Auction History Result GATEWAY OF THE MOON 24sh Appears in Hershenson Pressbook CollectionThe image at right is provided for reference purposes and we do not we have it available for purchase, nor do we know of anyone who does! Gateway of the Moon, the 1928 John Griffith Wray silent South America romantic melodrama ("A Tropical Tempest of Emotion on the Amazon"; "Story by Clifford Bax") starring Dolores Del Rio, Walter Pidgeon, Ted McNamara, Leslie Fenton, Anders Randolf, and Noble Johnson. Note that Walter Pidgeon was born in 1897, and started making silent movies in the mid 1920s, but he had limited success. He had a wonderful speaking voice, but that did not lead to stardom in early sound movies. Finally, in 1937, at the age of 40, MGM put him under contract, but still limited him to supporting roles. His "big break" finally came in 1941 with "How Green Was My Valley", and he became one of MGM's top stars of the early 1940s (no doubt helped by so many other male stars being away at war). He stayed with MGM for the remainder of his career. 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.
