An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More)

I Found Stella Parish, the 1935 Mervyn LeRoy romantic theater actress blackmail crime melodrama ("See the story nobody knows, about the woman everybody knows!", a wild plot about a successful English stage actress who disappears without a trace, leaving her infant daughter, and a reporter discovers she had been in jail, which was why she disappeared, and he is won over by her and agrees not to run the story, but it is accidentally run anyway, and her career is ruined, and she ends up in a burlesque show, but the reporter engineers her triumphant comeback, to make up for his mistake!) starring Kay Francis (in the title role as Stella Parish), Ian Hunter, Paul Lukas, Sybil Jason, Jessie Ralph, Barton MacLane, Eddie Acuff, and Joseph Sawyer. Note that this movie was obviously thrown together from several real-life events, including the disappearance of Agatha Christie in 1926, the odd public life of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, and other odd occurrences featuring famous public figures. Note that Sybil Jason was born in South Africa, but was a singing and dancing child prodigy in England from the age of 2. When she was 6, Jack Warner saw her perform, and signed her to a contract hoping she could be a child star for Warner Bros. to equal Shirley Temple at 20th Century-Fox. However, after a few movies, including starring opposite Al Jolson in "The Singing Kid", she did not deliver the hoped for results, and Warner Bros. did not renew her contract in 1938. Daryl Zanuck signed her at 20th Century-Fox, putting her with Shirley Temple in "The Little Princess". She was supposed to have a major role in "The Blue Bird", opposite Shirley Temple, but most of her scenes were cut from the movie (perhaps because it was feared she would "upstage" Shirley Temple, who was "getting old"!), and she "retired". In 1947, at the age of 18, she married a Navy man, and they had a child and were married for 58 years until his passing in 2006, and she passed away in 2011 at the age of 83!
