Auction History Result 2b1679 OH DOCTOR 8x10 LC 1917 Fatty Arbuckle romancing about to get whacked in head, ultra rare! Date Sold 5/10/2022 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) Oh Doctor!, the 1917 Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle silent romantic love triangle family relationship horse racing gambling jewel robbery comedy short starring Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle (in the title role as Dr. Fatty Holepoke), Buster Keaton (as Fatty's son, Junior Holepoke), Al St. John, Alice Mann, and Alice Lake. Note that this short is available for viewing on YouTube, and it packs a lot of plot into its 20 minutes! Fatty is a doctor who has been gambling away the family's money at the racetrack (he has a wife and a grown son, played by Buster Keaton). Meanwhile, a thieving woman and her male accomplice decide to rob Fatty's wife after the woman sees their house. She steals the wife's necklace and after many chases (including Fatty disguised as a policeman), everything works out okay. Buster Keaton's role is to constantly laugh at his father, and each time he is rewarded by being knocked down, which he does in a comical way. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a lobby card, a French one-panel (which sold for $2,724) from this movie, two different 8x10 lobby cards (one of which sold for $900), and NO other movie paper, until we received this third 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 are several tiny dot stains scattered in the image, including one in Arbuckle's eye, but they are mostly only noticeable when the card is tilted to the light. Otherwise, the card is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
