An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Miriam Jordan was an English actress who had only a short career in motion pictures. She won a beauty contest while working as a typist in London and this facilitated her introduction to the stage. Seeking fame and fortune in America, she was 'decoratively cast' in 'Three Cheers' with Will Rogers in 1928, her one scene consisting of walking down stairs, while modelling a fabulous gown. Her brief career continued into the 1940s. Some of her movies include: Sherlock Holmes, I Loved You Wednesday, Let's Fall in Love, and Two Heads on a Pillow. She passed away in 1987 at the age of 83. Important Added Info: Note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Note that this is one of 80 deluxe oversized stills (measuring 11" x 14" or similar) which were consigned to us, and they all originated from the legendary James Card Collection! We auctioned 100 other stills from this collection in our September Major Auction, and those mostly auctioned for between $30 and $250 each, with a few selling for more, with the highest selling for $535! Now we have 80 more from that collection in this set of auctions. James Card was a film preservationist who, starting in 1948, worked at the newly created George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, and he helped build their massive motion picture collection, preserving movies that had been forgotten at that time. In 1955, he discovered that Louise Brooks was living as a recluse in New York City, and he persuaded her to move to Rochester, where she wrote many letters and some books about her legendary career. Not only do these 100 oversized stills (which we are auctioning individually) have wonderful "provenance", but there is also no fear that they are not from their first release (and many of the stills have photographer stamps on the back or embossed, and some have other information on the back, and several have a stamp that identifies them as being from the "James Card Collection"!
