Date Sold 9/26/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 4 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Lobby Cards (Learn More) Through the Back Door, the 1921 Jack Pickford & Alfred E. Green silent poor-little-rich-girl family relationship comedy melodrama (about a rich girl who is sent to live with her nurse when her mother re-marries, and she grows up poor, and she returns to her mother, but feels so out of place that she gets a job as a maid instead!) starring Mary Pickford, Gertrude Astor, Wilfred Lucas, Helen Raymond, and C. Norman Hammond. Note that Mary Pickford's brother is billed as co-director, but he was certainly hired because of his sister, and one wonders how much "directing" he did!

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. Condition: good. Each has light staining (see our images). Each has a few edge defects including paper loss or a tear at upper center (that tear shown in the card pictured at lower left is repaired with tape from the back). Learn More about condition grades
