Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. Note that director Edward Laemmle has been largely forgotten by film history, but he has a VERY interesting biography! He is the nephew of Carl Laemmle, who persuaded him to leave his electrical engineering career in 1915 and join him at his recently opened Universal Studios. He started as an assistant director, mainly under John Ford. In 1917, he went to New Guinea to produce a movie about the natives there, and was shipwrecked, and spent two years among the Kia Kia cannibals! This adventure was re-created in the movie "Shipwrecked Among Cannibals", which became the first million dollar movie for Universal Studios. Edward Laemmle went on to direct roughly 50 movies, and had many famous assistants, including William Wyler! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a very rare group of lobby cards. We first auctioned them 21 years ago, and they were reconsigned to us in 2020 (when they sold for $191) and now they have been reconsigned to us for this auction, so they are still the only examples of these four cards we have ever auctioned! We have only auctioned one other scene card (19 years ago) and the title card (and one 8x10 still) but no other movie paper for it whatsoever! Condition: good to very good. Two of the cards have been folded down the middle (see our images - one vertically and one diagonally) and the other two cards re in pretty nice condition. They have no tape whatsoever on the front or back, and they never have had any restoration of any kind. Learn More about condition grades
