NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we know that Ronald Colman, Neil Hamilton, and Ralph Forbes are three of the six men pictured. If anyone knows who the other people with them are, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this still (and a number of others we are currently auctioning) has a most unusual provenance. Our consignor's father worked at Paramount Studios between 1925 and 1927, and he was given a number of deluxe stills (and a few regular ones) from then-current films, and he kept them all the years since, and now they have been consigned to us! We put three great portraits from this collection (portraits of Louise Brooks, W.C. Fields, and Clara Bow) in our September Major Auction, and now we have many of the other individual stills in this auction of single stills. This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire these extremely rare stills (and other than some of them measuring under 8x10, which likely occurred prior to them being distributed, they are in quite nice condition, especially considering their age). Also note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
