An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Get Your Man, the 1927 Dorothy Arzner silent Paris France romantic love triangle comedy ("WHEN - Clara sets out to win her man -- there's no stoppin' her"; "He was engaged to another girl for 17 years - but Clara made him forget it in two hours"; "From a play by Louis Verneuil"; about a beautiful young American girl who goes to Paris and meets a nobleman who is about to be married, and she must find a way to get the marriage called off so she can "get her man") starring Clara Bow, Charles 'Buddy' Rogers, Josef Swickard, Josephine Dunn, Harvey Clark, and Frances Raymond. Like most of director Arzner's movies, this one dealt with a very independent woman who "goes her own way" in life! Also note that Dorothy Arzner was a director from the 1920s to the 1940s, and she was the only woman director during the "Golden Age" of Hollywood ('20s to '40s) and she was the first woman to join the Directors Guild of America. Arzner was a lesbian at a time when almost no females openly were, and she was surprisingly open about it, often dressing in "men's clothes" and wearing her hair short. She made many "women's movies" and movies with a "feminist" theme. After making "First Comes Courage" in 1943, she made training films for the U.S. Army WACs, and she never returned to making Hollywood movies, becoming a film teacher of directing and screenwriting, teaching at UCLA until her passing in 1979. Note that Clara Bow was the most famous "flapper girl" of the mid to late 1920s (she became known as "The It Girl" after the character she played based on the popular novel by Elinor Glyn). She had a major role in Wings, and was Paramount's biggest star at that time. But she had a notorious private life and seemingly "settled down" when she married cowboy star Rex Bell in 1931 (she had two children and she retired from movies), but sadly in 1949 she went into a mental institution after a failed suicide attempt (she had had psychiatric issues for quite some time) and she was released but never returned to her family, and lived alone until her death in 1965.

Important Added Info: Note that I have had several cards from this set over the years, and all of them had fuzzy printing within the image area, as this one does! Condition: good to very good. There are thumb tack holes in the corners and some faint stains around the edges. The top left and bottom right corners were folded back, and someone put a piece of tape on the back of the top left corner. There are some faint scuffs scattered throughout the card.
