Auction History Result 3r1084 DAUGHTERS OF PLEASURE LC 1924 young Clara Bow between her mother & father, who is cheating! Date Sold 3/5/2020 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) Daughters of Pleasure, the 1924 William Beaudine silent romantic melodrama (based on the novel by Caleb Proctor; about a man who comes into wealth, and he has a wife and grown daughter, and he has an affair with a pretty young Frenchwoman, played by Clara Bow, and she turns out to be a friend of his daughter's, but later, the husband begs forgiveness from his wife and she forgives him) starring Marie Prevost, Monte Blue, Clara Bow (very early in her career, in one of her first substantial roles, three years before she became the "It Girl"), Edythe Chapman, and Wilfred Lucas. Note that this film is partially "lost" (only 4 of the 6 reels survive). Also 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 Clara Bow was not very well known at this time, and she is not prominent in the advertising for this movie, but this lobby card has a great image of her in the center, between her separating parents! Also 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 had pinholes in the corners. It had paper loss in the middle right of the background area, extending into the bottom of the man's coat. It had a few bits of surface paper loss scattered across the middle of the image. Otherwise, the card was in pretty nice condition. Someone performed nice restoration to the above defects (leaving alone the pinholes in the corners), and without backing the card, and the card displays well (see our images).
