Date Sold 3/8/2020Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 6 stills (ranging in size from 7 1/2" x 9" to 7 1/2" x 9 1/2") from Grand Hotel. The stills in this lot have a MOST unusual origin. They were found in a Texas movie theater in 1972, when the theater was being torn down. There were stills glued to boards that were displayed on one of the walls of the theater. Our consignor "rescued" these stills (and others, which we are auctioning in other bulk lots) by cutting them from the board. The stills have been trimmed (see our images). Obviously, the new owner of these could have them removed from the heavy boards they are glued to, or one could display them as they are. Either way, bear in mind this unusual defect BEFORE bidding on this lot of stills. Of course, the 1932 Edmund Goulding all-star group-of-very-different-people-gather-at-the-world's-most-luxurious-hotel-and-have-romance-and-intrigue melodrama ("The greatest attraction in stage or screen history!"; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Greta Garbo, John Barrymore, Joan Crawford, Wallace Beery, Lionel Barrymore (in the memorable role of an ordinary man who learns he is dying, so he takes his life savings and spends a final holiday at the best hotel in the world!), Lewis Stone, Jean Hersholt, Ferdinand Gottschalk, Rafaela Ottiano, Frank Conroy, and Rafaela Ottiano Measurements: from 7 1/2" x 9" to 7 1/2" x 9 1/2"Condition: fair to good. Many years ago, the stills were trimmed and each glued to a heavy board (see above). No one has performed any restoration, but it could be done, or they could be displayed as they are. However, bear in mind these defects before bidding. Learn More about condition grades Titles included:
