Auction History Result 9s399 GREAT GATSBY candid deluxe 7.5x9.5 still 1926 Warner Baxter about to be filmed in moving car! Date Sold 9/17/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" [19 x 24 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) The Great Gatsby, the 1926 Herbert Brenon silent romantic melodrama ("From the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald") starring Warner Baxter (in the title role as Jay Gatsby), Lois Wilson (as Daisy Buchanan), Neil Hamilton (as Nick Carraway), Georgia Hale, William Powell (as George Wilson), and Carmelita Geraghty (as Jordan Baker). Note that there were three more movies based on this classic novel (which was published just one year before this 1926 move was released), one with Alan Ladd in 1949, one with Robert Redford in 1974, and one with Leonardo DiCaprio in 2013, but this first silent version is completely forgotten today, except by major film buffs! Also, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist (but a trailer does survive). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still (and a number of others we are currently auctioning) has a most unusual provenance. Our consignor's father worked at Paramount Studios between 1925 and 1927, and he was given a number of deluxe stills (and a few regular ones) from then-current films, and he kept them all the years since, and now they have been consigned to us! We put three great portraits from this collection (portraits of Louise Brooks, W.C. Fields, and Clara Bow) in our September Major Auction, and now we have many of the other individual stills in this auction of single stills. This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire these extremely rare stills (and other than some of them measuring under 8x10, which likely occurred prior to them being distributed, they are in quite nice condition, especially considering their age). Note that this still measures 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" [19 x 24 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
