Auction History Result 7h952 UNHOLY THREE 7.75x10 still 1925 Lon Chaney Sr., McLaglen, Mae Busch & ventriloquist dummy! Date Sold 6/11/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 7 3/4" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) The Unholy Three, the 1925 Tod Browning silent sideshow crime thriller ("The Ventriloquist - The Dwarf - and The Giant"; "From the story by C.A. Robbins"; "Scenario by Waldemar Young"; "Presented by Louis B. Mayer"; about a trio of carnival sideshow performers who leave show business and start a major crime wave!) starring Lon Chaney Sr., Mae Busch, Matt Moore, Victor McLaglen, Harry Earles, and Alice Julian (a circus "fat lady" who performed at Ringling Brothers circus, and who apparently only made this one movie, and she was uncredited). Note that Lon Chaney re-made this movie as a "talkie" in 1930, but with a different director and cast (although Harry Earles reprised his role as the dwarf, as there was likely a shortage of top dwarf actors suitable to the role). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this great still shows most of the stars from the movie, plus the ventriloquist dummy! Also note that this still measures 7 3/4" x 10" [20 x 25 cm], but it has not been trimmed.
UPDATED 06/05/2017: Note that this still is from the 1925 version of the film, and not the 1930 as the Auction Title originally mentioned. Note that this still likely has a stamp on the back in the form of a diamond that has the letters "TRR". One certainly might wonder who placed this stamp there and why. The answer is that 146 of the stills in this set of auctions come to us from a still collector who has collected for many decades, and long ago he began stamping the back of almost his stills with this stamp, and "TRR" is his initials! We said earlier "likely has", because while this collector stamped most of his stills, he did not stamp every one, so you can see for yourself if this is one of the stamped ones by looking at our image of the back of the still. Each of those stamped stills are stamped lightly, and the stamp does NOT affect the front of the still. He is a VERY advanced collector, and he has consigned many wonderful stills to us! Condition: good to very good. The still has changed to a sepia color. There was surface paper loss in the top left corner of the image background, and someone crudely colored it to try to hide it. There are creases in the top corners. Learn More about condition grades
