Auction History Result 3z294 HEART OF SALOME TC '27 Alma Rubens had the soul of a siren & the face of a saint, Pidgeon Date Sold 12/23/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Heart of Salome, the 1927 Victor Schertzinger silent romantic kidnapping crime melodrama ("She had the soul of a siren and the face of a saint"; "Story by Allen Raymond"; an attempt to bring the Biblical story of Salome into the present day, with a woman who is betrayed by her lover finding a gangster to kidnap him and behead him, but at the last moment, she realizes she still loves him and she spares his life) starring Alma Rubens, Walter Pidgeon, Holmes Herbert, Barry Norton, and Robert Agnew. Note that Walter Pidgeon was born in 1897, and started making silent movies in the mid 1920s, but he had limited success. He had a wonderful speaking voice, but that did not lead to stardom in early sound movies. Finally, in 1937, at the age of 40, MGM put him under contract, but still limited him to supporting roles. His "big break" finally came in 1941 with "How Green Was My Valley", and he became one of MGM's top stars of the early 1940s (no doubt helped by so many other male stars being away at war). He stayed with MGM for the remainder of his career. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good. The card had tiny pinholes in each corner and some smudges and tiny stains in the borders. A talented restorer performed slight restoration to the borders without backing the card, and it looks fantastic, and it has only had slight restoration. Learn More about condition grades
