An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Trespasser, the 1929 Edmund Goulding romantic unwed mother musical melodrama (produced by Joseph P. Kennedy; about a secretary to a successful older lawyer, who marries a wealthy young man, and his family has the marriage annulled, but she is pregnant and her employer takes pity on her and provides financial support, which causes gossip that she is a "kept woman") starring Gloria Swanson (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; "In the peak role of her career"; "Her first all talking picture"), Robert Ames, Purnell Pratt, Henry B. Walthall, Wally Albright, William Holden (no, not THAT William Holden, but another actor of the same name who made 20 movies between 1920 and 1931, and he died the next year, which was 7 years before the more famous William Holden made his first movie!), and Blanche Friderici. Note that producer Joseph P. Kennedy was of course the father of Joe, John, Bobby, and Teddy Kennedy, and had a well publicized love affair with Gloria Swanson for many years (which is especially ironic in light of the fact that this movie has Swanson being mistaken for the mistress of an older successful man!). Finally, note that this was Gloria Swanson's first talking picture after many years of success in silent films, and after the disaster of filming the unfinished "Queen Kelly" for Erich von Stroheim, and Swanson badly needed a success. Reviewers say that not only was she excellent in this role, but she proved that she had a fine singing voice as well! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good to fine. There are a few faint brown stains in the middle of the left border. Otherwise, the card is in really 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
