An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" [17 x 22 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) The Black Box, the 1915 Otis Turner silent science fiction (sci-fi) crime murder mystery melodrama serial ("Produced in the worlds greatest studio by Otis Turner"; "15 weeks 30 reels"; "The Universal Film Mfg. Co's mightiest serial achievement"; "Written by the Acknowledged Master of Mystery Story Writers E. Phillips Oppenheim") starring Herbert Rawlinson, Ann Little (billed as "Anna Little"), William Worthington, Mark Fenton, and Laura Oakley. Note that this movie is completely forgotten today, except by major film buffs, but that is sad, because it is one of the first true science fiction movies! The plot concerns a mysterious "black box" that has come from the future and helps a police inspector solve a murder mystery, but an even greater mystery is where the black box came from and why it was sent to the past! 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 first release 1915 movie paper from this early sci-fi serial is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a magazine ad (but theatrical NO movie paper of any kind) from this movie until we received this one! Note that this still measures 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" [17 x 22 cm], but it has not been trimmed (we have seen a few other very early stills from this time period that also measured odd sizes like this one). Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
