Spine a trifle sunned else and excellent copy.Rubert Hughes was a critic, author and film maker and a firm supporter o anything progressive. The beginning of the twentieth century evolved out of an era of Freethinking atheists and agnostics who challenged the Protestant hegemony of the day. Key among these mavericks was author and filmmaker Rubert Hughes, uncle to Howard Hughes. In 1922, Hughes published Souls for Sale, his wickedly playful satire of the Bible belt and Hollywood, offering a mischievous snapshot of the film industry as it struggled against a conservative Zeitgeist."Prescott Chaplin (1897-1968), printmaker, painter, writer and lecturer, was born in Seattle, Washington but raised in Boston, Massachusetts where he was educated in private schools. He studied writing with George Sterling, Jack London and Herbert Forder, and art with George Bellows, William M. Chase, Max Bori and John Butler.Chaplin was a rover and over the years he wrote for newspapers and periodicals across the country. In 1930, he published a portfolio of woodcuts entitled Mexican Woodcuts, which was exhibited nationally at colleges and galleries as well as in Mexico and Cuba. His other published books include To What Green Altar? and Pershing Square.After establishing himself in Los Angeles in the 1930s, he eventually opened the Prescott Chaplin School of Art. During the 1930s and 1940s he wrote screenplays for Hollywood and his list of credit included Private Jones, Never Give a Sucker an Even Break, For Women Only, and Women of the North Country.Chaplin was a member of the Chicago Galleries Association, Santa Barbara Art Association and the International Print Guild. His work is represented in numerous private and public collections including the Los Angeles Public Library, Scripps College and Lehigh University." (Annex Galleries).…

Vintage publicity photograph of W.C. Fields and Gloria Jean from the 1941 film. 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. Told as a "real life" film starring Fields as himself, "Never Give a Sucker an Even Break" is an off-beat and slightly bizarre spoof on the Hollywood and filmmaking industry of Fields' time. The film doesn't quite follow a storyline, and is instead intentionally riddled with inconsistencies, forgotten characters, and wacky plot holes. 8 x 10 inches. Near Fine.…
