Auction History Result 5s0185 SAUCY MADELINE TC 1918 Ben Turpin, Mack Sennett comedy short, a true title card, ultra rare! Date Sold 9/6/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Saucy Madeline, the 1918 F. Richard Jones silent slapstick comedy short (produced by Mack Sennett; we don't know the plot of the movie, but part of it takes place in a bowling alley, and part of it in a bar!) starring Ben Turpin, Heinie Conklin (billed as "Charlie Lynn"), Polly Moran, Wayland Trask, and F. Richard Jones. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that Heinie Conklin was born Charles John Conklin, but was of German background and was nicknamed "Heinie". This was not a problem until the U.S. entered World War I at the end of 1917, and anti-German sentiment ran high in the U.S., and during the time, Heinie Conklin was billed as "Charlie Lynn" or "Charles Lynn". Also note that Heinie Conklin was in movies at the same time as Chester Conklin, but they weren't related. Heinie Conklin went on to appear in many 1920s comedies and some "A" movies, including "All Quiet on the Western Front". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned even a single movie paper item from this movie until we received this lobby card, and we are also currently auctioning a group of 4 lobby cards in a separate auction! 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.Note that in the earliest days of lobby cards (mostly between 1915 and 1919), lobby sets were usually NINE cards. There were eight scene cards, and an additional "title card", that was REALLY a title card, because it normally just had text on it with the title of the movie and the credits, but no image. Some time at the end of the 1910s, studios realized they could print lobby cards on two half-sheet-sized sheets and then trim them into eight lobby cards, which saved a lot of money, and at that time they eliminated the title card and changed one of the scene cards into a modern day title card (with both image and credits), and the eight card lobby card has remained the standard to the present day. The title card offered here is one of those mid 1910s true title cards! Condition: good to very good. There are pinholes and smudges around the edges, with creases and a small tear in the left of the top border. Note that this card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
