Description

“Feeling like a Chinese girl with bound feet, I hobbled over to the wet cement and made the prints. When I was in Hollywood recently I went to look at them, and my feet are smaller than my hands!”

Souvenir typescript, 8.5 x 11, of an excerpt from her book Silent Star, signed in green felt tip, in part: “I had won the exhibitors’ poll as number one box-office attraction not only in 1926, but again in 1927. On December 19, 1927, Sid Grauman having decided I rated the big cement job, I had put my hand–and footprints in the forecourt of his Chinese Theater. (Determined to have my feet look properly dainty instead of my own size six—now eight—I bought a pair of very tiny shoes with spike heels. Feeling like a Chinese girl with bound feet, I hobbled over to the wet cement and made the prints. When I was in Hollywood recently I went to look at them, and my feet are smaller than my hands!).” Scattered creases, some light toning, and two stray ink marks to the upper right corner, otherwise fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
