Marian Marsh Signed Script for Five Star Final
<B>Marian Marsh's Signed Script for "Five Star Final".</B></I> Warner Bros.' <I>Five Star Final</B></I> was the studio's biggest hit of 1931, winning an Academy Award nomination as Best Picture. Marian Marsh, fresh from <I>Svengali,</B></I> had one of her best roles as Jenny, whose parents are driven to suicide by a muckraking newspaper that exposes her mother's past -- and Jenny's illegitimacy. "Why did you kill my mother?" demands Marian's Jenny as she confronts editor Edward G. Robinson and fake preacher Boris Karloff in the newspaper office, building to a hysterical, "Raise my mother and father from the dead!" This is Marian's script from the film, dated April 10, 1931, titled "Part of JENNY" and and printed as a 19-page theatrical "side" -- e.g., with just her dialogue and cue lines. Marian had written her name in pencil on the script's cover. <I>Five Star Final</B></I> was one of Warner Bros.' all-time powerhouse classics and certainly one of Marian Marsh's finest performances, climactically played at such a pitch that co-star Aline MacMahon worried that Marian would lose her voice. <I>From the Marian Marsh Archive.</B></I> <I>Accompanied by LOA from PSA/DNA.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
