Auction History Result 4f1475 NEXT CORNER 8.25x9 still 1924 super close up of Lon Chaney Sr. & scared Dorothy Mackaill! Date Sold 5/9/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8 1/4" x 9" [21 x 23 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) The Next Corner, the 1924 Sam Wood silent Spain romantic love triangle melodrama ("From the novel and play by Kate Jordan"; about a newlywed who is neglected by her husband and she falls for another man, but she regrets her indiscretion and she writes a letter to her husband confessing all, but the other man stops her from mailing it, and a peasant whose daughter was also seduced by the man bursts in and shoots him, and she returns to her husband who forgives her) starring Conway Tearle, Lon Chaney Sr., Dorothy Mackaill, Ricardo Cortez, Louise Dresser, and Bernard Siegel (as "The Stranger"). Note that Lon Chaney Sr. is second billed but apparently has little screen time in the role as Cortez's aide. Also note that Bernard Siegel was an Austrian actor who started in movies in the U.S. in 1913. He never achieved stardom, but he had a few more significant roles, including in this movie, where Lon Chaney Sr. was the second lead. He also was with Chaney in "Laugh, Clown, Laugh" and "Phantom of the Opera", and one wonders if there was a connection between the two actors. Finally, note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist, NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been trimmed and it now measures 8 1/4" x 9" [21 x 23 cm]. Note that there are white areas in the corners that look like they COULD be a defect of some sort, but they are NOT. They exist on stills from silent films that have this sort of black border around the edges. It appears that stills of this sort were made by actually blowing up a frame of film, and perhaps those white areas are some sort of sprocket holes. In any event, they are contained within the printing and are not any sort of defect! Condition: fair to good. Someone cut the still down the center and then overlapped some of the background area between the two stars and glued it back together. Likely this was done so that it could be used in a book, newspaper, or magazine article, and have a "tighter" image of the two stars. It also has some pinholes and paper loss around the edges. One could "unglue" the two pieces and properly re-attach them, or simply leave it as it is. Learn More about condition grades
