Vignola silent romantic comedy (from the play by Guy Bolton & George Middleton; about a rich man who has an incredibly spoiled daughter, and he hates watching her spend money, so he leaves for South America and turns his business over to a young employee; the employee decides to teach the daughter a lesson and tells her that her father went broke, and she moves the family to a farm, where she learns the value of hard work and falls in love with the young employee) starring Marion Davies (in the title role as Eva King), T. Roy Barnes, Tom Lewis, William Norris, and Percy Ames. T. Roy Barnes might have been a forgotten actor today except for one scene he did in a sound film, long after his leading man days were over. He was the insurance man who disturbed W.C. Fields' sleep while looking for Carl LaFong in "It's a Gift"! Also, 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 this still is a key book still, mounted to a linen backing. Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top, with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic. Someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the left of the still. Condition: very good. The left 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above). Otherwise, the still is in nice condition!
