Auction History Result 5g014 CLARA BOW deluxe 10.75x14 still '20s Deltah Pearls advertisement with facsimile signature! Date Sold 1/19/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 10 3/4" x 14" [27 x 36 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Clara Bow was an actress from the 1920s to the early 1930s. She was the most famous "flapper girl" of the mid to late 1920s (she became known as "The It Girl" after the character she played based on the popular novel by Elinor Glyn). She had a major role in Wings, and was Paramount's biggest star at that time. But she had a notorious private life and seemingly "settled down" when she married cowboy star Rex Bell in 1931 (she had two children and she retired from movies), but sadly in 1949 she went into a mental institution after a failed suicide attempt (she had had psychiatric issues for quite some time) and she was released but never returned to her family, and lived alone until she passed away in 1965 at the age of 60. She continued to mature as an actress and she successfully made the transition from silent to sound movies, and she had the gift of making the audience like her, even though she played a character with no morals. Most fans say that had she not had her serious personal problems, she would have likely been a major rival to Jean Harlow for roles as likeable "bad girls" throughout the 1930s! Some of her movies include: It, Wings, Dancing Mothers, Call Her Savage, Hula, Hoopla, as well as 50 more almost forgotten silents! Important Added Info: Note that this is a still we were consigned that came from the "Deltah Pearls" company, which was a jewelry store in Los Angeles in the late 1920s. It appears that they hired a bunch of famous actresses to pose with a Deltah Pearls necklace, and then they created these deluxe stills which have a gold Deltah Pearls shield attached to the bottom right of the image, plus a facsimile autograph of that star (we don't know how these deluxe stills were distributed). If anyone knows more about them, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this still measures 10 3/4" x 14" [27 x 36 cm]. Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Condition: good. There is paper loss in the bottom left corner and a pinhole in the bottom right corner. There are a few creases and scuffs scattered in the image. Learn More about condition grades
