Great 8x10-inch black-and-white glossy publicity photo / movie still was produced to promote popular silent actor, JOHN GILBERT. It was shot in the early 1930s. We are not sure whether this photo is from a particular film, or was just a publicity photo promoting the star. The photo features a great close-up portrait of a smiling JOHN GILBERT. Overall condition: EXCELLENT/EXCELLENT+..... The still has a single pinhole at the upper left and upper right corners, and a very light crease near the bottom of the image. However, these minor flaws are not very distracting, and otherwise, the photo is clean and bright. VIEW OUR OTHER AUCTIONS TO SEE MORE VINTAGE FILM PHOTOS AND OTHER MOVIE RELATED ITEMS.
