Wellman silent/talking crime escape railroad train romantic adventure melodrama (based on the story by Jim Tully; in a significant portion of the movie, Brooks is disguised as a boy!) starring Wallace Beery, Richard Arlen, Louise Brooks (referred to only as "The Girl"), Blue Washington, Kewpie Morgan, Andy Clark, and Mike Donlin. Note that most film buffs consider this to be Louise Brooks' finest American movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a two-color lobby card for this movie. There were full-color cards that are surely from the first release. We believe that this is an early re-release, from the late 1920s or early 1930s. We have seen other Paramount cards like this and in some of those, one of the stars' billing increased to reflect their greater fame, which guarantees they are re-releases. In this case, Wallace Beery was the star of the movie in 1928, so his top billing on this card does not prove anything, but since all the other cards like this have been re-releases, we think it is a certainty that this one is as well. 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. Condition: very good. There is a diagonal crease at lower left. Otherwise, the card is in 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
