An Original Vintage Theatrical 10 1/4" x 13" [26 x 33 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Gladys Swarthout was a Metropolitan Opera singer in the 1930s. After fellow opera singer Grace Moore had success making movies at Columbia, Paramount signed Swarthout to make five movies for them! Some of her movies include: Champagne Waltz, Give Us This Night, Rose of the Rancho, and Ambush. After retiring from films, she appeared in several TV shows in the 1950s. Swarthout passed away in 1969 at the age of 71. Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 10 1/4" x 13" [26 x 33 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Note that this is one of 80 deluxe oversized stills (measuring 11" x 14" or similar) which were consigned to us, and they all originated from the legendary James Card Collection! We auctioned 100 other stills from this collection in our September Major Auction, and those mostly auctioned for between $30 and $250 each, with a few selling for more, with the highest selling for $535! Now we have 80 more from that collection in this set of auctions. James Card was a film preservationist who, starting in 1948, worked at the newly created George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, and he helped build their massive motion picture collection, preserving movies that had been forgotten at that time. In 1955, he discovered that Louise Brooks was living as a recluse in New York City, and he persuaded her to move to Rochester, where she wrote many letters and some books about her legendary career. Not only do these 100 oversized stills (which we are auctioning individually) have wonderful "provenance", but there is also no fear that they are not from their first release (and many of the stills have photographer stamps on the back or embossed, and some have other information on the back, and several have a stamp that identifies them as being from the "James Card Collection"!
