Auction History Result 4f1539 SHANGHAI LADY deluxe 7.5x9.5 still 1929 Universal exotic blonde beauty Mary Nolan by Freulich Date Sold 5/9/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" [19 x 24 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Shanghai Lady, the 1929 John S. Robertson China romantic melodrama ("100% talking"; "More thrilling than the stage play!"; about an ex-prostitute and drug addict who meets an ex-convict in Shanghai, and both want to change their lives, and each believes the other is a respectable person who would be horrified to learn the truth about the other!) starring Mary Nolan, James Murray, Lydia Yeamans Titus, Wheeler Oakman, and Anders Randolf. Note that star Mary Nolan was a former Ziegfeld girl who was then known as "Bubbles Wilson", but she had a very troubled life, filled with scandal, and she retired from movies in 1932, and was later a drug addict, and died in 1948 at the age of 43, completely forgotten. A similar issue existed with actor James Murray. He won praise from critics for his starring role in King Vidor's The Crowd, which was his first major role. Unfortunately, the pressures of Hollywood got to him and a couple of years after this movie, he became an alcoholic who could not hold down a job. He became homeless, and when he coincidentally ran into King Vidor while begging for change, he refused Vidor's offer of an acting job. His body was discovered in the Hudson river in 1936. He was 35. 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.
