An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Mother Knows Best, the 1928 John G. Blystone mother-daughter theater stage play acting romantic melodrama ("A love-hungry stage star cuts the apron strings of her managing mama"; "William Fox's first talking production"; "From the story by Edna Ferber"; about a stage actress who has an overbearing stage mother) starring Madge Bellamy, Louise Dresser, Anne Shirley, Barry Norton, and Albert Gran. Note that this was Fox's very first talking movie, and is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. That is a real shame, because it is a fascinating movie, because Madge Bellamy, during the portions of the film where she is shown performing on stage, she impersonated several popular performers of the day including Anna Held, Sir Harry Lauder, and Al Jolson singing "My Mammy" in blackface, which, of course, made sense at the time! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Condition: very good to fine. The still is very lightly rippled across the top and bottom edges, but it is more "felt" than seen, and the still is otherwise in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
