Dawn (British Film Corp, 1928). One Sht, Silent Stone
<B>Dawn (British & Dominions Film Corporation, 1928).</B></I> One Sheet (27" X 41"). Based on a play by Reginald Berkeley, this film tells the story of World War I martyr Edith Cavell. Dame Sybil Thorndike stars as Cavell, a nurse who risked her own life by rescuing British POWs from the Germans. When Cavell was captured and sentenced to be executed, it sparked international outrage, even from neutral nations. One of the most controversial British films of the 1920s, "Dawn" was heavily censored because of its brutal depiction of warfare and anti-German sentiments. There are minor border imperfections, five small stains and slight fold line wear. The beautiful stone litho offers a wonderful image of Ms. Thorndike in a rare film performance. Very Fine-. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers, and all other information should be considered preliminary. Lot:19565
