Auction History Result 1k484 ONLY 38 6 LCs 1923 May McAvoy, young widow Lois Wilson finds romance, which shocks her kids! Date Sold 10/19/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 6 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Only 38, the 1923 William C. de Mille silent romantic family relationship comedy ("From the play by A.E. Thomas"; "Suggested by a story by Walter Prichard Eaton"; about a woman who is widowed, and her 20 year-old male and female twin children are horrified when she has a makeover and gets a boyfriend, and they manage to break them up, but then they realize they are being selfish and their mother deserves happiness) starring May McAvoy, Lois Wilson, Elliott Dexter, George Fawcett, and Robert Agnew. Note that even though Lois Wilson was clearly the central character of the movie, May McAvoy was a bigger star, and she received top billing. Also, Paramount was not thrilled about the idea of making a movie about middle-aged romance, so they cheated quite a bit and had the mother (who was supposed to be 38) played by pretty Lois Wilson, who was only 28 when the movie was made, and her "20 year-old" twins were played by actors who were 24, so the mother was only 4 years older than her children! Finally, 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. Condition: good to very good. Each has pinholes around the edges and/or light scuff marks and smudges, typical of vintage lobby cards that were likely displayed at a theater. They are otherwise in pretty nice condition especially given their age! Learn More about condition grades
