Auction History Result 6r0971 UNEASY THREE 6 LCs 1925 great images from Charley Chase & Leo McCarey Hal Roach short! Date Sold 11/26/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 6 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Uneasy Three, the 1925 Leo McCarey crime comedy short ("The Uneasy Three - amateur crooks about to pull off their first job."; written and produced by Hal Roach; a spoof of Lon Chaney's silent version of "The Unholy 3", about a dimwitted trio of thieves who impersonate musicians to play at society events, so they can steal jewels from the attendees) starring Charley Chase (primarily remembered as a great silent comedian who appeared in 276 movies, most of them comedy shorts, Chase also directed 140 comedy shorts), Katherine Grant, Bull Montana, Fred Kelsey, and Olive Borden. Note that at this time Hal Roach was producing a huge volume of comedy shorts, and he would normally create a one-sheet and three-sheet for each individual short, but would also create a stock poster showing a stone litho image of members of a movie audience laughing, above the tagline that read "Hal Roach presents", with a large blank space below that, and "Pathecomedy" printed below that. Then these stock posters would be overprinted with the names of specific Hal Roach shorts, and frugal theater owners could order these stock posters at a discount to the price of the individual poster for that short. This particular stock one-sheet was overprinted with the title and credit for "Uneasy Three" (and we don't know if there ever was an individual one-sheet produced for The Uneasy Three). 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 one-sheet, a few lobby cards and one still from this title and NO other movie paper from it, until we were consigned this group of lobby cards (and the last time we auctioned a group of lobby cards from this movie was in 2001!). Condition: very good. The card with the harp at right has a tear at lower right and the one with Chase doing the "disappearing act" has tiny bits of paper loss at upper left and at left (in the man's shirt at far left). One has tiny pencil writing at upper right in the blank border, but other than a few smudges around the edges, the cards are in pretty nice condition and they have no tape whatsoever on the front or back, and they never have had any restoration of any kind!
