Vintage borderless photograph of Jackie Coogan as Tom Sawyer by photographer Ray Jones, circa 1933, with a mimeo snipe, a studio stamp crediting photographer Jones, and a "1933" publication stamp on the verso. Coogan starred in two films for Paramount Pictures based on Mark Twain's classic 1876 novel "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," "Tom Sawyer" in 1930 and "Huckleberry Finn" in 1931, both starring Coogan as Tom Sawyer, Junior Durkin as Huckleberry Finn, and Mitzi Green as Becky Thatcher. From the archive of noted Hollywood still photographer Ray Jones. Born in Wisconsin on January 1, 1901, Jones worked for Paramount Pictures in the early 1930s, and went on to be the head of the still photography department at Universal Pictures in 1935, where he worked well into the 1950s. Born into a family of vaudevillians, Jackie Coogan was on the stage by age four and touring by five. Coogan appeared in over 50 films beginning at the age of three in 1917 until the year before his death in 1984. Spotted as a child by Charlie Chaplin while performing on stage, he was initially given a small part by Chaplin in "A Day's Pleasure" (1919), before starring the young actor opposite Chaplin in his 1921 classic "The Kid." By 1923 Coogan was one of the highest-paid stars in Hollywood, though by the beginning of the 1930s, the time of the "Tom Sawyer" films represented here, his career was beginning to wane as he grew older. His career wouldn't see a resurgence until 1950s when Coogan would frequently appeared on television, most famously as Uncle Fester on the 1964-1966 ABC comedy series "The Addams Family." 9.5 x 7.25 inches.
