Date Sold 2/4/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 10 Original 1923 Vintage (measure from 5" x 9" [13 x 23 cm] to 7" x 8 3/4" [18 x 22 cm]) Stills (Learn More) Pearls and Savages (released in the U.S. in 1923 as "The Lost Tribe"), the 1921 Frank Hurley silent Australian Papua New Guinea native documentary. Note that this movie was first released in Australia in 1921 and it was quite successful (Hurley often went to screenings to give lectures). Hurley then visited Papua New Guinea again to shoot additional footage, which was added to the original film and released as With the Headhunters in Papua. This new version was also released in the U.S. as The Lost Tribe but it was not very successful. We have found a January 1924 Missouri full-page newspaper article for this film with the headline "Has the Lost Tribe of Israel Been Found at Last?". The Lost Tribes of Israel were ten "tribes" of Jews who left Israel around 775 AD, and many theories exist as to where they went, and if any of them still survive in the modern world, and one theory is that at least some of them went to Africa, and this movie was saying that the natives they discovered might have been descended from one of the Jewish "Lost Tribes". There is some modern scientific evidence of this. See this link for more info. Important Added Info: SUPER IMPORTANT! THOUGH ONLY EIGHT OF THE STILLS ARE PICTURED, THE HIGH BIDDER ON THIS LOT WILL RECEIVE 10 STILLS FROM THIS MOVIE (but realize that on some of these lots with 9 or more stills there may be a few duplicates, mostly on post-1960 lots)! We realize there is an element of gambling to this, but we made only a small effort to find the best stills in these lots, and, if you have any willingness to gamble at all, you may find that you get some great stills that were not pictured! Please do NOT bid on this lot unless you can accept that you are only seeing eight of the stills.
