An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More)

While the City Sleeps, the 1928 Jack Conway silent gangster detective crime melodrama ("Story and scenario by A.P. Younger"; in a change of pace, Chaney is not "a crook", but rather he is a detective who is "an arch-foe of crooks") starring Lon Chaney Sr. ("His Best Underworld Film!"; "Lon Chaney in a picture of 1001 thrills"), Anita Page, Carroll Nye, Wheeler Oakman, and Mae Busch

Important Added Info: Note that posters and lobby cards from this movie are incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a different scene card (which did not show Chaney), and two window cards, but NO other posters or lobby cards from this movie, until we received this second lobby card, which has a great close image of Lon Chaney Sr.! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has.

Condition: good. The entire card has darkened somewhat. It has tack holes, smudges, and stains and faint smudges around the edges. There are a few faint horizontal scuffs scattered in the left half of the image. This is the sort of card that responds really well to professional restoration. It is likely that much or all of the smudges and stains can be removed through chemical means, and of course, most of the pinholes are in the blank borders, and after proper restoration, the card will display well. Please look closely at our images of the front and back of this card before bidding. Note that this card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back!
