Vintage reference photograph of Edward G. Robinson and Jean Arthur on the set of the 1935 film. Photograph with three stamps and provenance sticker on the verso, incluiding one stamp crediting photographer Ray Jones, with a mimeo snipe on the verso under the working title "Passport to Fame." Not to be confused with the 1926 silent comedy directed by Edward Laemmle and starring Edward Everett Horton. 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. Based on the 1932 "Collier's" published short story "Jail Breaker" by W.R. Burnett. The meek Arthur Ferguson Jones is mistaken by the police for the evil bank robber killer Mannion, which Mannion decides to use in his favor. Starring Edward G. Robinson in dual roles in an early talkie by director John Ford. 8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus, with a tiny closed tear to the bottom margin.
