5 1/2" Movie Stars Crushed Stone Chess Pieces

The Golden Age of Hollywood is said to have begun in the late 1920’s, from the end of the silent film era and continued through to the late 1950’s. The 1927 film, The jazz Singer, signaled the end of the end to silent films and box office receipts started to climb. This new surge in film popularity gave Hollywood enough momentum to for three decades of successful film making.

During this magical era the big time studios MGM, Paramount, 20th Century Fox and RKO Pictures gave birth to dozens of new stars. many of these would go on to become Hollywood legends like Clark gable, Bette Davies, Cary Grant, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall and Ingrid Bergman.
