An Original Vintage Theatrical 7 3/4" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More)

Vamping Venus, the 1928 Edward F. Cline silent Ancient Greece sword-and-sandal romantic fantasy slapstick comedy ("A gift from the Gods of Beauty and Mirth"; about an Irish-American politician who is hit on the head, and finds himself in Ancient Greece, where he is the King of Ireland, and his wife is Circe, the beautiful temptress from The Odyssey!) starring Charles Murray, Thelma Todd (in the title role as Venus), Louise Fazenda (as Circe), Russ Powell (as Bacchus), Joe Bonomo (as Hercules; famous strong man who vied with Charles Atlas for the "Most Perfect Man", he appeared in 32 movies, but like Atlas, his primary business was selling books and pamphlets telling how to acquire a body like his!), Guinn 'Big Boy' Williams (as Mars), Spec O'Donnell (as Mercury), and Fred O. Beck (as Vulcan). 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: What a wonderful still! In this zany fantasy comedy, Charles Murray finds himself in Ancient Greece, and Thelma Todd appears as the Venus de Milo, which was done with a really cool special effect, shown in this scene! Note that this still measures 7 3/4" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm].

Condition: good to very good. There is tiny paper loss in the top left blank corner. There are some faint scuffs scattered in the black background areas, but they are mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light. Otherwise, the still is in pretty nice condition!
