Date Sold 3/14/2023Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Deluxe 10 1/2" x 13 1/2" [27 x 34 cm] Stage Play Still (Learn More) Petrified Forest, the 1935 Broadway stage play production (based on the work by Robert E. Sherwood) starring Leslie Howard, John Alexander, Humphrey Bogart, Milo Boulton, Charles Dow Clark, and Peggy Conklin. Note that Humphrey Bogart had begun acting on the stage in the 1920s, but to no real success. In 1930 he got a Hollywood contract at Fox Pictures, but he had little success there, and they released him after two years. He returned to the stage, and in 1936 finally was noticed in the small but vital role in the stage production of this classic play, where he appeared with Leslie Howard. Howard was signed for the movie version of the play, and he insisted, over studio objections, that Bogart be cast as well (he sent a telegram to Warners that read "No Bogart, no Howard"). Bogart never forgot this great kindness, and he much later named his daughter "Leslie". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this wonderful stage play still shows Peggy Conklin (who played the part on stage that Bette Davis played on screen) consoling very sad Leslie Howard. It is from the photographer Vandamm, who hand signed the still (he actually personally autographed it)! Note that this still measures 10 1/2" x 13 1/2" [27 x 34 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Note that we are currently auctioning over 100 ultra rare 11x14 stills (some measure slightly smaller) that are mostly from the 1930s, all in separate auctions! The highlight of these is the 58 of them that were consigned to us by a collector who acquired them many years ago, and they feature wonderful images of many of the greatest 1930s Hollywood stars, including James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Gary Cooper, Edward G. Robinson, and many others! These are many times more rare than 8x10 stills, and are very rarely offered for sale or at auction, and many of these may be "one of a kind"! This is a very rare opportunity to acquire one or many of these extreme rarities! Condition: good to very good. There are creases and surface paper loss in the top corners and slight wear on the rest of the borders. Learn More about condition grades
