Auction History Result 6g918 VARSITY LC '28 guy in cowboy hat stares at drunk Charles Buddy Rogers about to pass out! Date Sold 4/2/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 10 3/4" x 13 1/2" [27 x 34 cm]) (Learn More) Varsity, the 1928 Frank Tuttle college romantic family relationship comedy ("Everybody's cheering"; about an alcoholic janitor at Princeton University, and he helps an orphan get into the college, and he acts as his "guardian angel"; in his second year, the young man gets drunk after a fight with his girlfriend and loses the class' money gambling, but the janitor takes the blame, and helps him all the way until he graduates, and he marries his girlfriend, and he never does learn that the old alcoholic who helped him so much was actually his father!) starring Charles 'Buddy' Rogers, Mary Brian, Chester Conklin, Phillips Holmes, and Robert Ellis. Note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. Note that Phillips Holmes had made an impression in some movies in the late 1920s. In 1931, he would get the lead in the first version of "An American Tragedy", which made it seem like he would become a major star, but that didn't materialize. He had a major affair with Libby Holman, but that was certainly complicated, and when they broke up, she immediately married his brother! Oddly, years later, Holman would have another very complicated affair with Montgomery Clift, who played the same part in the remake of "An American Tragedy", re-titled "A Place in the Sun". Sadly, Holmes died in a plane crash in 1942. I am very surprised no one has made a movie about his life, or a joint movie about him and Libby Holman. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
