An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 7 3/4" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Rex Beach's The Spoilers, the 1930 Edward Carewe Alaska gold mining romantic melodrama ("Rex Beach's immortal story"; "You've never seen this picture before!"; "Strong Men - in their grim struggle! Women- of one kind or another! Love-hate-conflict in a land where a weakling didn't belong!"; "Greatest of Yukon romances!"; based on the novel "by Rex Beach"; about three men who have a gold mine in Alaska, but local crooks who run the town try to legally steal it away from them) starring Gary Cooper, Kay Johnson, Betty Compson, William 'Stage' Boyd, Harry Green, Slim Summerville, Oscar Apfel, and William Farnum (in a bit part as a fight spectator; he played the original hero in the 1914 version of this movie!). Note that there were two silent movies based on this same Rex Beach novel (in 1914 and 1923), and two later sound versions (in 1942 and 1956). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that exactly a year ago, we were consigned a wonderful collection of Gary Cooper stills, surely the finest such collection we have ever auctioned (and perhaps the finest ever assembled). Most of those stills had "PROPERTY OF THE B J NICKELODEON" stamped on the back, which was apparently a theater that saved many stills from movies they showed in the late 1920s to the mid 1930s, which accounts for them being in such excellent condition. The collection was purchased many years ago by celebrity Johnny Crawford. Mr. Crawford first came to fame as the son in the TV series "The Rifleman" and later became a band leader loved movies, and early on he collected many stills and lobby cards. NOW WE ARE AT THE END OF AUCTIONING THIS REMARKABLE GARY COOPER COLLECTION OF STILLS! There are exactly 32 of these stills left, and they are all in this set of auctions. After this, there will be no more of these stills, unless we are re-consigned any of the ones we auctioned, so this will be your final opportunity to obtain one or more stills from this remarkable collection. 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 top of the still. Condition: very good. The top 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above). Otherwise, the still is in nice condition!
