An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed 8" x 9 3/4" Movie Still (Learn More) George Arliss was an English actor from the 1920s to the 1930s. He was the rare case of an older not attractive actor who became a giant star, even more impressive, because he held onto his stardom from the 1920s into the mid 1930s, and in some cases, he remade some of his biggest silent hits as sound movies! Some of his movies include: The Working Man, The Millionaire, The Tunnel, Voltaire, Disraeli (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Green Goddess (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), and The Man Who Played God. He passed away in 1946 at the age of 77. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by George Arliss! Also note that this still has been neatly trimmed and it now measures 8" x 9 3/4". Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who was a major movie memorabilia dealer in the 1970s and 1980s. During that time, he was approached by an elderly man named Sterling H. Bond, who had collected autographs for many years (starting in the early 1930s), and who sold the dealer his entire collection. Bond had tracked down many important Hollywood celebrities and obtained autographed items (often personalized to him), and he also had autographs from celebrities who were not in the film business (including famous politicians!). The dealer was so impressed with this collection that rather than sell it item by item, he began collecting autographs himself, sending celebrities items by Registered Mail which they then autographed and returned to him! He also purchased a few autographed items from top autograph dealers of the 1970s and 1980s. Now, decades later, the dealer consigned these autographed items to us, and we have sold many of them in our previous "all signed" auctions, and this set of auctions contains the last of them. All of these autographed items from this consignor were either obtained by long time collector Sterling H. Bond, or were obtained by this memorabilia dealer, and we feel certain that the autograph on this item is authentic! Condition: good to very good. Approximately 1/4" was trimmed from the bottom border (likely only blank white paper), but it is otherwise in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
