As early as 1896, a group of Greenwich Village artists, poets and other artistic and literary personalities were meeting weekly at Maria Del Prato's Italian restaurant on MacDougal Street. The group, which became known as The Pleaides Club, included Paul Du Chaillu, Mark Twain, Stephen Crane, William Garrison, Clara Louise Kellogg and other luminaries among its early members. As it grew and needed larger quarters, the group first moved to the Black Cat then to the Hungaria, eventually settling in at the Hotel Brevoort in 1906. The club's mission was simply to provide a convivial and friendly audience to inexperienced artists through its weekly meetings and publication of their work in its yearbook, The Pleiad.

Manoscritto / Collezionismo cartaceo
Revised Estimating script for the 1960 film belonging to actor Martin Landau, here under the working title "The Life and Death of Legs Diamond." Laid in are five carbon typescript pages of script with Landau's name written in manuscript ink to upper right and annotations to dialogue of lead character Legs in manuscript pencil. Landau was considered for the lead role of Jack "Legs" Diamond, which from the laid in pages, we can reasonably assume were for an audition for the part. Ray Danton was ultimately cast as Legs, and Landau does not appear in the film. From the estate of Martin Landau. Jack "Legs" Diamond (Ray Danton) and his sickly brother Eddie (Warren Oates) move to New York City, and after a brief incarceration, sets their eyes on taking over kingpin mobster Arnold Rothstein's (Robert Lowery) criminal businesses.
