Hey New York MoPo’ers,
I am trying to find (remotely as I reside in LA—or at least I think that is
where I am) a suitable place to professionally scan a drawing of Will B.
Johnstone (wrote the Marx Brothers stage play, “I’ll Say She Is”, and
contributed to the script—and pressbook art—to “Monkey Business”) by James
Montgomery Flagg. His great-granddaughter lives in New York (347 area code) and
I am trying to help her have it digitized so it can be in a Film Art of the
Marx Brothers book I am working on (I’m designing it, my first design project,
so get out the mop for my slop) it full-time until I get it finished.
What is also cool, is that Meg has drawings that her great-grandfather did
while on the set of “Monkey Business”, including the director Norman Z. McLeod,
all four Marx Brothers—Groucho in an indian headdress from the costume ball
scene, etc.
I know when I visited New York a long time ago (a decade or so ago) Todd F.
showed me a guy with the biggest flatbed scanner I’ve ever seen—Todd had a
jumbo window card to a 1935 horror classic, that is al least 22x28 (1/2 sheet
size too.), but I think that gentleman is out of business.
Thank you,
Daniel Kinske…
P.S.—Today is the 40th anniversary since Groucho extinguished his last cigar. I
remember that day very well, I did a doodie in my diaper as my immature manure
homage...
