Auction History Result 7z058 SUNNYSIDE TC R20s the one and only Charlie Chaplin in his 3rd million dollar comedy! Date Sold 5/15/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1920s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Sunnyside, the 1919 Charles Chaplin multiple reel silent comedy short ("His Third Million Dollar Comedy"; "I'll never leave my dear old farm") starring Charlie Chaplin (Charles Chaplin), Edna Purviance, Tom Wilson (a large white man who specialized in playing black roles in the early silent days when studios were reluctant to hire African Americans; he would put burnt cork on his face and skin!; he appeared in The Kid, but not in a black role), Tom Terriss, Henry Bergman, Loyal Underwood, and Tom Wood (nicknamed "Fatty") NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that 99% of collectors would assume this lobby card is from the first release of this classic movie. But in 1919 when this movie was made, First National printed "thin paper" lobby cards, and the original cards from this movie are on thin paper (and there are 9 cards in the set). There is also an 8 card set on heavier paper that is surely from an early 1920s re-release. Both of the above sets say "First National" on them. To complicate matters even more, there is still a third kind of card, also on heavier paper, but these do not say "First National", and so we assume they are surely from a different early 1920s (probably 1923) re-release (Chaplin was INCREDIBLY popular at this time, and it would make total sense that there might be two re-releases within a few years). The card offered here is from the early re-release on typical heavier paper stock, and this is from the release WITH "First National" on the cards. Condition: good to very good. There are smudges in the background at left and there is some staining in the borders at upper and lower left. The card is otherwise in very 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
