Note that it was a pretty common plot device in silent movies to not only have people meet their exact double, but also to then go on to impersonate them. I wonder if this happens much in real life. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned two of these three scene cards! Note that in 1919 Paramount (and a few other studios) printed their lobby cards on very thin paper. This was a one-year experiment, and was discontinued afterwards. This is the only case where silent lobby cards are printed on thin paper. The lobby cards offered here are on thin paper, but they are definitely an original lobby card group. Condition: very good. The cards have a few minor edge defects but overall they are in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
