Auction History Result 9t0826 ARIZONA BOUND 8x10 key book still 1927 wonderful waist-high portrait of young Gary Cooper! Date Sold 9/28/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Arizona Bound, the 1927 John Waters silent cowboy western ("Story by Richard Allen Gates"; young Gary Cooper plays a cowboy who cares about his horse and a pretty girl, in that order, but she doesn't think much of him, because he has no ambition, but after he stops gold robbers and saves her from being kidnapped, he wins both a reward and her love) starring Gary Cooper, Betty Jewel, El Brendel, Jack Dougherty, Christian J. Frank, and Charles Crockett. Note that Cooper had had a succession of bit parts before having a small but good supporting role in "The Winning of Barbara Worth" (starring Ronald Colman and Vilma Banky) the year before this movie, and someone at Paramount saw that movie and wisely saw the great potential in him, and signed him to star in this movie, and he was super well received! That same year, he also had a tiny role in "It", and an important small role in "Wings", and he quickly became a major star, but this was his very first starring role. 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 is a key book still, mounted to a linen backing. 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 top of the still. Condition: very good. The top 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above). Otherwise, the still is in nice condition!
