Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have never previously auctioned ANY movie paper items from this movie until we received this 8x10 lobby card! 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: good to very good. There is a pinhole in each corner, with some faint smudges and stains around the edges. There is a tear in the lower right border that once had tape on the back.
