Auction History Result 2b1746 FLORODORA GIRL 8x10.25 still 1930 Florodora Sextette in famous Tell Me Pretty Maiden number! Date Sold 5/10/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) The Florodora Girl, the 1930 Harry Beaumont romantic mistaken identity gold digger comedy ("A Story of the Gay Nineties..."; it is set in the 1890s, and Marion Davies is a showgirl who doesn't try to milk rich guys out of their money, and her showgirl friends try to get her to play that game, but she ends up a guy whose family was once rich, and they are now broke, and he is trying to milk her out of her money!) starring Marion Davies, Lawrence Gray, Walter Catlett, Louis John Bartels, and Ilka Chase. It is an unfortunate legacy of Citizen Kane that people assume that the character of the second Mrs. Kane was based on Marion Davies (which it was), but they also assume that Miss Davies was a no talent actress in the way the second Mrs. Kane was a no talent singer. This was definitely NOT true, and if you have never seen any Marion Davies movies, you should, because you will see that she was definitely talented! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this great individual still (and a number of others, both singles and sets) come from a recently discovered collection of mostly 1930s stills (but with some from the 1920s, and some from the 1940s and 1950s) that came from the estate of a longtime journalist who wrote about these movies and visited the sets of many movies and were given these stills at that time. They are all rare original stills from the first release of the movies, and some have cool candid images. We auctioned a similar group of stills from this wonderful collection in our auctions that closed April 12, 2022, and now we are auctioning almost all of the remaining stills from this collection (in singles and sets, just as they were last time). After this set of auctions, there will be only a handful left from this collection, so this is pretty much your last opportunity to acquire these extremely rare stills, including some from movies you almost never see anything from! Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
