Date Sold 12/21/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 5 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Key Book Stills (Learn More) The Dressmaker From Paris, the 1925 Paul Bern France silent romantic melodrama (based on the Howard Hawks story) starring Leatrice Joy, Ernest Torrence, Allan Forrest, Mildred Harris, Lawrence Gray, and "The Fourteen International Beauty Models". Note that the models were a group of beautiful young women, who appeared as dress models within the movie, and they included Adalyn Mayer (who was dubbed "The Cinderella Girl of 1925"), Sally Rand (in her third movie role, she later became very famous for her risque fan dance and bubble dance in the 1930s), Olive Borden, Majel Coleman, Jocelyn Lee, Thais Valdemar, Clara Morris, Cecille Evans, Yela D'Avril, Etta Lee, Sally Long, Eugenia Gilbert, Christina Montt, and Dorothy Seastrom. Also, note that this movie was directed by Paul Bern, who, in one of Hollywood's most bizarre episodes ever (which is saying a lot!), married the much young Jean Harlow in 1932 and then shot himself after their honeymoon, apologizing for "a frightful wrong" in a suicide note! It has been rumored that he was actually murdered, and the suicide was a coverup by MGM "fixers"! 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 not only is this movie important because it was directed by Paul Bern (later Jean Harlow's husband who committed suicide), but also because it has a very early appearance by Sally Rand! ALL of these five key book stills have great images of Sally Rand, even though she had a minor role in the movie as one of "Fourteen International Beauty Models"! The stills are glued to a linen-like backing (we think it is highly likely that these are key book stills, and that someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the top or left of the still, no doubt so it could be put in a frame). Condition: very good. The still pictured at lower right has slightly unevenly darkened in Rand's image (see our image). They are otherwise in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
