Auction History Result 7m743 SOFT BOILED 4 LCs '23 Tom Mix & Tony the Wonder Horse in silent western! Date Sold 10/1/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 4 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Soft Boiled, the 1923 John G. Blystone silent family relationship melodrama ("A Special Attraction"; "Surprised, beautiful girls and thrills"; "Story by Edward Moran"; a wacky story about a young cowboy whose uncle is rich, but he threatens to disinherit his nephew because of his hot temper, so he tells him that he has to not lose his temper for 30 days, thinking he can't do it, but he does make it, but the moment the 30 days are up, he takes revenge on everyone who insulted him during those 30 days!) starring Tom Mix, Tony (billed as "'Tony' the Wonder Horse"), Joseph W. Girard, Billie Dove, Lee Shumway, and Tom Wilson. Note that this is an unusual movie for Tom Mix, because it really isn't much of a cowboy movie at all! We have seen lobby cards where he is shown in a store, yet somehow he has enough scenes in a cowboy outfit to make it some kind of "cowboy" movie, and Tony his horse is there too! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that these are hand-colored cards. In the days of silent movies prior to the invention of good quality full-color printing, studios would have lobby cards printed in black and white and then amazingly would hire women to hand-color the cards one at a time (apparently labor was very cheap at the time)! So, each card is colored slightly differently, and the coloring is never a perfect match. Condition: poor. The top half of the bottom card pictured is missing. There is significant damage from exposure moisture to each card as can be seen in our super-sized image. Please do NOT bid on these lobby cards unless you can accept their defects or are willing to have them restored. Learn More about condition grades
