An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" Movie Still (Learn More) Sparrows, the 1926 William Beaudine silent southern swamp child labor orphan slavery crime thriller (a wild story set in the "southern swamplands", where a crazy man, his half-witted wife, and his evil son run a "baby farm" for unwanted children, but they mistreat them brutally; the oldest of them is Mary Pickford, who tries to protect all the children, telling them that God will care for them just as he does for "sparrows", and she calls them her sparrows; she has a confrontation with the owner, fighting him with a pitchfork, and she escapes with all the children into the alligator-ridden swamp; in the exciting climactic scene, the creepy family all drown in the swamp, and Mary and all the kids are adopted by an eccentric millionaire!) starring Mary Pickford, Roy Stewart, Mary Louise Miller, Gustav von Seyffertitz, and Charlotte Mineau. Note that Mary Pickford was 34 years-old, and still playing teenage girls (just a couple years later, she would wisely give this up and switch to adult roles). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still has the original working title for this movie, "Scraps". Also note that there is a photographer's credit for "K.O. Rahmn" stamped on the back of this still. Note that on this still there is a printed paper snipe attached to the back describing the scene on the front (it tells how Mary and her staff look over the model that was built for her new production, and it mentions that Mary's dog "Zorro" is under the table in the shade). Note that this still is on a heavyweight paper, similar to that used on quality 11x14s. ALSO NOTE: In this case, the #2 in the title of the sale is not the number of the still. Because we are selling more than one still from this movie this week as separate eBay sales, we needed to differentiate the different sales, and we did so by marking them "#1, #2, #3, etc..".
