Auction History Result 3f083 COURAGEOUS COWARD set of 10 8x10 LCs '15 by Alexander Frank w/ Justina Wayne & Crauford Kent! Date Sold 11/23/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 10 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Lobby Card (Learn More) A Courageous Coward, the 1915 Alexander F. Frank silent family melodrama short starring Justina Wayne, and Crauford Kent (billed as "Craufurd Kent"). Note that the only thing we have ever seen on this movie is a set of 10 8x10 lobby cards. They have the correct distributor name (Kriterion Service) and the correct studio name (Trump). However, this movie was made in February of 1915, and that predates any lobby cards we know of, so it is possible they are from an unmarked re-release of this movie, likely within the next two years. In any event, they are a really cool artifact of the very beginning of movies and movie posters. If anyone knows more about this short or these lobby cards, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Important Added Info: Note that, in the early days of movie making, when lobby cards were first made (around 1915), studios would issue sets of the cards in two sizes; the regular 11" x 14" size, and a smaller 8" x 10" size. The cards were identical in every way except for the different size. This practice continued through the early 1920s, at which point the studios abandoned the smaller lobby cards, likely because theaters either ordered 11" x 14" lobby cards or 8" x 10" stills, and did not order enough of the 8" x 10" lobby cards to justify them continuing to make them.
UPDATED 11/17/2014: Note that a knowledgeable collector pointed out that these 8x10 lobby cards are from the 1915 film "A Courageous Coward" and NOT the 1919 film "The Courageous Coward" as we initially listed. We have updated the auction accordingly. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
