Auction History Result 2s244 DANCERS 8x10.25 still '30 c/u of Lois Moran & Phillips Holmes standing in doorway! Date Sold 11/15/2015![]() Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) The Dancers, the 1930 Chandler Sprague Canada/England romantic love triangle melodrama ("From a play by Sir Gerald du Maurier and Viola Tree"; a wild story of a poor aristocrat in London who goes to Canada, leaving behind his sweetheart; he gets involved with a pretty dancer, but when he becomes heir to a title, he returns to London to marry his sweetheart, but she was not faithful to him, and she confesses it to him, and he says he forgives her, but she has already taken poison and dies, so he goes back to Canada and marries that girl!) starring Lois Moran, Phillips Holmes, Walter Byron, Mae Clarke, Mrs. Patrick Campbell, Tyrell Davis, and Rick Vallin. Note that this movie was a remake of a 1925 movie, with virtually the same story, except the man goes to South America instead of Canada, and it starred George O'Brien. Also note that Phillips Holmes had made an impression in some movies in the late 1920s. In 1931, he would get the lead in the first version of "An American Tragedy", which made it seem like he would become a major star, but that didn't materialize. He had a major affair with Libby Holman, but that was certainly complicated, and when they broke up, she immediately married his brother! Oddly, years later, Holman would have another very complicated affair with Montgomery Clift, who played the same part in the remake of "An American Tragedy", re-titled "A Place in the Sun". Sadly, Holmes died in a plane crash in 1942. I am very surprised no one has made a movie about his life, or a joint movie about him and Libby Holman! Finally, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
