BIOGRAPHY:
Hamilton Condon had a varied theatrical career as an actor, dancer, puppeteer and scenery designer from at least 1920. He was a puppeteer and performer with the Greenwich Village Follies, a series of musical revues at Broadway theaters during the 1920s. According to information received from a grandson of American film director F. Herrick Herrick (1895-1987), Hamilton and Clarissa Condon (nee Radcliffe) were living in Nassau, the Bahamas, in the 1930s and proposed that Herrick write a screenplay about their lives. Though the movie was never made, Herrick took slides of them at work which still survive. In these undated photos, the Condons appear to be in their fifties or sixties. Works given to Herrick by the Condons are in the same style and format as the offered examples. In addition, a pair of similar fashion studies signed by the Condons were in the Collection of H.R.H. the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, sold Sothebys, New York, 1998.
