The Devil's Pawn (Paramount, 1922). One Sheet (27  X 41 )
The Devil's Pawn (Paramount, 1922). One Sheet (27" X 41"). Originally made in Germany as "Der Gelbe Schein" in 1918, it wasn't released in the U.S. until 1922 after Pola Negri's popularity had crossed the Atlantic via her German collaborations with Ernst Lubitsch. Negri had made a name for herself in German cinema as a mysterious beauty, and she continued to entrance American audiences with her US films including "Forbidden Paradise" and "Hotel Imperial." She was the rage of the media with her reported affairs with Chaplin and Valentino, and later Hitler, upon her return to Germany. This stunning portrait One Sheet is probably the earliest poster to introduce the American public to their new star. Very Fine on Linen. Important notice: 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.
