Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Teshner puppet flm


The 1934 Puppetry Yearbook has photos of the Teschner nativity. On p 32
there is a mention of Teschner's first visit to London. (not clear if the
visit was in 1934 or 1933) but I am under the impression that the film was
made in London at that time.

I just came across an issue of Theatre Arts Magazine Oct 1923 with an
article by Helen Haiman Joseph, on Teschner. It is very well written and
there are 8 photos ( a few of them are unfamiliar to me) . The issue
features puppetry. There are 4 great photos of Perry Dilley puppets.

There is a very rare film- made in Austria I think
If I remember correctly it uses the Teschner puppets under the supervision
of a student or friend of Teschner's
