About This Item

Detroit, MI: Kromo Gravure Photo Company. Fine. 1917. Single Card. DATE: circa 1910 -1917 SIZE: 3 1/2 inches by 2 1/8 inches CONDITION: This vintage piece of film memorabilia is in fine condition with light edge wear and light dust soiling to the back of the card. ; This Kromo Gravure PhotoTrading Card with Rounded Borders is of Silent Screen Star Agnes Ayres. These cards are believed to have been offered as premiums at local movie theaters and sold in 5 & 10 Cent stores. "Born Agnes Eyre Hintle in Carbondale, Illinois, on April 4th, 1898, Agnes appeared in a bit part in her first movie in 1915 with Essanay Studios, and then went on to become one of the most popular female stars of the silent era. In 1920 she signed a contract with Paramount studios and she was on her way. She appeared opposite Rudolph Valentino in "The Sheik" (1921) , and "The Son Of The Sheik" (1926) , but her sparkling personality and beauty also shone forth in roles as "The Outcast" in "The Ten Commandments" (1923) and as a young minister's wife in "The Affairs of Anatol" (1921) with Wallace Reid. Agnes was married twice, once to a non-professional, and then to writer-producer Manuel Reachi, with whom she had a child. Agnes was good friends with Gloria Swanson, with whom she shared a dressing room during their early days at Essanay. When sound came in, Agnes made a few minor films, then retired from the screen. She died in Los Angeles, California, of a cerebral hemorrhage, on Christmas Day, 1940."

About biblioboy

We are biblioboybiblioboy dealers in Books, Stamps, Ephemera, Victorian Trade cards, Magazines, Postcards, Sheet Music, Engravings, and much more. I started out as a book collector and soon progressed to owning a book store with over 80,000 books and more than 10,000 pieces of ephemera, postcards, and other items. I exhibited my stock for years at book and paper shows around the eastern United States. As the book and paper business has changed over the years, I have changed the way I do business to evolve with the times. I now offer my items for sale on the web only, through my various listing services and web sites. Being a a collector, as well as a dealer, I understand the importance of condition, as well as rarity of an item, and the desire to own scarce and one of a kind items.
