Date Sold 11/26/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 4 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Stills (Learn More) Never the Twain Shall Meet, the 1925 Maurice Tourneur silent South Seas Tahiti romantic love triangle melodrama ("Peter B. Kyne's famous story of California and the South Seas"; about the daughter of a sea captain and the queen of a South Seas island, and she goes to San Francisco with her father who dies of leprosy, and her father's friend falls in love with her and he splits from his fiancee and marries the Polynesian girl and goes to the island with her, but he falls into despair, and his fiancee comes to visit, and he returns to San Francisco with her) starring Anita Stewart, Bert Lytell, Huntley Gordon, Justine Johnstone, and George Siegmann. Note that this movie was remade in 1931 with Leslie Howard in the lead role, and in both 1925 and 1931, it was quite scandalous for an American to have a romance with a Polynesian woman, and that attitude continued through to the days of "South Pacific" (and in both stories, the "interracial" romance ends tragically!). Also note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this group of stills come from a wonderful group of just-discovered stills that are from 1927 to 1929, with the majority from 1928 exactly. In addition to including a LOT of previously unseen stills (and some times from incredibly rare titles!), most of the stills have either snipes on the bottom or back, and many have some pencil writing on the back about the movie or actors. There are 72 groups of stills in this set of auctions, each in its own auction. The remaining single stills from this collection will be auctioned starting November 26th, after these stills end. After that, there will be no more stills from this wonderful collection! Also, note that we normally only photograph the front of groups of stills, but because so many of these had snipes or information on the back, we also pictured the backs of each! Condition: very good. The stills have very slightly lightened but are otherwise in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
