Don Juan, the 1926 Alan Crosland silent historic Italy romantic adventure melodrama ("Real moving pictures!"; the movie opens with Don Juan's father Don Jose, also played by Barrymore, and because he is betrayed by his wife, he tells his young son to only take from women and never give anything to them, and his son grows up to follow his father's words, and is also involved in much intrigue with the Borgias, but he finally falls in love with pretty young Mary Astor) starring John Barrymore (in the title role as Don Juan/Don Jose), Mary Astor (19 years old, hand picked by Barrymore for his co-star, and he had an affair with her!), Estelle Taylor (as Lucretia Borgia), Warner Oland, Montagu Love, Helene Costello, Jane Winton, Myrna Loy (as Maia, Lucretia's maid!), June Marlowe, Sheldon Lewis, Hedda Hopper, John Roche, Yvonne Day (as Don Juan, 5 years old), and Philippe De Lacey (as Don Juan, 10 years old).

Important Added Info: Note that this is a "studio-issued" negative. What is it? It was produced by the studio but is not the camera original. It is very high quality and was created in quantity by the studios and sent to media outlets or other places that had need of the very highest quality image for reproduction purposes (in newspapers, magazines, or elsewhere). We have taken a scan of the negative as it appears, and also a special scan of the negative that shows the "positive image". We will provide the winning bidder of this auction with that positive image scan. The negative is in a plastic sleeve (but we removed it and scanned it, so that bidders could see just how high quality it is). It will be sent to the winner of the auction in its plastic sleeve.

This is a very special auction of 444 extremely rare negatives and transparencies of various sizes. EVERY single one in this auction is either "studio issued" (meaning it was created by the studio and sent to theaters and movie outlets), OR it is a "camera original" (meaning it was the actual negative that was in the camera when the photographer took the picture). Every auction clearly identifies which they are, and there are no items being auctioned that are not either "studio issue" or "camera originals". We have divided them by type and size.

Also note that every one of these 444 auctions have had their transparencies and/or negatives scanned expertly. This auction contains that scan with the "eMoviePoster.com" watermark over it. ONLY the winner of this auction will, on request, be sent UNWATERMARKED scan(s) of the items in this auction, which will both save them the time and expense of scanning them themselves, and also allow them to make high quality positive prints of the items they purchased.
