An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 8" x 11" [20 x 28 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) The Show, the 1927 Tod Browning silent Budapest Hungary romantic love triangle carnival crime melodrama (based on the novel 'The Day of Souls' by Charles Tenney Jackson; a really wacky story of an actor who performs a reenactment of John the Baptist and Salome in a show called "The Palace of Illusions", and it ends with a magic trick in which he appears to be actually beheaded; he loves Salome, but a peasant girl falls for him, and the girl's father is murdered by a criminal called "The Greek", and that is only the beginning of a very complicated and outrageous story) starring John Gilbert, Renee Adoree, Lionel Barrymore, Edward Connelly, Gertrude Short, and Dorothy Sebastian NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still is unlike almost all key book stills we have ever seen (we had a handful like this over the years, including two from 1924's "Flesh and the Devil")! Not only does it have an image of nine great still images joined together, but it also has full credits and a complete plot summary printed on the back! It is glued to a linen-like backing and it has an extra 1" on the left with two punch holes. Apparently this was something that was done beginning in 1924, and we had thought that it was a very brief experiment, but now we have seen another one from 1937, so we know it continued for at least thirteen years, but they are really incredibly rare and really cool! Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
