Note that there was a wonderful sound remake of this classic silent movie in 1939, with Charles Laughton and Maureen O'Hara in the lead roles. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that there are two completely different sets of lobby cards for this classic movie. One is a 14 card set that is green sepiatone, and the other is an 8 card set that is full color (possibly hand-colored). All of the longtime collectors I have talked to are in agreement that the green sepia cards are from the very first 1923 release of this movie, and that the color cards date from a year or two later, after the movie became a massive worldwide hit (it stayed in first release for over three years, and was one of the greatest box office successes of silent movies!). I have seen several of the full color early re-release cards mistakenly sold as originals. The cards offered here are from the very first 1923 release! Condition: very good. The cards have tack holes in the corners and varying degrees of slight border wear. Someone wrote a number in pencil in the top right corner of each card (in the blank white area). Other than the above, the cards are in really nice condition and have had no restoration, and it is hard to believe they are 93 years old! Learn More about condition grades
