eMoviePoster.comAuction History Result 1h024 SWISS MISS 3.5x5.25 photo 1938 theater display w/Laurel & Hardy, Academy Award cartoon revue! Date Sold 10/15/2017Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage 3 1/2" x 5 1/4" Photo (Learn More) Swiss Miss, the 1938 John G. Blystone romantic Switzerland screwball comedy ("In a big, lavish, musical super feature"; "Original story by Jean Negulesco and Charles Rogers"; produced by Hal Roach; about two mouse trap salesmen who go broke in Switzerland, and they get jobs in a hotel, and get involved with a chambermaid who is actually a famous opera singer spying on her husband) starring Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy (Laurel and Hardy), Della Lind, Walter Woolf King, Eric Blore, Grete Natzler, Adia Kuznetzoff, and Charles Gemora (as the man in the gorilla suit, in a memorable sequence where Laurel and Hardy are trying to move a piano over a rope bridge). Note that Charles Gemora played gorillas in many movies, likely because he owned a gorilla suit, and could do a somewhat convincing job portraying a gorilla. Just a few years later, Ray 'Crash' Corrigan would also start playing gorillas, and no doubt they competed for roles in every movie requiring a gorilla!

Important Added Info: Note that this is one of a wonderful collection of 29 photos (most measure 3.5x5.25, but some measure slightly smaller) that were taken by a man who worked at a large movie theater in the late 1930s and early 1940s. He created wonderful theater fronts and homemade posters (some that were displayed outside the theater and some inside the theater), and after he finished making his displays, he would take a picture of each and then he put them in a scrapbook. It is very rare to find photos of original theater fronts and local theater displays from this time period, and this is a rare opportunity to acquire 29 different ones (each in a separate auction). Condition: very good. The photo was stapled and glued to an album page, and there are staple holes in the corners and glue stains on the back, but they do not affect the front (see our images).
