An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Empty Hands, the 1924 Victor Fleming silent Canada romantic melodrama ("From the novel by Arthur Stringer"; about a wild daughter of a rich man who gets in trouble and her father takes her on a hunting trip in the Canadian Northwest; she goes fishing and her canoe capsizes, and her father's engineer rescues her, but they are lost together, and although they detest each other initially, one thing leads to another, and by the time they are rescued, they are madly in love) starring Jack Holt, Norma Shearer (she was 22!), Charles Clary, Hazel Keener, and Gertrude Olmstead. We are not sure what the 'empty hands' of the title refers to, but we have seen a glass slide which is just a close up of a man's hands, so surely it refers to some key plot point. If anyone knows, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that the vast majority of collectors would assume that this is a title card, but it is not! In the mid to late 1920s, Paramount made many sets of lobby cards where the seven scene cards all LOOK like title cards, but the actual title card is different from the seven scene cards (not too long after this, Paramount abandoned title cards altogether for the most part for the next forty-odd years, instead using a posed portrait of the stars in place of a title card). This scene card is from one of those sets where the scene cards are commonly mistaken for title cards. Please do not bid on it thinking it is a title card, as it is a scene card! Condition: very good to fine. Note that this lobby card is in excellent condition and is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back of the card!
