Date Sold 11/21/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 7 1/2" x 9 3/4" [19 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) The Phantom of the Opera, the classic 1925 Rupert Julian Universal silent Paris France opera house murder mystery horror thriller ("Carl Laemmle presents Gaston Leroux's magnificent story of Parisian gaiety and intrigue"; "Weird! Wild! Wonderful!"; from the novel by Gaston Leroux, which was published in a serialized format in 1909 and 1910) starring Lon Chaney Sr. (in the title role as Erik, The Phantom), Norman Kerry (as Vicomte Raoul de Chagny), Mary Philbin (as Christine Daae), Arthur Edmund Carewe (as Ledoux), Gibson Gowland (as Simon Buquet), Carla Laemmle (uncredited as one of the ballerinas), Alexander Bevani, and "5000 others". Note that this movie was remade in 1943 with Claude Rains as the Phantom and Susannah Foster as Christine. In 1986, Andrew Lloyd Webber made a musical stage play version, which is perhaps the most successful stage play of all time, and is still running on Broadway! In 2004, Webber's musical was made into a movie, with Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum. Also note that as they did with many of their major productions at this time, Universal created two completely different sets of lobby cards, with different designs and two title cards, so there are sixteen first release cards, two sets of eight. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this great still shows Lon Chaney unmasked pulling Mary Philbin close up. Universal did very little advertising showing Chaney unmasked, because they wanted to keep it a surprise, which makes this still all the more wonderful! Also note that this still has been trimmed and it now measures 7 1/2" x 9 3/4" [19 x 25 cm]. Condition: good. The still was trimmed, and it slightly goes into the right background area, and there is paper loss in the top left corner, affecting that background area. There is an area of unevenness to the emulsion in the upper left that goes over Chaney's forehead and eyebrow, and it is much more noticeable when the still is tilted to the light. Obviously, one would prefer to find this still in better condition, but we don't know that another one exists in any condition! Learn More about condition grades
