Date Sold 12/21/2014Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 5 3/4" x 8 1/2" [15 x 22 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Lon Chaney, Sr. was perhaps the greatest star of the 1920s. Surprisingly, he had minor roles for many years before becoming a major star in the late 1910s, when he became Universal's leading actor. His greatest roles were in silent horror classics. Some of his movies include: He Who Gets Slapped, Laugh Clown Laugh, The Unknown, Tell It to the Marines, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, London After Midnight, The Phantom of the Opera, and the Penalty. He only made one sound movie, The Unholy Three, which was a remake of his own silent version, and then sadly, he passed away in 1930 at the age of 47 from throat cancer (apparently just before he could play the starring role in "Dracula"!) Important Added Info: Note that the still comes with a "certificate of authenticity" from the Chicago Tribune Photo Archives. Also note that this still has been trimmed and it now measures 5 3/4" x 8 1/2" [15 x 22 cm]. Condition: good. The still was trimmed to around Chaney's figure, and touch up paint was applied to his hair and coat (and the background, which was white, was painted over with black paint) to improve the appearance when it would be published in the newspaper. There are scuffs in the painted black background area and some residue from something that was glued on it. There is blue writing at bottom center and pinholes in the corners. There are faint creases scattered throughout the still. In spite of this great still's many defects, it still displays surprisingly well, and would look great framed.
