An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Lobby Card (Learn More) Anne Nichols' Abie's Irish Rose, the 1928 Victor Fleming romantic newlyweds-of-different-religions-and-their-subsequent-difficulties melodrama ("Now! It's on the screen"; based on the classic Anne Nichols play about a Jewish man who marries an Irish girl) starring Jean Hersholt (as Solomon Levy), Charles 'Buddy' Rogers (in the title role as Abie Levy), Nancy Carroll (in the title role as Rosemary Murphy), J. Farrell MacDonald (as Patrick Murphy), Bernard Gorcey (as Isaac Cohen, which he had played in the Broadway stage version; much later famous as "Louie" in the "Bowery Boys" movies, starring his son Leo Gorcey!), Ida Kramer, Thelma Todd, and Camillus Pretal (as Rabbi Jacob Samuels). Note that Bernard Gorcey was star Leo Gorcey's father, and he played Louie, the owner of the Sweet Shop, where the boys frequently hung out, and Louie was often involved in slapstick gags, and many times Leo Gorcey would be tormenting or slapping his own father!

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. Condition: fair to good. There are faint stains scattered in the card (see our images). Learn More about condition grades
