Film Fun 1925-10-Original

The original painting by Bolles, as used for the cover for the October, 1924 issue. Thanks to John Kelley for sending us a photo of this. He writes, "I was a junior art director at Benton & Boles in New York in 1968-69, and one of the senior art directors knew Mrs. Bolles and had 8 or 10 of his paintings that she wanted to sell. I believe there were only 2 left when I chose this one, and I'm not sure what I paid for it. It has been on my wall these many years, in Manhattan, Montreal, Vermont and now Maine. There are two small punctures in the lower right hand corner; that happened during a move."

We've restored the image in Photoshop, and the painting could certainly be repaired. John says it may be for sale soon; contact us for information.
