Auction History Result 6j062 BLACK LIGHTNING LC '24 great image of Thunder The Marvel Dog on rocks, but no Clara Bow! Date Sold 4/19/2016 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) Black Lightning, the 1924 James P. Hogan silent canine German Shepherd dog romantic love triangle backwoods melodrama (about a wounded World War I veteran who brings home the war dog who saved his life in France, and he goes to the mountains to recover, where he meets a pretty young mountain girl, who is menaced by local toughs, but the vet and his dog rescue her) starring Clara Bow (three years before she would become the "It Girl"), Harold Austin, Eddie Phillips, Joe Butterworth, and Thunder ("The Marvel Dog"). Note that Clara Bow has an important role in this movie, but the only lobby card we have ever seen only bills Thunder the Marvel Dog, so we don't know how, if at all, she was billed on the posters. Also note that Thunder the Dog first appeared in this movie and appeared in five more movies over the next three years! If anyone knows more about any of this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that Clara Bow was the most famous "flapper girl" of the mid to late 1920s (she became known as "The It Girl" after the character she played based on the popular novel by Elinor Glyn). She had a major role in Wings, and was Paramount's biggest star at that time. But she had a notorious private life and seemingly "settled down" when she married cowboy star Rex Bell in 1931 (she had two children and she retired from movies), but sadly in 1949 she went into a mental institution after a failed suicide attempt (she had had psychiatric issues for quite some time) and she was released but never returned to her family, and lived alone until her death in 1965.

Important Added Info: 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 was hand colored with some blue paint, and it ran under the title and into the border below, and there are spots of blue paint in the sky background area. Otherwise, the card is in nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
