Auction History Result 6t591 GIRL OF THE PORT 8x10.25 still '30 Sally O'Neil & her shell-shocked WWI veteran beau in Fiji Date Sold 3/23/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Girl of the Port, the 1930 Bert Glennon tropical island Fiji romantic love triangle melodrama (a wacky story of a showgirl who ends up stranded in Fiji, and gets a job in a nightclub there, where she has an affair with a shell-shocked veteran of World War I, but there is a "halfcaste" owner of the club posing as white who wants her, and the veteran can't bring himself to fight, but after fire-walking with the natives, he overcomes his fears and beats up the club owner and marries the showgirl) starring Sally O'Neil, Reginald Sharland, Mitchell Lewis, Duke Kahanamoku (who was a legendary Hawaiian five-time Olympic medalist and actor who is credited with popularizing the sport of surfing), and Arthur Clayton. Note that male lead Reginald Sharland was an English actor who was 44 when this movie was made, which seems pretty old for a leading man! He only made eleven movies between 1927 and 1934, and he passed away in 1944, and we have not found more information about him. If anyone knows more about him, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. Note that not only does our current auction of 999 stills represent the absolute finest selection we have ever had in terms of quality of image and film, but it also represents the finest CONDITION group of stills we have ever had! Half of the stills are graded as being in "very good to fine" condition (which is our highest grade for vintage stills), but we were very strict on this, because otherwise, perhaps two thirds or three quarters of the stills would have received this grade! We downgraded stills to "very good" for pretty minor defects, and many of these might have received our "very good to fine" grade in the past. And the half of the stills that ARE in very good to fine condition would likely be graded "mint" by any other auction! This is the finest group of stills I have ever seen, and I can only hope to equal it someday! Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
