An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Lobby Card (Learn More) The Serpent, the 1917 Raoul Walsh silent Russia romantic revenge melodrama (a wild story of a Russian peasant girl who is taken by a Grand Duke, and when he abandons her, she gets revenge not only on him, but also on his entire family!) starring Theda Bara, James A. Marcus, Lillian Hathaway, Charles Craig, and Carl Harbaugh. Note that this movie was too outrageous for the censors at the time, and they forced director Raoul Walsh to add a ridiculous "it was all a dream" ending! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a glass slide from this movie, and NO other movie paper, until we received this still! Also 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.
