I hear the leaves and love the light : Sally in the back yard
Rare Books
"Robert Adams has for many years photographed the western American landscape, but here brings together thirty-two pictures made in his own back yard. In them he records the pleasures that a small dog and her human companions have found in a sanctuary less than fifty feet to a side. The dog, Sally, seems to have walked out of a children's book, and in fact Adams took inspiration from the title of a volume for young people by Judy Blume: Starring Sally J Freeman as Herself. "That's what happens in a garden," Adams explains with a smile. In the preface the photographer shakes free of orthodoxy, giving us in quick succession a metrical description of paradise from the dog's point of view, a reply to those who might charge sentimentality, and an outline for a creation story. The book is at once amusing and serious, local and far-reaching. Its theme is gratitude"--Dust jacket.

Visual Materials
The Fanchon & Marco collection contains approximately 1400 photographs depicting hundreds of Fanchon and Marco Inc. sets and performers between approximately 1925 and 1938. The collection also includes three boxes of ephemera, dated from around 1912 to 1940, that consist of newspapers clippings, musical scores, miscellaneous photographs, and the supplemental press books that were included with Fanchon & Marco's promotional magazine, Now (later The Idea), dating from 1930 and 1931. The 16 volumes (now disbound) of photographs in this collection served as a visual inventory for hundreds of Fanchon & Marco sets and performers. The images document the actors, dancers, costumes, sets, and concepts and appear to have been primarily photographed during rehearsals before the shows premiered in Los Angeles theaters such as Loew's State Theater and the Paramount Theater. The first volume contains some photographs presumably taken in San Francisco and later volumes include a few photographs by New York-based photographers. Photographers represented in the collection are: Archer's Art Shop of Los Angeles; Hollywood photographers Irving Archer; Archer's Studios; Curt Fox; Paralta Studios; and Harry Wenger. A few photographs include the imprints of Peerless Photo of Los Angeles, John Sirgio, H.W. Steward of San Francisco, Talbot of New York, Weaver of Los Angeles, and White Studio of New York.
