Auction History Result 6b0569 WE'RE IN THE NAVY NOW LC 1926 Raymond Hatton coaches Wallace Beery in the boxing ring, rare! Date Sold 3/12/2024 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) We're In the Navy Now, the 1926 A. Edward Sutherland silent Naval military sailor boxing comedy ("Original story by Monty Brice") starring Wallace Beery, Raymond Hatton, Chester Conklin, Tom Kennedy, and Donald Keith. Note that Tom Kennedy was NOT the older brother of comic actor Edgar Kennedy, as is often mistakenly noted (and we are guilty of having passed on that falsehood innocently!). Tom was a former amateur boxing champion, who turned to acting in the middle 1910s, primarily playing large oafish characters. He often acted with Edgar Kennedy (which is likely why they were mistakenly identified as brothers), and he appeared in a series of 11 Columbia two-reel comedies alongside Monty Collins in the middle 1930s, and he had a major role in the "Torchy Blaine" detective movies. He stayed active in movies all the way through the 1960s! Also note that in 1926, Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton appeared in "Behind the Front", and the public loved the comic antics of this very large man with this very small man, and they went on to make a series of similar movies, including this one. They were so popular that there was also an imitation series of similar movies starring Karl Dane and George K. Arthur. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving complete copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
