Auction History Result 5m0510 LOT OF 9 ADOLPHE MENJOU 8X10 STILLS 1920s great portraits & movie scenes! Date Sold 11/26/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 9 Adolphe Menjou 8x10 stills. Note that these stills come to us from a major collector of Paramount silent stills! We have previously auctioned a number of his stills individually, and now we are doing the remainder of them in bulk lots, by star (each in a separate bulk lot). They are all guaranteed original release silent stills, and they are surely incredibly rare! We have photographed the fronts and backs of each, both so you can see that, and also because on the stills where the title is not printed on the front, it is almost always handwritten on the back in pencil. This is an incredibly rare opportunity to obtain these great silent stills, and almost all of the remaining stills from this collection are in this set of bulk lot auctions, so this is likely your last chance to acquire these. Of course, Adolphe Menjou was an actor from the 1910s to the 1960s. He was born in 1890 in Pittsburgh (even though he seemed European!) to a French father and an Irish mother, and his father disapproved of show business, but while at college, Adolphe changed his major to liberal arts and started appearing in plays. He moved to New York when he was 25, but couldn't make it on Broadway, and appeared in minor movies in the middle 1910s. He served in World War I and then afterwards went behind the camera working as a production manager. In 1921, he moved to Hollywood, and got leading roles in movies and became a major star throughout the 1920s and 1930s, and then he seamlessly switched to character roles. He had a wonderful part in Paths of Glory as the slimy General Broulard near the end of his career. Some of his other movies include: Little Miss Marker, Golden Boy, The Marriage Circle, and Stage Door. He passed away in 1963 at the age of 73. Note that the items in this lot are mostly from the 1920s. We do not provide a list of these items, but there are images of the front and back of all of them. Condition: good to very good.
