Auction History Result t027 YOU'LL FIND OUT candid vintage 7.5x9.25 movie still '40 Halloween! Date Sold 7/5/2007Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 7 1/2" x 9 1/4" Movie Still (Learn More) You'll Find Out, the 1940 David Butler musical horror crime mystery comedy ("The Big Melody, Mirth and Mystery Show!"; "A mystery with music!") starring Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi ("The Three Horror Men"), Helen Parrish, Dennis O'Keefe, Alma Kruger, Kay Kyser, Ginny Simms (billed as "Kay Kyser's band featuring Ginny Simms"), Harry Babbitt, Ish Kabibble, Sully Mason, and "'The College of Musical Knowledge"' NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that the still shows a great candid image of three actresses from the movie demonstrating "bobbing" for apples, a classic Halloween party game! What is odd is that the three actresses in the photo are all identified as "movie beauties" from the movie, but actually, all three had tiny uncredited parts! Also note that a paper snipe was glued to the back of the still, and then folded over to the front. Normally, this was done rather than gluing the snipe to the back, so that the snipe could be unfolded and the still could be displayed with the snipe unfolded, which would let moviegoers read the information on the snipe in the lobby. However, this snipe was glued on so that the written portion is only readable when the snipe is folded over the bottom of the still, which slightly defeats this purpose (although one can see the top of the still and the snipe at the same time, which could not be done if the snipe was glued on the back). This was done with many stills of the 1930s, but often, the snipes are either partially or completely lost, because it is easier for them to be torn off. UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, THE SNIPE DOES NOT HAVE ANY EFFECT ON THE FRONT OF THE STILL! The still measures 7 1/2" x 9 1/4", but it has not been trimmed. Note that there is a stamp on the back of the still (from the poster studio that distributed it). Condition: fine. The still is in excellent condition! Learn More about condition grades
