Date Sold 2/23/2020Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 7 3/4" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Spanish Movie Still (Learn More) The Phantom of the Opera, the classic 1925 Rupert Julian Universal silent Paris France opera house murder mystery horror thriller ("Carl Laemmle presents Gaston Leroux's magnificent story of Parisian gaiety and intrigue"; "Weird! Wild! Wonderful!"; from the novel by Gaston Leroux, which was published in a serialized format in 1909 and 1910) starring Lon Chaney Sr. (in the title role as Erik, The Phantom), Norman Kerry (as Vicomte Raoul de Chagny), Mary Philbin (as Christine Daae), Arthur Edmund Carewe (as Ledoux), Gibson Gowland (as Simon Buquet), Carla Laemmle (uncredited as one of the ballerinas), Alexander Bevani, and "5000 others". Note that this movie was remade in 1943 with Claude Rains as the Phantom and Susannah Foster as Christine. In 1986, Andrew Lloyd Webber made a musical stage play version, which is perhaps the most successful stage play of all time, and is still running on Broadway! In 2004, Webber's musical was made into a movie, with Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum. Also note that as they did with many of their major productions at this time, Universal created two completely different sets of lobby cards, with different designs and two title cards, so there are sixteen first release cards, two sets of eight.

Important Added Info: Note that this Spanish still, which measures 7 3/4" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] and is on a deluxe heavyweight paper stock, has a wonderful close image of Chaney in full makeup. It is a slightly different size from U.S. stills and has a different Universal logo, but what a wonderful image! It will be the centerpiece of some Lon Chaney collector's collection! Finally, note that we can't say for certain if this movie first played in Spain in 1925 or 1926, because it played around the world at the end of 1925 and at the start of 1926, but it is surely from that period. Condition: good. This Spanish still was used in a magazine, and someone at the magazine put marks around Chaney's figure showing the portion they wanted to use for the magazine and they put printer instructions above the top line at top right. There are also some faint creases, smudges, and scuffs in Chaney's figure, but they are mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light. In spite of the above, this wonderful still can certainly be displayed and enjoyed exactly as it is, but bear in mind these defects before bidding on this. Learn More about condition grades
