Auction History Result 9y1256 MICE & MEN 8x10 LC 1916 young Marguerite Clark molded into the perfect wife, ultra rare! Date Sold 10/26/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Lobby Card (Learn More) Mice and Men, the 1916 J. Searle Dawley silent romantic perfect wife melodrama (based on the play by Madeleine Lucette Ryley; borrowing heavily on the Greek myth of Pygmalion, about an older man who adopts a young girl from an orphanage, with the idea that he will mold her into the perfect wife, and when she grows up, he will marry her, and he succeeds partly, but she falls in love with a more suitable man, and the older man steps aside gracefully, happy that he partially succeeded) starring Marguerite Clark, Marshall Neilan, Charles Waldron, Clarence Handyside, and Maggie Fisher. Obviously, it is extremely unlikely that this plot will ever be used again, because in today's world, a story about an older man falling in love with a teen that he "adopts" is beyond inappropriate!

We have only previously auctioned two 8x10 lobby cards from this movie, and NO other movie paper, until we received this one, which is one of the two previous ones we sold, so it is still only one of two items from this movie we have ever auctioned! 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.
