-backed at the time to protect them from handling, as many casting directors would search through these on a daily basis. Truly a remarkable and invaluable reference to hundreds of faces and names in film during that time period. Generally Very Good overall, with tattering along edges.
