An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Lobby Card (Learn More) The Candy Kid, the 1917 Arvid E. Gillstrom silent comedy short starring Billy West (the best-known and most successful imitator of Charlie Chaplin's "Tramp" character), Ethel Cassity, Oliver Hardy (billed as "Babe Hardy"), Leo White, and Leatrice Joy. Note that this movie was made during the time when Hardy, who had been a top silent star in the mid 1910s, saw his career winding down, but of course, he would make a triumphant return in the mid 1920s when he paired with young comic Stan Laurel! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that it is unfortunate that this scene contains eight people, but none of them are Oliver Hardy! One would wonder if there were even more than eight people in the cast, but obviously, there were at least nine! 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.
