Vintage original 8x10 in. US single-weight glossy photograph from the silent film drama, BUTTONS, released in 1927 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and directed by George W. Hill. Child star Jackie Coogan is a young street orphan, Buttons, who gets a job as a pageboy on an ocean liner. He and
his friend, Slugger (Paul Hurst), get on the wrong side of the ship's captain (Lars Hanson), however, when
they try to tell him his wife, who is aboard the ship, is cheating on him. The
captain throws them both in the brig and their troubles get even more
complicated when the ship is wrecked at sea and is in danger of sinking.
The image features an interior shot inside the gymnasium on board an ocean liner as ship's pageboy Buttons (Jackie Coogan) looks inside the room and spots passenger Henri Rizard (Roy D'Arcy) suffering inside of a sweat box after being left alone. Printed on single-weight stock with a glossy finish, this vintage original photograph is in very fine+ condition with light signs of wear on the corners. There are no pinholes, tears, stains, or other flaws.
