An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Flying Romeos, the 1928 Mervyn LeRoy silent aviation pilot romantic comedy (from the story by Jack McDermott) starring Charles Murray, George Sidney, Fritzi Ridgeway, Lester Bernard, Duke Martin, and James Bradbury Jr. Note that the only item from this movie we have ever auctioned is a still that shows a black African American man standing behind Murray and Sidney, yet he is not credited. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Charles Murray was one of the pioneer actors of early motion pictures. He began acting in 1912 and appeared in 282 movies altogether, 172 of them from before 1920. He was 40 years old when he began acting, and he often played middle-aged man roles (and progressed to old man roles as he aged). He played the title role in the 1925 version of "The Wizard of Oz", and he appeared in the "Cohens & Kellys" series of movies, along with George Sidney (the two co-starred in this movie in between making some of the Cohens & Kellys movies). Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have never previously auctioned anything from this movie until we received this still! Note that in our last set of auctions that include multiple stills from single titles, we had 72 sets of stills that came from a wonderful group of just-discovered stills that are from 1927 to 1929, with the majority from 1928 exactly. Now, we are auctioning the remaining stills from this wonderful group, 131, all in separate auctions. In addition to them including a LOT of previously unseen stills (and sometimes from incredibly rare titles!), most of these stills have either snipes on the bottom or back, and many have some pencil writing on the back about the movie or actors. After these stills are auctioned, there will be no more stills from this wonderful collection! Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
