An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Richard Arlen was born Sylvanus Richard Van Mattimore in 1899 and was a pilot in the Royal Canadian Flying Corps in World War I, but he never saw action. After the war, it took him several years to find himself, and he was discovered by Hollywood in the early 1920s, but it still took him several years of very minor roles (many uncredited) before he got his big break as one of the leads in "Wings" in 1927. He became a lead star, and had no trouble with the transition to sound, but his career went downhill in the late 1930s. He became deaf at the end of the 1940s, but an operation restored his hearing, and he continued in movies into the 1960s. He passed away in 1976 at the age of 76. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by ! Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. About the Collection this Item Comes From Note that this item (and 1 other we are auctioning this week) was consigned to us by a man who has been a major movie memorabilia dealer from the 1980s on. During that time, he would regularly purchase collections of movie memorabilia from both dealers and collectors, and in some of those collections he purchased autographed items, and over the years he did not re-sell any of the autographed items. Now he has gathered up together some of his autographed items and consigned them to us. So all of these 2 autographed items we are auctioning were purchased by this dealer from longtime dealers and collectors, and we feel certain that the autograph on this item is authentic! Note that each of the 2 items from this consignor all have this paragraph on them. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
