Date Sold 3/27/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 3 Original Vintage Theatrical (measure from 7 3/4" x 9 1/2" [20 x 24 cm] to 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]) Movie Stills (Learn More) Campus Confessions (released in England as "Fast Play"), the 1938 George Archainbaud college university basketball sports romantic comedy ("The brightest, fastest show of the season...!"; "Original Story and Screen Play by Lloyd Carrigan and Erwin Gelsey"; a wacky story of a college that has one great basketball player, but still loses every game because the rest of the team is dreadful, but then a rich student finds he can become popular if he can learn to play basketball, so he hires the great player to come to his father's mansion with the team, and the great player coaches them all!; they become good enough to win the championship, but then the great player is suspended for failing math, but then, in the championship game, in the third quarter, the great player is given an oral math exam, which he passes, and he goes into the game and scores 24 points in the fourth quarter and they win!) starring Betty Grable, Eleanore Whitney, William Henry, Fritz Feld, John Arledge, Thurston Hall, Richard Denning, and Hank Luisetti (real life college basketball player, playing himself and billed as "All-American Basketball Star"!). Obviously Paramount wanted to make the good use of real life basketball star Hank Luisetti, and they crafted the plot around him. They also top-billed pretty young starlettes Betty Grable and Eleanore Whitney, but neither one had a lot to do in the movie. The romantic lead was William Henry, and this could have been his "big break", but that didn't work out, although he continued on in small roles in many movies for decades! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that these stills of Betty Grable have a wonderful provenance! They were consigned to us by the granddaughter of the lady who ran the Betty Grable fan club in the 1950s, and she developed a close friendship with Ms. Grable, and she was given a large number of first release stills (some personally autographed), and we are auctioning several of this consignor's sets of Betty Grable stills in this set of auctions. None of these are signed, because we will auction the signed ones in our auction of all autographed items. Condition: good to very good. One has been trimmed. The trimming can either be seen in our super-sized image, or if not, then please see our measurement range above to get a sense of the amount of trimming (in some cases the trimming is very minimal and the stills measure very close to 8" x 10", and in those cases there will not be a range of measurements).
