Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" Movie Still (Learn More) The Blackbird (also known as "The Black Bird"), the 1926 Tod Browning silent romantic love triangle crime thriller ("Story by Tod Browning"; a really wild story of a master thief in London who steals at night, and by day poses as his saintly crippled twin brother known as The Bishop who works at a rescue mission, and the thief and his arch rival West End Bertie are both in love with the same girl so the Black Bird frames Bertie for shooting a cop, but the police discover the truth of that lie, and to escape, the Black Bird pretends to fight with his crippled brother behind a closed door and when the door suddenly opens it strikes Chaney who is now disguised as the Bishop, and he falls and breaks his back for real, dying soon after) starring Lon Chaney Sr. (in the title role as "The Black Bird"), Owen Moore, Renee Adoree, Doris Lloyd, and Andy MacLennan. Note that the IMDb lists the title of this movie as "The Blackbird", but the posters have the title as "The Black Bird". However, the original campaign book trade ad shows it as "The Blackbird", so we imagine the title was changed just prior to release, and it is difficult to say that one is more accurate than the other.

Important Added Info: NOTE: In this case, the #1 in the title of this sale is not the number of the still (whenever we know the number of a still we list it for those of you who know which 8x10s you are looking for). In this case, the stills from this particular set were un-numbered, but because we are selling more than one still from this set this week as separate eBay sales, we needed to differentiate between the sales, and we did so by marking them "#1, #2, etc. Condition: good to very good. There are many defects in the gloss such as scuffs, unevenness, and discoloration but most are only noticeable when the still is held at an angle to the light. There are a few tack holes in each corner and a few tiny tears around the Learn More about condition grades
