Important Added Info: Note that Warner Bros. held the premiere of this movie in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and they sent a vintage stagecoach from Hollywood to Santa Fe to commemorate this event. They also sent "a 17 car special trainload of film celebrities" to attend the premiere. But in this still, it shows "two Warner players", Alexis Smith and Peggy Diggins, with the Mayor of Los Angeles. Of course, Alexis Smith would soon become a top Warner Bros. star! Note that this great individual still (and a number of others, both singles and sets) come from a recently discovered collection of mostly 1930s stills (but with some from the 1920s, and some from the 1940s and 1950s) that came from the estate of a longtime journalist who wrote about these movies and visited the sets of many movies and were given these stills at that time. They are all rare original stills from the first release of the movies, and some have cool candid images. We auctioned a similar group of stills from this wonderful collection in our auctions that closed April 12, 2022, and now we are auctioning almost all of the remaining stills from this collection (in singles and sets, just as they were last time). After this set of auctions, there will be only a handful left from this collection, so this is pretty much your last opportunity to acquire these extremely rare stills, including some from movies you almost never see anything from! Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
