Auction History Result 9b672 STAIRS OF SAND LC '29 Zane Grey, Wallace Beery frees pretty young Jean Arthur! Date Sold 2/8/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Zane Grey's Stairs of Sand, the 1929 Otto Brower romantic love triangle cowboy western (based on the novel by Zane Grey; an unusual story of a bandit who robs a stagecoach and steals all the money a pretty woman has, and she is forced to become a dancer in a saloon; later, their paths cross again, and the bandit starts to fall in love with her, but she falls for a handsome young stranger, and the bandit nobly sacrifices himself so that the young lovers can be happy together) starring Wallace Beery, Jean Arthur, Chester Conklin, Guy Oliver, and Phillips Holmes. Note that Phillips Holmes had made an impression in some movies in the late 1920s. In 1931, he would get the lead in the first version of "An American Tragedy", which made it seem like he would become a major star, but that didn't materialize. He had a major affair with Libby Holman, but that was certainly complicated, and when they broke up, she immediately married his brother! Oddly, years later, Holman would have another very complicated affair with Montgomery Clift, who played the same part in the remake of "An American Tragedy", retitled "A Place in the Sun". Sadly, Holmes died in a plane crash in 1942. I am very surprised no one has made a movie about his life, or a joint movie about him and Libby Holman! Also, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good to fine.
