Vintage publicity photograph from the 1944 film, showing actress Louise Allbritton behind a camera. Printed mimeo snipe affixed to the verso. A teenage orphan from New England receives an inheritance for education, but instead uses it to travel to New York to pursue the object of her obsession, an Army surgeon. From the archive of noted Hollywood still photographer Ray Jones. Born in Wisconsin on January 1, 1901, Jones worked for Paramount Pictures in the early 1930s, and went on to be the head of the still photography department at Universal Pictures in 1935, where he worked well into the 1950s. 8 x 10 inches. Near Fine.

Vintage still photograph from the set of the 1931 film. Featuring Madge Evans and Lew Cody comparing binoculars while a very young and not yet famous Clark Gable smiles over their shoulders. Mimeograph snipe on the verso. Based on the short story "Horse Flesh" by Frederick Hazlitt Brennan, published in the "Saturday Evening Post" on September 13, 1930. An orphaned foal's journey through various owners, including that of nefarious gambler Ludeking (Hallam Cooley), before being returned to his loving breeder Jim (Ernest Torrence). Clark Gable's first starring role, as a card dealer with occasional moral failings, whose love story with Ruby (Madge Evans) makes for an entertaining side plot. Set in Kentucky, shot on location in Lexington, Kentucky and California. 8 x 10 inches. Just about Fine.

Two vintage reference photographs on the set of the 1929 film. Mimeo snipes on verso of both, one with annotations in manuscript pencil and Culver Picture stamp on verso, and one with "Menningen" and graphic stamps on verso. The first Black musical, and one of the first all-Black films by a major Hollywood studio, with arguably more depth than its predecessor, Paul Sloane's "Hearts in Dixie," the first all-black Hollywood film released earlier the same year. King Vidor's first talkie, written by screenwriter Wanda Tuchock, who started in the silent era and went on to become one of the first women to be credited as a director on a Hollywood film. Although King Vidor had expressed his intent of an honest depiction of rural southern African American life, the film still clearly advanced racial stereotypes of the era. "Hallelujah" had, however, authentically represented African American spiritual music from the period, which no other film achieved. Shot on location in Memphis, Tennessee and Arkansas. 8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus, with some creasing and waviness, one with a chip in the bottom left margin, one with faint tape shadows on recto and paper tape on verso. National Film Registry. Rosenbaum 1000.
