Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" Movie Still (Learn More)

The Blackbird (also released as "The Black Bird"), the 1926 Tod Browning silent romantic love triangle crime thriller ("Story by Tod Browning"; a really great story of a master thief in London who steals at night, and by day poses as the crippled owner of a rescue mission, who is called "The Bishop", and of course, no one suspects him of being "The Black Bird", which is what the master thief is called; meanwhile, the thief and his arch rival "West End Bertie" are both in love with the same girl, and they make a bet over which one of them will steal an important diamond collar and give it to the girl as a present; while trying to steal it, The Black Bird shoots a Scotland Yard detective, and retreats to his mission, where he becomes "The Bishop", but he discovers to his horror that his joints are permanently fused by having pretended to be crippled for so long!; so he views it as God's punishment, and he gives up his life as The Black Bird, and becomes The Bishop for real, helping poor people, and West End Bertie gets the girl) starring Lon Chaney Sr. (in the title role as "The Black Bird"), Owen Moore, Renee Adoree, Doris Lloyd, and Andy MacLennan. Note that the IMDb lists the title of this movie as "The Blackbird", but the posters have the title as "The Black Bird". However, the original campaign book trade ad shows it as "The Blackbird", so we imagine the title was changed just prior to release, and it is difficult to say that one is more accurate than the other.

Important Added Info:

NOTE: In this case, the #2 in the title of this sale is not the number of the still (whenever we know the number of a still we list it for those of you who know which 8x10s you are looking for). In this case, the stills from this particular set were un-numbered, but because we are selling more than one still from this set this week as separate eBay sales, we needed to differentiate between the sales, and we did so by marking them "#1, #2, etc.

Condition: very good. There are light creases and pinholes around the edges of the still. There is a chip off the upper right corner and some minor unevenness in the upper left in the gloss.
