An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Key Book Still (Learn More) Earl Carroll's Murder at the Vanities, the 1934 Mitchell Leisen musical murder mystery thriller ("Celebrated judge of feminine beauty. He chose from the country's entire beauty crop for the gorgeous girls now featured in Paramount's latest screen offering 'Murder at the Vanities'"; "A Paramount picture with the most beautiful girls in the world"; "Based on the Broadway stage hit by Earl Carroll and Rufus King") starring Carl Brisson (a Danish actor who appeared in a dozen Hollywood, English, and Danish movies, including Hitchcock's "The Ring"), Victor McLaglen, Jack Oakie, Kitty Carlisle, Toby Wing, Barbara Fritchie, and Duke Ellington and His Famous Orchestra. Note that Ann Sheridan made her fourth film appearance in this movie (in this one and the three earlier ones, she played uncredited roles as a beautiful girl, and she was billed under her real name of "Clara Lou Sheridan")! Also note that this movie was set at the real-life Earl Carroll's Vanities, a famous music and dance revue of the time, and a fictional murder takes place at the show. The real-life Earl Carroll chose the girls who appeared in the movie, but did not appear in it himself. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still is a key book still, printed on a deluxe heavyweight paper stock. Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top, with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic. Someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the left of the still. Condition: very good. The left 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above). Otherwise, the still is in nice condition!
