Date Sold 9/17/2017Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" [19 x 24 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) The Quarterback, the 1926 Fred C. Newmeyer silent college university football sports screwball comedy ("Story by W.O. McGeehan and William Slavens McNutt"; "Football game supervised by 'Hurry Up' Yost"; a wacky story of a man who is quarterback of his college football team in 1899, and they lose to their rival, and he vows to stay in school until they beat the rival, and 27 years later, he is still in school, because they have never beaten the rival, and his son is a great football player who can finally let his father leave school, but he doesn't seem eligible to play, although everything works out in the end) starring Richard Dix, Esther Ralston, Harry Beresford, David Butler, and Robert W. Craig. Note that Charles Starrett and Barton MacLane were among the many, many people who had uncredited parts as some of the football players. We don't know if any of the other people who played football players went on to fame, but there probably are at least a few! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this wonderful candid shows visitor Helen Wills posing with her tennis racket and Richard Dix on the set of this movie! Of course, Helen Wills was a legendary tennis player who became one of the first tennis celebrities, winning Wimbledon nine times. Note that someone wrote "Helen Moody" on the back of the still, because that was her married name at the time. Also note that this still (and a number of others we are currently auctioning) has a most unusual provenance. Our consignor's father worked at Paramount Studios between 1925 and 1927, and he was given a number of deluxe stills (and a few regular ones) from then-current films, and he kept them all the years since, and now they have been consigned to us! We put three great portraits from this collection (portraits of Louise Brooks, W.C. Fields, and Clara Bow) in our September Major Auction, and now we have many of the other individual stills in this auction of single stills. This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire these extremely rare stills (and other than some of them measuring under 8x10, which likely occurred prior to them being distributed, they are in quite nice condition, especially considering their age). Note that this still measures 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" [19 x 24 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
