Artist: artwork Important Added Info: Note that this still has a great montage of all the lead actors (most more than once) intermixed with three images of the hotel sign. It has a date stamp on the back from April 12, 1932, which was the exact date that the movie had its New York premiere, so surely this still was created to promote that premiere! Note that this still was consigned to us by legendary collector/dealer Marty Davis! Marty was hired in 1972 to evaluate the entire collection of W. Ward Marsh (1893-1971), who was the film critic for the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper from 1919, until his retirement in 1970. In 1919 Marsh wrote his first of 23,000 movie reviews for the Plain Dealer. Marsh died less than a year after his retirement in 1970. His library, and photographic and memorabilia archives were given to the proprietor of Cleveland's finest bookstore. Marty Davis was the first person with a background in film history and collectibles to examine the archives. He worked for three to four hours a day, for six months, and his compensation was his pick of the archives. This still is from the W. Ward Marsh archives, and it was stamped on the back by Marty Davis to indicate that it came from this legendary collection. Finally, note that this still measures 9 1/2" x 12" [24 x 30 cm], but it has not been trimmed, and that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Condition: good to very good. There are two creases near the middle of the left of the still that extend inward by around 1/4" and 1/2". There is scuffing scattered over the face of the still. It is not very noticeable at all, except when the still is tilted to the light. Learn More about condition grades
