Auction History Result 5b1580 TOM SAWYER 4 8x10 LCs 1917 Jack Pickford in title role, Clara Horton as Becky Thatcher, rare! Date Sold 9/26/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 4 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Lobby Cards (Learn More) Tom Sawyer, the 1917 William Desmond Taylor silent adventure comedy ("By arrangement with Mark Twain"; "Scenario by Julia Crawford Ivers") starring Jack Pickford (in the title role as Tom Sawyer), George Hackathorne, Alice Marvin, Edythe Chapman, Robert Gordon (as Huckleberry Finn), and Alice Horton (as Becky Thatcher). Note that this is the second film adaptation for this Mark Twain classic (although there is not much, if any, information about the alleged first adaptation from 1907) and movie paper from this title is extremely scarce. If anyone has more information about the alleged 1907 version (if it exists), please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that, in the early days of movie making, when lobby cards were first made (around 1915), studios would issue sets of the cards in two sizes; the regular 11" x 14" size, and a smaller 8" x 10" size. The cards were identical in every way except for the different size. This practice continued through the early 1920s, at which point the studios abandoned the smaller lobby cards, likely because theaters either ordered 11" x 14" lobby cards or 8" x 10" stills, and did not order enough of the 8" x 10" lobby cards to justify them continuing to make them. ANY movie paper items from this movie are incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned three lobby cards and a handful of 8x10 lobby cards from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind). We have never before auctioned these particular cards (which includes the "title card"!). Condition: very good. The cards have minor edge defects and the "title card" has some discoloration at right. They are otherwise in pretty nice condition, especially given their age! Learn More about condition grades
