Auction History Result 3b0605 TEN COMMANDMENTS LC 1923 Roberts as Moses parting the Red Sea, Cecil B. DeMille, very rare! Date Sold 10/25/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments, the classic 1923 Cecil B. DeMille silent religious Biblical epic ("The mightiest dramatic spectacle of all the ages"; "Story by Jeanie MacPherson") starring Theodore Roberts (as Moses), Rod La Rocque, Leatrice Joy, Nita Naldi, Charles De Roche (as Rameses), Estelle Taylor, Julia Faye, Terrence Moore, and Richard Dix. Note that in this, Cecil B. DeMille's first version of this movie, the movie is essentially split into two parts, one that is "modern" (set in 1923), and the other with the Biblical portion. Of course, DeMille remade the movie in 1959 with Charlton Heston in the lead role, and it was solely the Biblical portion that he used when he re-made the movie.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this lobby card, and the last one was 14 years ago, when it sold for $493. We have now been reconsigned that card, so it is still only one of two examples we have ever auctioned! 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 to very good. The card had stains and smudges around the edges and a few in the image background. It had tack holes in the corners. Someone used the back of the card to advertise another movie by painting a title in black watercolor paint, but it did not affect the front. A restorer did a very nice job solely lightly bleaching the card. This greatly reduced the stains and smudges on the front of the card, and also the watercolor paint on the back. It is all still visible, but far less noticeable. Of course, one could perform further restoration, but since most of the defects are in the blank borders, we would think most collectors would be happy to display this great and extremely rare card as it is!
