Description

From the seller: "Vintage binder containing 51 original mostly 8x10 photographs assembled semi-chronologically of fifteen productions at the Paper Mill Playhouse, from Paint Your Wagon in 1954 to Plain and Fancy in 1956. Almost all are 8x10, with a few that are more panoramic, and bear various markings on the backs in ink stamp and some pencil, indicating photographer and/or caption of scene. Captions on the front are either typed on the photo, typed on a label attached to the photo, or typed on a piece of paper and inserted in the vinyl pocket with the photo. Conditions on all are Very Good or Excellent, no creasing that I can see. Professionally shot. Every photo in the book is shown below - scroll down. Productions include (in order): 1) PAINT YOUR WAGON - Jan. 4 thru Jan. 30, 1954 (1 photo) 2) CARMEN - May 25 thru June 20, 1954 (1 photo) 3) THE GREAT WALTZ - June 22 thru July 25, 1954 (1 photo) 4) THE VAGABOND KING - July 27 thru Aug. 29, 1954 (2 photos) 5) MR. ROBERTS - Sept. 28 thru Oct. 17, 1954 (4 photos) 6) GOOD BYE, MY FANCY - Nov. 16 thru Nov. 28, 1954 (1 photo) 7) STALAG 17 - Nov. 30 thru Dec. 19, 1954 (1 photo) 8) SOUTH PACIFIC - Apr. 11 thru June 5, 1955 (6 photos) 9) GUYS AND DOLLS - June 7 thru July 10, 1955 (6 photos) 10) THE CAINE MUTINY - Sept. 10 thru Oct. 9, 1955 (4 photos) 11) HAPPY BIRTHDAY - Oct. 11 thru Oct. 30, 1955 (1 photo) 12) THE MUSIC MASTER - Nov. 22 thru Dec. 11, 1955 (2 photos) 13) PLAIN AND FANCY - Sept. 25 thru Nov. 4, 1956 (8 photos) 14) THE KING AND I - Apr. 3 thru May 27, 1956 (9 photos) 15) KISMET - May 29 thru July 8, 1956 (4 photos) A quite rare collection of photos that must certainly have come from from someone closely associated with the playhouse. Found recently in a Rockland County NY antique shop." The photos appear to be undamaged, except for light glue residue on the backs of some of the photos and ID labels on the fronts of some of them.
