Auction History Result 4x042 SCANDAL SHEET 8x10.25 still 1931 art deco lobby display with live show by Benny Meroff! Date Sold 3/11/2018 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) Scandal Sheet, the 1931 John Cromwell romantic love triangle newspaper yellow journalism crime murder thriller ("Editor's wife caught in Love Nest Raid"; a truly wild story of the publisher of a newspaper who is "married" to his work, but he is also married to beautiful Kay Francis, who he adores, but he also ignores, and that leads her into the arms of suave banker Clive Brook, and when Bancroft, who works so hard he is oblivious to it, learns of her infidelity, he shoots Brook and then returns to his office and writes the story for his newspaper before turning himself in; the movie SHOULD have ended there, but apparently the studio demanded a "happy" ending, and they added a wacky final section where Bancroft is in prison for life, but happily running the prison newspaper!) starring George Bancroft, Clive Brook, Kay Francis, Regis Toomey, Lucien Littlefield, and Gilbert Emery. Note that people who have seen this movie say that it is well made and very enjoyable and that Kay Francis delivers a great (and sexy) pre-Code performance, and that it definitely should be seen! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that in recent auctions we have auctioned small photos of theater fronts from the 1930s and 1940s. Now we have been consigned a really cool collection of mostly 1930s 8x10 stills that show theater fronts and lobby displays (many of them have a stamp from a Boston company on the back, so it seems likely that most or all of them are from theaters in the Boston area)! All of those stills are in this set of auctions (in separate auctions). So this is a rare opportunity to purchase vintage 8x10 stills showing theater fronts from the 1930s (and since we have only auctioned a tiny number of these over all our years of auctioning, there is a good chance that it will be a long time before we have more of them). Also note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
