- Summary
The volume contains 300 pages; however, most are not used. The ledger, apparently maintained by the Property Department, is organized by director. A typical entry starts with the production number followed by a handwritten itemized list of props with the quantity and a brief description. Most of the items are clothing or accessories, such as shirts, hankerchiefs, or hats. The ledger was apparently used to check material in and out and there are signatures and dates throughout.
- BiographyGoldwyn Pictures Corporation, an American motion picture production company, was formed in 1916 by Samuel Goldfish and Edgar and Archibald Selwyn. Samuel Goldwyn, who subsequently changed his name from Goldfish, was associated with the company, originally located in New Jersey, until 1922. A merger between Metro Pictures Corporation and Goldwyn Pictures Corporation the following year, followed by a merger with Louis B. Mayer Pictures in 1925, resulted in the formation of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
