ROSCOE FATTY ARBUCKLE ROSCOE FATTY ARBUCKLE Miscellaneous OR search current auctions Auction History Result 7a0100 ROSCOE FATTY ARBUCKLE 18x23 newspaper November 28, 1921 tells his own story of fatal party! Date Sold 8/4/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Newspaper (measures 18" x 23" [46 x 58 cm]; 24 pages) (Learn More) Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle was a wildly popular silent actor. In the late 1910s, he was probably the most famous and most successful silent comedian, and in 1918, he discovered Buster Keaton, who appeared in a number of movies with him, before going on to major stardom himself. Arbuckle's career was cut short in 1921, at the height of his fame, when he was accused of raping and causing the death of minor actress Virginia Rappe at an infamous party. Despite a significant lack of evidence, he was put on trial, and there were two trials that ended in hung juries, and then at this third trial, where Buster Keaton testified in his defense, he was not only acquitted, but the jury gave him a letter apologizing for the injustices done to him! But because of the scandal, his career was ruined. While Hollywood would eventually "forgive" him, and he started making movies again in 1932, he would only make six new films (comedy shorts for Warner Bros.) between this time and June 1933 (less than nine months later), when he passed away from a heart attack, and he was just 46 years old. Some of his movies include: Fatty and Mabel Adrift, The Garage, Back Stage, Go West, and the Bell Boy. Important Added Info: This is a 24-page newspaper section that was removed from a bound volume of issues of the Cincinnati Ohio Times Star newspaper. The cover story of this issue is about the infamous party that ended Fatty Arbuckle's career! Note that many years ago, our consignor was at a newspaper that was disposing of their bound copies of very old newspapers. He had just a short time to go through and remove some that were of interest to him, and they were mostly ones that dealt with the death of major stars or of major events. He has consigned three newspapers he removed from bound volumes (one of them has four different newspapers within that auction), and we are currently auctioning them in three different auctions. We have only photographed portions of each paper, but of course, they are fascinating reading, and they have many really cool vintage ads as well! Note that this newspaper could not possibly be rolled, and it must be sent in a large flat package that measures approximately 20" x 26", so bear this added expense in mind before bidding on it. Condition: good. The newspaper was removed from a bound volume and is darkened and more fragile than the other newspapers we are auctioning. It has six 1" tears down the left of all pages from when it was removed from the bound volume, and paper loss in the bottom center of all pages, but in the blank area only. It is currently stored in a mylar sleeve and will be sent to the winning bidder that way in a large flat package. Learn More about condition grades
