Important Added Info: Note that these five stills were owned by director H. Bruce Humberstone (nicknamed "Lucky"). We previously auctioned other stills that were from his estate, and our consignor found these additional five stills from the same estate purchase (and he has no more). Humberstone was born in 1901 and he started as a juvenile actor, and in his teens, he became a script clerk, and then worked his way up to being an assistant director to many top directors, including King Vidor. In 1932, he directed his first movie, and he worked steadily through the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, directing one last movie in 1961. He directed both "A" and "B" movies, including some Tarzan, Charlie Chan, Cisco Kid, and more, and some of his movies have cult status, including "I Wake Up Screaming"! Also, a knowledgeable collector tells us that the Goldwyn Girls group photo may feature a very young Betty Grable (on the horse at left), Ann Sothern, Paulette Goddard and Dorothy Coonan Wellman. Finally. note that we have pictured the backs of these stills (see our images). Condition: very good to fine. The stills are in really nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
