An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" Movie Still (Learn More) Hell's House, the 1932 Paul Gangelin & B. Harrison Orkow bad teens reform school bootlegging crime melodrama ("A human symphony for all ages!"; about a teenage boy who is orphaned and idolizes a bootlegger, and he goes to work for him, and takes the blame for him when something goes wrong, and he is sent to reform school!) starring Pat O'Brien, Junior Durkin, Frank Coghlan Jr., Emma Dunn, and Bette Davis (very young in this role!). Note that this movie came out before Bette Davis was a star, and she plays the minor role of the bootlegger's girlfriend, and is not billed or pictured on the original posters, and rightfully so. But soon after the movie's release, she became a star, there was a very deceptive re-release of this movie, on which she was the top star! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still has an image of Bette Davis being comforted by Pat O'Brien, while Junior Durkin looks on. Just as with the posters from the original release of this movie, this still only credits Durkin and O'Brien. It is amazing to me that the makers of this movie could not recognize how special Bette Davis was and that she deserved to be heavily promoted! Condition: very good. There are four thumb tack holes in the corners of the image background. There are faint emulsion scuffs scattered throughout the still, but they are truthfully not very noticeable except when the still is tilted to the light. Learn More about condition grades
