Vintage original 11x14 in. US lobby card from the classic silent film melodrama SECRETS, released in 1924 by First National Pictures and directed by Frank Borzage. Based upon the play by Rudolph Besier, after 40 years of struggle on the Wyoming
frontier, a woman (Norma Talmadge) reflects on her hardscrabble life with her unfaithful
husband (Eugene O'Brien).
The image features an interior long shot of Mary Carlton (Norma Talmadge) wearing a slip and hoop skirt as she stands behind the door of her room as William Marlowe (George Nichols) tries to enter while her beau, John Carlton (Eugene O'Brien), hides beneath one of her large dresses. Printed for the film's original 1924 US theatrical release, it is unrestored in fine+ condition with signs of foxing along the outer edges and two pinholes in the bottom right corner. The color tints are fresh and vibrant without any signs of fading.
The film is based upon a 1922 play of the same name and was remade in 1933 with Mary Pickford in the leading role. |
