An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Rex Beach's The Spoilers, the 1930 Edward Carewe Alaska gold mining romantic melodrama ("Rex Beach's immortal story"; "You've never seen this picture before!"; "Strong Men - in their grim struggle! Women- of one kind or another! Love-hate-conflict in a land where a weakling didn't belong!"; "Greatest of Yukon romances!"; based on the novel "by Rex Beach"; about three men who have a gold mine in Alaska, but local crooks who run the town try to legally steal it away from them) starring Gary Cooper, Kay Johnson, Betty Compson, William 'Stage' Boyd, Harry Green, Slim Summerville, Oscar Apfel, and William Farnum (in a bit part as a fight spectator; he played the original hero in the 1914 version of this movie!). Note that there were two silent movies based on this same Rex Beach novel (in 1914 and 1923), and two later sound versions (in 1942 and 1956). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this cool candid by Paramount photographer Earl Crowley shows how Paramount recreated Alaska for this movie in California's Big Tujunga Canyon, and they lucked out, because the watchman at the dam was an elderly man who had been one of the first men in Nome, Alaska, after the big gold strike at the turn of the century, and they hired him to show Gary Cooper how to authentically pan for gold! Condition: good to very good. The still was attached to an album page, and there are paper remnants on the back, which has caused creasing and slight discoloration on the front (see our images).
