Date Sold 3/14/2023Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Florenz Ziegfeld's Glorifying the American Girl, the 1929 John W. Harkrider Ziegfeld Follies romantic musical ("Produced under personal supervision of Florenz Ziegfeld"; there is a nominal plot about a small town girl coming to the big city wanting to be a star and fending off wolves, but the movie is really just a showcase for Ziegfeld Follies musical and comedy acts, plus beautiful scantily clad girls, just as they were presented on stage; in between acts, the camera often shifts to the audience, showing major celebrities of the day like Texas Guinan, New York Mayor Jimmy Walker, and Adolph Zukor) starring "in revue" Mary Eaton, Eddie Cantor, Helen Morgan, Rudy Vallee, Dan Healy, Johnny Weissmuller (in his first movie, uncredited in a bit part as a barely-dressed Adonis), and Evelyn Groves (as Aphrodite). Note that a couple of Irving Berlin songs are performed in the movie, and Berlin appears in one of the cameo roles! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: What a piece of film history (and Tarzan history) this is! Johnny Weissmuller had won Olympic swimming medals in 1928, and the following year, he appeared uncredited in this short, and two years later, he appeared in two more shorts in swimming roles, but it likely looked like his film career was going nowhere. But the year after that, he made Tarzan the Ape Man, and the rest, as they say, is history! Movie paper of any kind from this movie is extremely rare, and we doubt that Weissmuller was shown or billed on any of it, and this wonderful still may be one of the only surviving stills that show Weissmuller (we have never auctioned another).
