Auction History Result 5j434 NOW WE'RE IN THE AIR 8x10 still '27 Beery & Hatton in big trouble in lieutenant's office! Date Sold 6/4/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" (8x10) Movie Still (Learn More) Now We're in the Air, the 1927 Frank R. Strayer silent airplane aviation screwball comedy (about two bumbling cousins who accidentally get into the U.S. Air Corps and end up in a runaway balloon over enemy lines, and are somehow made heroes by the enemy, and sent back over the lines to spy on their own soldiers!) starring Wallace Beery, Raymond Hatton, Louise Brooks (playing twins), Russell Simpson, and Emile Chautard. Also note that in 1926, Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton appeared in "Behind the Front", and the public loved the comic antics of this very large man with this very small man, and they went on to make a series of similar movies, including this one. They were so popular that there was also an imitation series of similar movies starring Karl Dane and George K. Arthur! Note that cult actress Louise Brooks had a small part in this movie, but she made a big impression on moviegoers! Also note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving complete copies are thought to exist (23 minutes survives in a Czechoslovakian archive). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: The still was printed slightly off center, which causes the image to be at a slight angle and the very bottom right of the credits to be slightly cut off. This was a somewhat common printing defect in vintage stills, and most collectors do not consider it a major defect if it is only slightly off center as it is in this case. Note that a paper snipe was glued to the back of the still, and then folded over to the front. 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 (and of course, the snipe would be folded backwards, so it would not show). 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! Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
