Important Added Info: Note that any movie paper from this classic early all-black film is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned two stills with images from the movie, and one that showed a theater front advertising the movie. But this wonderful still by Apeda shows director King Vidor with his camera, and he is "directing a test scene", and there is a great snipe on the back, guaranteeing it is surely from the beginning of production! Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
