Description

Jack Pierce Scrapbook Lot - The Phantom of the Opera (Universal, 1943). Stills (2) (7.5" X 9" and 4" X 5"). At last! For years, fans of the Clause Rains version of "The Phantom of the Opera" have wanted to see clear pictures of Jack Pierce's stunning makeup for the disfigured Enrique Claudin. These pictures finally reveal Pierce's incredible work. The profile of Rains has been trimmed to 7.5" X 9" and bears a "Proof Only" stamp on the reverse. It also has a date stamp of Feb. 27, 1943 and, in the upper left corner, Pierce has written "C Rains." The other still is a candid snapshot of Pierce applying his makeup to Rains and bears a date stamp on the reverse of Mar 24, 1943. This snapshot is in near mint condition. From the Personal Scrapbook of Jack Pierce. Very Good.
