Date Sold 8/28/2016Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 7 3/4" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) The Secret Call, the 1931 Stuart Walker hotel switchboard operator romantic melodrama starring Richard Arlen, Peggy Shannon, William B. Davidson, Charles Trowbridge, Ned Sparks, and Jane Keithley. Note that this movie had been set to star Clara Bow, but just before filming was to start, she had a nervous breakdown, and a desperate Paramount turned to stage actress Peggy Shannon, who had been just signed to a contract. She started filming this just five days after she arrived in Hollywood, and she apparently did a good job and was well received, but unfortunately did not have a major success in Hollywood, making a few dozen movies in the 1930s, few of them memorable ones. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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 left of the still. Condition: very good to fine. The left 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above). Otherwise, the still is in nice condition!
