Date Sold 2/28/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 5 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 7 3/4" x 11 1/4" [20 x 29 cm] Key Book Stills (Learn More) Chinatown Nights, the 1929 William A. Wellman Asia Tong War romantic crime melodrama ("From Samuel Ornitz' story Tong War"; "A Talking Romance"; about a society woman who falls in love with the white leader of an Asian gang, and she ruins her life, but he truly loves her, and he nobly sacrifices himself so she can regain her former status) starring Wallace Beery, Florence Vidor, Warner Oland (playing an evil Oriental; this is ironic since he later became famous as "Charlie Chan" in the 20th Century Fox series!), Jack McHugh and Jack Oakie. Note that it was after this movie that Florence Vidor retired, and the movie was shot as a silent, and she quit before it could have sound added, and she refused to return to do the dubbing, and it was dubbed by a different actress instead (a very similar thing happened to Louise Brooks with "The Canary Murder Case", which was made the same year by Paramount)!

Important Added Info: Note that these stills have been mounted to a linen type material and have an extra 1" at the top or left of the still, along with punch holes in that extra area (typical of many key book stills). Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
