FRANKIE AND JOHNNIE or HIM
By John Sloan
Located in Portland, ME
Sloan, John (American, 1871-1951). FRANKIE AND JOHNNIE. or HIM Morse 236. Etching, 1928. Edition of 100 (but only 50 were printed, by Platt). Dated and Titled in the plate, and Signed in pencil by Sloan and inscribed "100 Proofs," and also signed by Peter Platt. With tack holes and deckled edges. 5 x 8 inches, 126 x 203 mm. (plate), 8 1/2 x 12 1/4 inches (sheet). In excellent condition.
From Morse:
" A small chorus singing 'Frankie and Johnnie' crowds the tiny stage of the Provincetown Players Theater in MacDougal Street. An episode from E. E. Cummings' intelligent and entertaining production, HIM." (Sloan writing in 1945).
"HIM" is about as thrilling an evening's entertainment as I have ever experienced. I liked it thoroughly -- I do not claim to understand it -- I do not believe that a work of art can be, nor need be understood, even by the maker. It seemed to me to be a glimpse inside the cranium of an artist-poet." (Sloan in a letter to James Light, the director of the play)
Though Morse says the stars were Hemsley Williams and Goldye Steiner, it was actually Hemliey Winfield (1907 - 1934), the founder of the New Negro Art Theater Dance Group. This company was very successful and highly regarded. It appeared in the Metropolitan Opera's premier of Louis Gruenberg's setting of Eugene O'Neill's "The Emperor...

Born in 1943 in the heart of the Texas ranch, Wayne Baize was the son of a stock farmer, whose main crops included cotton, wheat and livestock. It was from his hard working father, a man who was more comfortable with a horse drawn plow than its mechanized counterpart, that Baize gained not only a strong work ethic but an innate love for animals and the people who cared for them. Baize paints a way of life influenced by not only his own upbringing, but also by gene...

Cummings’ intelligent and entertaining production, HIM.“ –John Sloan, from the catalogue Raisonné 'John Sloan's Prints', Peter Morse, Yale University Press, 1969.
‘Frankie and Johnnie’ is a traditional American popular song. It tells the story of a woman, Frankie, who finds her man Johnny making love to another woman and shoots him dead. Frankie is then arrested; in some versions of the song she is also executed. The song was inspired by one or more actual incidents of murder due to jealousy. At least 256 recordings of "Frankie and Johnny" have been made since the early 20th century. Singers include Big Bill Broonzy, Mississippi Joe Callicott, Johnny Cash, Sam Cooke, Frank Crumit, Bob Dylan, Lena Horne, Mississippi John Hurt, Lead Belly, Jerry Lee Lewis, Van Morrison, Fats Waller...
