Auction History Result 6w0272 LADY BE GOOD 8x10.25 still 1928 magician Jack Mulhall & sexy Dorothy Mackaill, ultra rare! Date Sold 12/10/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Lady Be Good, the 1928 Richard Wallace silent romantic vaudeville magic comedy (about an engaged couple who work as magicians in vaudeville, and they have an argument and split up; they both do poorly while they are separated, and the girl gets hired as his assistant without him knowing it, and they are reunited, both personally and professionally) starring Jack Mulhall (as Mysterio the Magician), Dorothy Mackaill, John Mijian, Nita Martan, and Dot Farley. There is an oddity about this movie. Some sources say that it is an earlier version of the 1941 George Gershwin musical, "Lady Be Good", but other sources don't say that. We know the song "Oh Lady Be Good" was written by Gershwin for a 1924 musical, and it might well have originally been intended for this movie, but not used. And this movie is listed on IMDb as a silent film, but there is a "libretto" credited, which would seem to indicate it had songs, and we have seen it referred to as a "musical", so maybe it started out as a musical sound movie and ended up a silent! So we are very confused, and unfortunately, this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist, so we can't view it to find out. If anyone knows more about this (through contemporary reference books), please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a lobby card and a still from this movie, and NO other movie paper, until we received this still! Note that in our last set of auctions that include multiple stills from single titles, we had 72 sets of stills that came from a wonderful group of just-discovered stills that are from 1927 to 1929, with the majority from 1928 exactly. Now, we are auctioning the remaining stills from this wonderful group, 131, all in separate auctions. In addition to them including a LOT of previously unseen stills (and sometimes from incredibly rare titles!), most of these stills have either snipes on the bottom or back, and many have some pencil writing on the back about the movie or actors. After these stills are auctioned, there will be no more stills from this wonderful collection! Condition: very good to fine. There are just a few extremely minor defects around the edges, but they are mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light, and the still is otherwise in nice condition!
