An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Polly Moran was an actress from the 1910s to the 1950s. She was a very successful vaudeville performer in the 1910s, and then was signed by Mack Sennett in 1915, and she became a major comedienne. She is best remembered for her series of comedies with Marie Dressler. She had one final success with an important role in Adam's Rib in 1949. Moran passed away in 1952 at the age of 68. Important Added Info: Note that this still has three newspaper clippings on the back which tell about Miss Moran's husband Marty Malone, who was apparently quite a scoundrel! Note that this still was consigned to us by legendary collector/dealer Marty Davis! Marty was hired in 1972 to evaluate the entire collection of W. Ward Marsh (1893-1971), who was the film critic for the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper from 1919, until his retirement in 1970. In 1919 Marsh wrote his first of 23,000 movie reviews for the Plain Dealer. Marsh died less than a year after his retirement in 1970. His library, and photographic and memorabilia archives were given to the proprietor of Cleveland's finest bookstore. Marty Davis was the first person with a background in film history and collectibles to examine the archives. He worked for three to four hours a day, for six months, and his compensation was his pick of the archives. This still (and the other stills that carry this paragraph) are from the W. Ward Marsh archives, and all were stamped on the back by Marty Davis to indicate that they came from this legendary collection. Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
