Struss arrived in Hollywood shortly after WWI, and almost immediately found significant cinematography work, with such directors as D.W. Griffith, DeMille, Mamoulian, Murnau and later Chaplin and Orson Welles. He won the first ever oscar for cinematography in 1927, for the film "Sunrise", directed by Murneu. In the typed signed letter, Karl Struss thanks Ken and Gerrie for sending a hand-made book of the film "Lady of the Pavements" starring William Boyd and Lupe Velez. There are 22 b & w stills from the film in the book and a nice full-page photo of David Wark Griffith (the director) as a frontispiece. Gerrie was related to Griffith's wife. Both books are included in this offering. They comprise a nice candid look into Hollywood in the 1920s and '30s. Unique collection. Inscribed by Author(s).
