An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 8" x 11" [20 x 28 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Search for Beauty, the 1934 Erle C. Kenton romantic crime swindler melodrama (a wacky story of a couple who are recruited by crooks to publish a health magazine and also start a health farm, and the crooks try to advertise both with racy pictures of men and women, but the couple make a legitimate resort out of it, and ultimately, the crooks go to jail, and the couple finds love and success) starring Buster Crabbe (billed as "Larry 'Buster' Crabbe"), Ida Lupino, Robert Armstrong, James Gleason, Roscoe Karns, Toby Wing, Gertrude Michael, Monya Andre, and William Bailey, with the "30 International Beauty Contest Winners" (one is Ann Sheridan, uncredited in her 2nd role). Note that one of the key plot points involves the couple running the health farm inviting 30 beauty contest winners to stay there (to get other people to want to go), and among those 30 actors was Ann Sheridan (in her first movie appearance). Apparently, the producers also wanted Sally Rand, the fan dancer, to be one of the contest winners, but she did not make the final cut of the movie. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still is a key book still, mounted to a linen backing. Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top, with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic.
