THE STAR, Guernsey (Channel Islands), May 8, 1945  * Great broadside on the end of World War II * Nazi occupied island the day before This English-speaking island in the English Channel was under Nazi control during World War II. This is a broadside issue (a single sheet printed on the front only; back is blank), of larger size than this newspaper typically published. It is printed in broadside fashion--just one column of text stretching from edge to edge--headed: * THE WAR IS OVER FOR GUERNSEY, German Officers Inform Bailiff of Surrender, Historic States Meeting At Mid-Dad To-Day Printed on either side of the masthead are: "War Is Over!" and "Good News Issue". This item measures 11 3/4 by 19 inches. It was once folded into a volume and when trimmed at the fold there was loss to just half of one line of text although still partially readable (see photos), and archivally mended on the reverse at this location. Otherwise the broadside is in excellent condition.

THE NEW YORK TIMES, from New York, dated November 14, 1940 * Walt Disney's "Fantasia" is reviewed upon its premiere Page 28 contains a quite lengthy review of the new animated feature-length movie produced by Walt Disney, titled "Fantasia". The review is headed: "Walt Disney's 'Fantasia' an Exciting New Departure in Film Entertainment, Opened Last Night at the Broadway" with the review taken an entire column (see photos for portions). Accompanying the review is an article headed: "Fantasia Discussed From the Musical Standpoint--Sound Reproduction Called Unprecedented" which is quite lengthy as well (see for portions). Fantasia is a 1940 animated film produced by Walt Disney, and is the third film in the canon of Disney animated features. Fantasia is an experiment in animation and music, consisting of classical music presented against the backdrop of animation and featuring no dialogue, only spoken introductions by Deems Taylor before each animated segment, as well as during the intermission segment, "The Sound Track". The music is recorded under the direction of Leopold Stokowski; seven of the eight pieces were performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra. Animated artwork of varying degrees of abstraction or literalism is used to illustrate or accompany the concert in various ways. The film also includes live-action segments featuring Stokowski, the orchestra, and American composer and music critic Deems Taylor, who serves as the host for the film. Besides its avant-garde qualities, Fantasia was notable for being the first major film released in stereophonic sound, using a process dubbed "Fantasound" (credit Wikipedia). The review includes a photo from the movie, and the facing page includes an advertisement for: "Today, First Regular Performances..." of Fantasia (see). This is the complete 48 page newspaper which is in the rag edition in great condition.

THE EVENING POST, Jersey, July 9, 1940 * Great issue on Nazi occupation within United Kingdom *  Very rare This is a small island in the English Channel which was under the occupation of the Nazis during most of World War II. This issue is from the very beginning of German occupation, as the entire ftpg. is printed like a huge broadside, headed: "Orders of the Commandant of the German Forces in Occupation of the Bailiwick of Jersey." detailing the 12 points which must be followed (see photos). The balance of the issue is in typical newspaper format with news and ads. Complete in 4 pages, never bound nor trimmed, some foxing at the folds, generally very nice. A very rare newspaper.

Complete text can be viewed in the photos below. The 1st time review also has a two column illustration of Dumbo. On the same page is a 7 x 4 inch theater ad for this movie as well. This issue has news of the day with other interesting ads. Light browning, otherwise in nice condition. wikipedia notes: Dumbo is a 1941 animated feature film produced by Walt Disney and first released on October 23, 1941 by RKO Radio Pictures. The fourth film in the Disney animated features canon, Dumbo is based upon a child's book of the same name by Helen Aberson and illustrated by Harold Perl. The main character is Jumbo Jr., a semi-anthropomorphic elephant who is cruelly nicknamed Dumbo. He is ridiculed for his big ears, but in fact he is capable of flying by using them as wings. Throughout most of the film, his only true friend aside from his mother is the mouse Timothy, parodying the stereotypical animosity between mice and elephants. Dumbo was made to make up for the financial losses of Pinocchio and Fantasia. The film has been criticized as being racist (the leader crow in the film is named "Jim Crow"), yet is also considered to be one of Disney's finest films. It was a deliberate pursuit of simplicity and economy for the Disney studio, is now generally regarded as a classic of animation. At 64 minutes, it is one of Disney's shortest animated features.

THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS, September 29, 1941  * Ted Williams ends the season above .400  * Boston Red Sox  A doubly nice sports issue, as the ftpg. features a bold, banner headline: "65,000 WILL SEE TITLE BOUT" with a front page photos of Joe Louis & Lou Nova shaking hands at the weigh-in. But certainly the better report is on the front page of the sports section which has a report of Ted Williams ending the season above .400 (the last ball player to do so; now 68 years ago). The 3 column head near the bottom of the page reads: "Williams Followed Duffy's Advice; Hit .406" and subhead: "Old-Timer Advised Ted to Stay in Lineup; He Did, and How!" with a nice photo showing Ted Williams kissing the bat he used to finish out his season at .406.

THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS, September 29, 1941 * Ted Williams ends the season above .400 * Boston Red Sox A doubly nice sports issue, as the ftpg. features a bold, banner headline: "65,000 WILL SEE TITLE BOUT" with a front page photos of Joe Louis & Lou Nova shaking hands at the weigh-in. But certainly the better report is on the front page of the sports section which has a report of Ted Williams ending the season above .400 (the last ball player to do so; now 68 years ago). The 3 column head near the bottom of the page reads: "Williams Followed Duffy's Advice; Hit .406" and subhead: "Old-Timer Advised Ted to Stay in Lineup; He Did, and How!" with a nice photo showing Ted Williams kissing the bat he used to finish out his season at .406. The photos show the full article. The complete issue, never bound nor trimmed, some wear at the margins & the central fold with some archival strengthening at the folds.

THE NEW YORK TIMES, Nov. 14, 1940 * Walt Disney's "Fantasia" is reviewed upon its premiere Page 28 contains a quite lengthy review of the new animated feature-length movie produced by Walt Disney, titled "Fantasia". The review is headed: "Walt Disney's 'Fantasia' an Exciting New Departure in Film Entertainment, Opened Last Night at the Broadway" with the review taken an entire column (see photos for portions). Accompanying the review is an article headed: "Fantasia Discussed From the Musical Standpoint--Sound Reproduction Called Unprecedented" which is quite lengthy as well (see for portions). Fantasia is a 1940 animated film produced by Walt Disney, and is the third film in the canon of Disney animated features. Fantasia is an experiment in animation and music, consisting of classical music presented against the backdrop of animation and featuring no dialogue, only spoken introductions by Deems Taylor before each animated segment, as well as during the intermission segment, "The Sound Track". The music is recorded under the direction of Leopold Stokowski; seven of the eight pieces were performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra. Animated artwork of varying degrees of abstraction or literalism is used to illustrate or accompany the concert in various ways. The film also includes live-action segments featuring Stokowski, the orchestra, and American composer and music critic Deems Taylor, who serves as the host for the film. Besides its avant-garde qualities, Fantasia was notable for being the first major film released in stereophonic sound, using a process dubbed "Fantasound" (credit Wikipedia). The review includes a photo from the movie, and the facing page includes an advertisement for: "Today, First Regular Performances..." of Fantasia (see). This is the complete 48 page newspaper which is in very nice, clean condition.

The British are here to expel the Germans, and we are free!..." with much more. Note also "Freedom" in the masthead. Pages 2 & 3 have various related reports concerning the "Clearing out of the Germans". Complete in four pages, never bound nor trimmed, measures 12 1/4 by 13 inches, some chipping at the right margin not affecting nor even close to any text.

THE NEW YORK TIMES, from New York, dated October 5, 1940 * Sugar Ray Robinson's debut pro fight * Madison Square Garden * Boxing This 30 page newspaper has a historic report in boxing on page 10. A night of boxing was held at Madison Square Garden which involved various fights including the main event at the end as usual which was a title fight. One column headlines on page 10 include: * ARMSTRONG, ZIVIC IN TITLE MEETING * Los Angeles Negro Makes 20th Defense of Welterweight Crown at the Garden and more. Within this report near the end mentions a undercard fight involving a man by the name of Ray Robinson. This in fact was the famous Sugar Ray Robinson making his professional debut that night. He would go on to what many considered the greatest pound for pound boxer ever. A small mention but a very 1st  being that he wasn't famous at the time. Is is what it is. (see photo for complete text) Nice to have from the city where it happened. Other news of the day throughout. Light browning with minor margin wear and a archival tape mend along the top of the front page (unrelated), otherwise in good condition.

THE NEW YORK TIMES, from New York, dated November 15, 1943 * Quarterback Sid Luckman - Chicago Bears sets six records * Leonard Bernstein conducts the New York Philharmonic The sports page has a large headline reading: "Giants Crushed by Luckman's 7 Scoring Passes; 6 Records Toppled" which includes to photos as well. Among the many subheads are: "56,681 See Bears Run Up 56-7 Score" and more (see photos). Luckman is in the NFL Hall of Fame, is in the Jewish Sports Hall of Fame, his 7 touchdown passes is a record which has been matched but not topped, and in this same game was the first 400 yard passing game in NFL history. Also, Luckman is considered the first modern T-formation quarterback. Also of significance is the front page report of 25 year-old Leonard Bernstein taking over as conductor of the New York Philharmonic. The article carries over to the back page where there is a photo of Bernstein being congratulated by members of the orchestra after his his Carnegie Hall debut (see). This issue is complete in 40 pages and is a "rag edition", meaning printed on very high quality newsprint still remaining very white. The back page is slightly toned, otherwise is in very nice condition.

THE STARS AND STRIPES, London Edition, April 19, 1945  * Ernie Pyle death  * Famous World War II journalist  * In a famous military newspaper  One can only imagine what the owner of this actual newspaper thought when reading this article for the first time involving one of their their American heroes of that time. This is a great issue to hang framed on the wall of any military or journalist enthusiast. The front page has a two column headline: "Ernie Pyle Is Killed In Action on Pacific Isle" with photo of Pyle. (see) Other military news within this 8 page issue. Some browning, otherwise in good condition. A great title to have this in. Wikipedia notes: On December 9, 1945, in Germany a day before he was due to return to the United States, Patton was severely injured in a road accident. He and his chief of staff, Major General Hobart R. "Hap" Gay, were on a daytrip to hunt pheasants in the country outside Mannheim. Their 1939 Cadillac Model 75 was driven by PFC Horace Woodring (1926 - 2003). Patton sat in the back seat, on the right with General Gay on his left, as per custom. At 11:45 near Neckarstadt, (Käfertal), a 2½ ton truck driven by T/5 Robert L. Thompson appeared out of the haze and made a left-hand turn towards a side road. The Cadillac smashed into the truck. General Patton was thrown forward and his head struck a metal part of the partition between the front and back seats. Gay and Woodring were uninjured. Paralyzed from the neck down, George Patton died of an embolism on December 21, 1945 at the military hospital in Heidelberg, Germany with his wife present. Patton's grave in Luxembourg Patton's grave in Luxembourg Patton was buried at the Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial in Hamm, Luxembourg along with other members of the Third Army.[18] On March 19, 1947, his body was moved from the original grave site in the cemetery to its current prominent location at the head of his former troops. A cenotaph was placed at the Wilson-Patton family plot at the San Gabriel Cemetery in San Gabriel, California, adjacent to the Church of Our Saviour (Episcopal), where Patton was baptized and confirmed. In the narthex of the sanctuary of the church is a stained glass window honor which features, among other highlights of Patton's career, a picture of him riding in a tank. A statue of General Patton is between the church and the family plot. Patton's car was repaired and used by other officers. The car is now on display, with other Patton artifacts, at the General George Patton Museum at Fort Knox, Kentucky.

THE DETROIT FREE PRESS, Michigan, October 3, 1942 * Sugar Ray Robinson vs. Jake Lamotta * Boxing - Boxers * 1st of 6 fights * From Robinson's birth place This 22 page newspaper has a one column headline on page 14: "Robinson Wins Easily over Lamotta". This was the first fight before the famous defeat of Robinson by Lamotta. Other news of the day throughout. Nice to have in a Detroit newspaper where Robinson grew up before moving to Harlem at the age of 12. Light browning with some margin wear but no text loss, otherwise good. wikipedia notes: In 1942, Robinson knocked out Zivic in the tenth round in a January rematch. The knockout loss was only the second of Zivic's career in more than 150 fights. Robinson knocked him down in the ninth and tenth rounds before the referee stopped the fight. Zivic and his corner protested the stoppage; James P. Dawson of The New York Times stated, however, that "[t]hey were criticizing a humane act. The battle had been a slaughter, for want of a more delicate word." Robinson then won four consecutive bouts by knockout, before defeating Servo in a controversial split decision in their May rematch. After winning three more fights, Robinson faced Jake LaMotta, who would become one of his more prominent rivals, for the first time in October. He defeated LaMotta via unanimous decision. Robinson weighed 145 lb (66 kg) compared to 157.5 for LaMotta, but he was able to control the fight from the outside the entire bout, and actually landed the harder punches during the fight. Robinson then won four more fights, including two against Izzy Jannazzo, from October 19 to December 14. For his performances, Robinson was named "Fighter of the Year". He finished 1942 with a total of 14 wins and no losses.

SOUTH PACIFIC DAILY NEWS, June 7, 1944  * D-Day invasion of France * Rare military title This was one of many newspapers published by the soldiers at the various installations throughout the theaters of war during World War II. typically they were rather crudely done, of small size & printed in small quantities. This issue has a more professional look than most and has the top half of the ftpg. announcing: * Invasion  Allied Armies Land In North France Almost the entire 14 pages deal with the invasion with some reflection upon the efforts already accomplished in the war. Measures 8 by 13 inches, apparently done on a small mimeograph machine, red ink in the masthead, various drawings throughout. Once stapled at the top which has since been removed. Generally nice condition with very mild margin wear. Terrific to have this signal event in a small "camp" newspaper.

Other news of the day with advertisements throughout. Some slight browning, otherwise in nice condition. Historical Background: "Mix died October 12, 1940, in an auto accident in Florence, Arizona in which he was killed by a suitcase. He was driving his 1937Cord 812Phaeton at night between Tucson, Arizona and Phoenix, Arizona on a two-lane road, when he came upon a bridge that had been washed away in a flash flood. Mix's car catapulted across the empty space and crashed into the other side. The metal-hardened suitcase he had packed and put on the seat behind him flew free and struck him in the back of the head, shattering his skull and killing him instantly. The accident occurred on what is now Arizona State Route 79. A historical marker is located at the accident site. Mix is interred in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California." source: wikipedia </div>

EVENING PRESS, Island of Guernsey, April 27, 1942  This is a fascinating newspaper as the Channel Islands, which include Guernsey, were under Nazi control early in WWII given their location off the coast of France.  Although printed in English because Guernsey residents were British, the bias is entirely pro-Nazi. Most of the ftpg. is taken up with: "The Fuehrer Speaks: HERR HITLER ASSUMES SUPREME COMMAND, Heralds Final Blow in Britain's Downfall". The text begins with a quote by Adolph Hitler: "Britain can win nothing in this war. She will lose, and this fact will be recorded in her history. The destiny of peoples and states should be entrusted neither to cynical drunkards nor to the feeble-minded; in this conflict Germany will be victorious..." with more (see photos for portions), including much antisemitic rhetoric. Also on the ftpg. is: "Low Altitude Raids on Bath".. The issue is coplete in 4 pgs., 4 small binding holes at the blank spine margin, measures 12 by 17 inches, great condition.
