THE VICTOR (1923) Aristocrat-Turned-Boxer and 50 similar items

Vintage original 8x10 in. US single-weight glossy photograph from the 1920's British aristocrat-turned-boxer comedy/romance, THE VICTOR, released in 1923 by Universal Pictures and directed by Edward Laemmle. Based on the story, "Two Bells for Pegasus," by Gerald Beaumont, the Honorable Fitzhugh Waring (Herbert Rawlinson), eldest son of Lord Waring, comes to America on his father's advice to marry Chiquita Jones (Esther Ralston), the daughter of P. Jones (Otis Harlan), a rich chewing gum baron, and save the family estate. Almost starving because he is too proud to carry out his original plan, Fitzhugh meets Teddy (Dorothy Manners), a poor but pretty actress, who shares her meal of doughnuts with him. Fitzhugh becomes a prizefighter to earn some money and is so successful that he wins the British middleweight crown. The money saves Lord Waring's finances, and Fitzhugh gets the old man's approval of his marriage to Teddy. The cast includes Frank Currier, Eddie Gribbon, and Tom McGuire. The image features an interior shot inside the hotel room of British aristocrat Cecil Fitzhugh Waring (Herbert Rawlinson) as he adjusts his monocle while dealing with an upset Teddi Walters (Dorothy Manners) while another man comes to their assistance. It is in very good- condition with a 3.5 in. tear on the center of the right border that enters the background area; light wear and discoloration in the top border; a small tear on the left border; and light wear on the bottom corners. There are no pinholes, creases, writing, or other flaws.
