Date Sold 4/15/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 5 Undated (probably 1920s) Re-Release Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Old Folks at Home, the 1916 Chester Whitey silent romantic political crime murder melodrama ("A Rupert Hughes Story"; about a small town man who is elected state senator, and who moves to the capital with his wife and son, and his son forgets about his hometown sweetheart and falls in with bad men, and kills a man, but at his trial, his mother pleads for mercy for him, and he is found not guilty!) starring Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree (who is best remembered for starring in adaptations of William Shakespeare movies, but who appeared in this non-costume melodrama), Josephine Crowell, Elmer Clifton, Mildred Harris, and Lucille Young. Note that when this movie was made in 1916, Mildred Harris was 14 and had a minor role in this movie as the hometown sweetheart of the star's son. But two years later, she married Charlie Chaplin, and the movie was re-released at some point after that (perhaps in the very late 1910s, but also perhaps in the very early 1920s), and she was actually incredibly deceptively given top billing in the movie as "Mildred Harris Chaplin", to capitalize on her Charlie Chaplin connection, over that of the distinguished Shakespearean actor, Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree (and she only had a minor part)!
