Auction History Result 9a935 UNITED ARTISTS STUDIO 8.25x10 still '32 wonderful image of employees clowning on building! Date Sold 7/1/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Publicity Still (Learn More) United Artists Studio, the Hollywood studio which was founded in 1919 by Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin (Fairbank's best friend), and D.W. Griffith. These great actors and the director were tired of not being able to decide for themselves what they wanted to do, and so they formed United Artists together (but Chaplin was under contract to First National, so he was not free to make a movie for them for six years). They had many successes in the 1920s and 1930s, but they lacked the distribution of the major studios, so they only distributed their movies for the first run. The studio continued until 1981, when the disastrous "Heaven's Gate" bankrupted the studio, and caused them to merge with MGM. Important Added Info: Note that we know little about this still, other than what is written on the bottom border, which tells us that it was taken on October 9, 1932, at United Artists Studios. It seems likely that it is the men who made the sets for the movies, and that they are gathered for a portrait (with ten of them clowning around on the roof of the building they just built!). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this publicity still measures 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm]. Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
