Thomas Ince Story Treatments,Shooting Scripts
<B>Original Story Treatments and Shooting Scripts from Triangle Motion Picture Company, 1915-18.</B></I> A total of 16 original story treatments and two shooting scripts (unfilmed) from archives of Triangle Motion Picture Company (formed by Thomas H. Ince, D.W. Griffith, and Mack Sennett), including: <I>The Throwback</B></I> by Oscar-nominated writer Josephine Lovett, with notes on Ince's ownership (in an unknown hand) on cover: "Property of NYMPC.

Ince directed films for New York Motion Picture Company (NYMPC) before partnering up with Griffith and Sennet in 1915, making this treatment a fairly early one from his Hollywood years, one that he took with him from NYMPC to Triangle.

Two "shooting scripts" are also included: <I>A Yankee Princess</B></I> by W.H. Clifford, and <I>Her Price</B></I> by Lanier Bartlett (with a handwritten note on the censors' editing of the "spicy" story). In overall Very Good condition with center creasing, moderate age-toning, minor nicks to borders, and very minor rusting from original clips. Each stored in original, labeled filing envelopes from Triangle archives. <I>From the Thomas H. Ince Archives.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
