An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) The Taxi Dancer, the 1927 Henry F. Millarde silent New York City Roaring '20s romantic gambling dancing comedy ("She'll dance with you at so much per dance!"; "From the story by Robert Terry Shannon"; about a beautiful poor southern girl who goes to New York City to become a professional dancer, but she can't find work, so she ends up becoming a taxi dancer in a gambling club, and gets a boyfriend who is a professional gambler; she thinks she meets a rich man who will take her out of this dive, but he turns out to be a thief and murderer, and she returns to her gambler boyfriend) starring Joan Crawford, Owen Moore, Marc McDermott, Gertrude Astor, Rockliffe Fellowes, and Douglas Gilmore. Note that the phrase "taxi dancer" was a Roaring '20s phrase and refers to a 10-cents-a-dance type dancer, who dancers with men for money, and each dance lasts for a set amount of time, and then they must pay again, much like when you are being driven in a taxi! Also note that this movie was very early in Crawford's career. She had had a few major roles before this, but they were supporting to the lead male actor, and this was her first movie where she was the headliner. But she was still so relatively not a major draw to the general public that MGM did not even put her name on this window card (although they did put a wonderfully sexy image of her!).

There is clear tape on the back of the upper right border. Learn More about condition grades
