The artist's model of the statue of Janet Gaynor in costume as 'Diane' from the Oscar winning film. The full size version of this sat right outside the Carthay Circle Theater's door, in the courtyard, during the opening and run of the film in May 1927. It can be seen in the bottom right hand corner of the vintage photo. This now demolished (1969) picture palace hosted the world premieres of Disney's SNOW WHITE, MGM's THE GOOD EARTH and Selznick's GONE WITH THE WIND where other statues were erected and displayed on the lawn with actual props from the films. She is 18" tall on a 9" nearly square base.
