HORSE FEATHERSAustralian Pre-War Daybill (15" X 40")Very Fine- on Linen Paramount, 1932Fashioned after Sam Berman's artwork done domestically for this film, this is a wonderful and rare poster for one of the brother's greatest. Prior to restoration, this poster had issues, including fold wear with separation and some scattered chipping. The poster has had sporadic airbrushing in areas, minor touchups including to the title, and now on linen displays wonderfully.For Marx Brothers aficionados, the five films they released through Paramount - beginning with The Cocoanuts (1929) and ending with Duck Soup (1933) - represent their best work. Horse Feathers was the fourth movie of that hallowed quintet, taking place on the grounds of Huxley College, a venerable institution led by the new president, Quincy Adams Wagstaff (Groucho), where an important football game against rival Darwin College is about to be played. Throw in Thelma Todd as a sexy vamp trying to steal Huxley's playbook for Darwin, as well as a couple of memorable songs, including "Whatever It Is, I'm Against It," and you have all the makings of a madcap classic. This lot will be auctioned on Thursday, December 7th. The auction will begin at 9:30am PST and lots are sold sequentially via live auctioneer; tune in to the live streaming broadcast on auction day to follow the pace.

THE COCOANUTSReproduction One-Sheet (27.25" x 42.25") Autographed by Groucho MarxNear Mint Rolled Paramount, 1976In 1976, celebrity photographer Steve Schapiro had high-quality, full-size (27"x 41") prints made of the one-sheets for the Marx Brothers' "The Cocoanuts" and "Duck Soup" on heavy paper. His plan was to have Groucho Marx hand-sign each in pencil with his full name, at which point Schapiro would add the edition number. However, due in part to old age, Marx altered the "G" in "Groucho" while signing, after previously maintaining a consistent signature style for years. Consequently, genuine "Groucho" autographs from 1976, including the one made on this litho, are often considered dubious. In this case, it is definitively genuine, with authentication provided by Groucho's former personal secretary and UCLA archivist Steve Stolair. Stolair also consulted on a number of books and documentaries about his former boss's family. Paper featuring Marx's full signature after the mid-1950s is considered scarce. In addition to the Marx signature at the bottom of this print, the edition number "224/250" is handwritten in the lower left corner.This limited-edition lithograph exhibits a faint smudge line in the lower right corner.This lot will be auctioned on Thursday, December 7th. The auction will begin at 9:30am PST and lots are sold sequentially via live auctioneer; tune in to the live streaming broadcast on auction day to follow the pace.

MONKEY BUSINESSSilk Screen Jumbo Window Card (21" x 26.75")Very Fine- Rolled; Artist Constantin Alajalov Paramount, 1931 The silk-screened jumbo window card offered here features delightful artwork by Russian illustrator Constantin Alajalov (1900-1987), whose unique graphics also grace the covers of The Saturday Evening Post, the New Yorker, and Fortune, and who contributed most of the promotional artwork for this release.This rarely seen jumbo window card features iconic artwork of the brothers. It displays signs of age, including scuffing in the lower left, primarily within the Zeppo image. It generally doesn't detract from the image.The third picture to feature the manic Marx Brothers, the first to boast an original screenplay (as opposed to an adaptation of one of the Brother's stage shows), and the first to be made in Hollywood (previous films were shot at Paramount's Astoria studios in Queens, New York). This crazy Pre-Code comedy revolves around the foursome (Groucho, Harpo, Chico, and Zeppo) stowing away aboard an ocean liner and the hijinks that ensue when they run afoul of a pair of gangsters. This lot will be auctioned on Thursday, December 7th. The auction will begin at 9:30am PST and lots are sold sequentially via live auctioneer; tune in to the live streaming broadcast on auction day to follow the pace.

ROLLAND ROMAIN: (1866-1944) French Dramatist & Novelist, Nobel Prize winner for Literature, 1915. An excellent and rare set of two documents, one Manuscript Autograph & one A.L.S., Romain Rolland, two and one pages respectively, 4to and 8vo, Villeneuve - Vaud, Villa Olga, 28th April 1935, to Pierre Marcel Levy, in French. The first document, being a Manuscript Autograph which Rolland entitles `Quinze Ans de Combat´, is a lengthy report of the author providing us with details relating to the genesis of his work with same title, stating in part `Ce livre est le journal de route d´un écrivain independent, au cours des quinze à vingt années qui ont vu les bouleversements politiques et sociaux du monde. L´intelligence a fatalement participé à cette grande “mutation”. Elle a subit ces profondes secousses, et réagit à leurs ébranlements. Il lui a bien fallu, dans le combat qui, depuis les premiers jours d´Août 1914, avec des trêves apparentes, mais sans arrêt, se livre sur toute la terre (guerres, revolutions, contre-révolutions, etc..) prendre parti dans l´une ou dans l´autre des armées. Même ceux qui pretendent s´abstenir, par leur abstention même, favorisent celui des camps qui, à cet instant où ils désertent, est le plus fort…´ (Translation: “This book is the travel diary of an independent writer, during the fifteen to twenty years that have seen the political and social upheavals of the world. Intelligence fatally participated in this great “mutation”. It has suffered these profound shocks, and reacts to their shaking. In the fight which, since the first days of August 1914, with apparent truces, but without stopping, has been fought all over the world (wars, revolutions, counter-revolutions, etc.), it had to take part in one or the other of the armies. Even those who claim to abstain, by their abstention itself, favour that of the side which, at this moment when they desert, is the strongest side”) Rolland further states `Ce livre est la confession de l´écrivain qui s´efforça, pendant la guerre, de faire entendre sa voix “au-dessus de la mêlée” des nations, qui a tenté obstinément, après la guerre, de maintenir les droits de “l´indépendance de l´esprit”, de sauvegarder le grand Credo individualiste de l´âge precedent, et qui a dû, en révisant sincèrement toute son idéologie, en la confrontant à la sévère réalité, se dépouiller de son manteau de préjugés, arracher les plus tenaces, les plus chers, qui nous collent à la peau: ces superstructures idéologiques, comme dit Marx, qui font une caste de l´esprit et de ses servants, qui les scindent du milieu vivant… Il faut que l´esprit rentre dans le rang. C´est la condition même pour qu´il reprenne vie, dans l´homme vivant, l´homme integral, l´homme social, l´homme humain…´ (Translation: “This book is the confession of the writer who strove, during the war, to make his voice heard “above the fray” of nations, who stubbornly tried, after the war, to maintain the rights of “the “independence of the spirit”, to safeguard the great individualist Creed of previous ages, and which had, by sincerely revising its entire ideology, by confronting it with harsh reality, to strip itself of its cloak of prejudices, to tear off the most tenacious, the most dear, which stick to our skin: these ideological superstructures, as Marx says, which make a breed of the spirit and its servants, which separate them from the living environment... The spirit must enter into the row. It is the very condition for it to come back to life, in the living man, the integral man, the social man, the human man…”) Before concluding, Romain quotes a Victor Hugo sentence, and referring to his book, says `Il n´est pas une simple autobiographie. Selon le mot profond de Victor Hugo, “nul de nous n´a l´honneur d´avoir une vie qui soit à lui”. L´évolution qui est ici contée est celle d´un temps. “Une génération pourra, espère l´auteur, y reconnaitre une partie de la propre route, de ses élans, de ses tourments, de ses erreurs, de ses ténèbres, et sa lumière retrouvée”´ (Translation: “It is not a simple autobiography. According to the profound words of Victor Hugo, “none of us has the honour of having a life that is his own”. The evolution that is recounted here is that of a time. “A generation will be able, the author hopes, to recognize part of its own path, of its impulses, its torments, its errors, its darkness, and its rediscovered light”) A manuscript of extremely interesting content. Together with an A.L.S., `Romain Rolland´, to Pierre Marcel also, saying `Ma lettre d´hier s´est croisée avec l´envoi des premiers exemplaires de “Quinze ans de combat”…´ (Translation: “ My letter of yesterday was sent at the same time of the sending of the first copies of “Quinze ans de combat”) Rolland adds a lengthy post-scriptum referring to additions and changes to a future new edition of the book. Overall small creasing to the manuscript with repair to the verso to the central fold. G Pierre Marcel Levy (1878-1953) French Writer, author of multiple scholarships works about Arts. Quinze Ans de Combat (1919-1934) was published in 1935. The work contains multiple articles written by Rolland between 1919 and 1933 which were split among two books, Quinze Ans de Combat and Par la Révolution la Paix, these two books became bibliographical rarities after having being destroyed and forbidden in 1940.
