Auction History Result 1a511 LAWRENCE TIBBETT signed deluxe 7.75x9.75 still '30 profile of the opera singer by R.H. Louise! Date Sold 8/14/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Deluxe 7 3/4" x 9 3/4" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Lawrence Tibbett was a singer during the 1930s (but best remembered from the Metropolitan Opera), who appeared in several movies, including The Rogue Song (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film). He was the first to play the leading role in many famous operas, including the role of Brutus Jones, in The Emperor Jones (which he played in blackface)! Darryl F. Zanuck signed him to a multi-picture contract, sure he would be a major star, but alas, he was not, and he only appeared in a few movies. Later, he had throat problems, which led to a drinking problem (or perhaps vice versa), and his later years were unhappy. He passed away in 1960 at the age of 63. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Lawrence Tibbett! Also note that this still measures 7 3/4" x 9 3/4" [20 x 25 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Finally, note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock, and it has an embossed photographer's signature in the bottom right. Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who was a major movie memorabilia dealer from the 1980s on. During that time, he would regularly purchase collections of movie memorabilia from both dealers and collectors, and in some of those collections he purchased autographed items, and over the years he did not re-sell any of the autographed items. Now he has gathered up together all of his autographed items and consigned them to us. So all of the items from this consignor we are auctioning were purchased by this dealer from longtime dealers and collectors, and we feel it is quite likely that the autograph on this item is authentic! Condition: very good. There is a pinhole in each top blank corner and one in the center of the bottom border, with a few faint smudges around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
