Note that Warner Baxter was born in 1889, and in the early 1920s he rose to prominence in silent movies, becoming a major star of the 1920s, while he was in his 30s. He won the Oscar for Best Actor as The Cisco Kid in "In Old Arizona" in 1929, and he remained a top star throughout the 1930s! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that there is a printed snipe on the back of the still, describing the scene on the front (it tells how there is an annual "Ramona Pageant" held in Henet, California where the book was based, and that Dolores Del Rio took part in the pageant, and that this image shows people at the pageant with Miss Del Rio). NOTE: In this case, the #2 in the title of the sale is not the number of the still. Because we are selling more than one still from this movie this week as separate eBay sales, we needed to differentiate the different sales, and we did so by marking them "#1, #2, #3, etc..".
