An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 9" x 12" [23 x 30 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Florence Vidor was an actress from the 1910s to the 1920s. An exquisite beauty of early silents, she married King Vidor in 1915, when he was a cameraman, and she subsequently became a major star, and he a major director; they divorced in 1924, and she married violinist Jascha Heifetz in 1928, which was when she appeared in a single talkie, "Chinatown Nights", and that experience caused her to retire, and become a wife and mother! Some of her movies include: The Marriage Circle, The Patriot, and The Jack-Knife Man. She passed away in 1977 at the age of 82. Important Added Info: Note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock and it has an embossed photographer's stamp in one of the bottom corners. Also note that this still measures 9" x 12" [23 x 30 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Note that this is one of 100 deluxe oversized stills (measuring 11" x 14" or similar) which were consigned to us, and they all originated from the legendary James Card Collection! James Card was a film preservationist who, starting in 1948, worked at the newly created George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, and he helped build their massive motion picture collection, preserving movies that had been forgotten at that time. In 1955, he discovered that Louise Brooks was living as a recluse in New York City, and he persuaded her to move to Rochester, where she wrote many letters and some books about her legendary career. Not only do these 100 oversized stills (which we are auctioning individually) have wonderful "provenance", but there is also no fear that they are not from their first release (and many of the stills have photographer stamps on the back or embossed, and some have other information on the back, and several have a stamp that identifies them as being from the "James Card Collection"!
