An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Forbidden Cargo, the 1925 Tom Buckingham silent Prohibition era romantic crime melodrama (based on the story by Fred Myton; about a woman who runs an alcohol smuggling operation, running rum from the Bahamas to the U.S. via boat; she does so because her father was discharged from the Navy based on false charges; a government agent assigned to stop her and her evil first mate ends up breaking up the operation, but he falls in love with her, and is able to get her and her father cleared!) starring Evelyn Brent, Robert Ellis, Boris Karloff, and Jack Kenny. Note that the villainous first mate, "Pietro Castillano", is played by Boris Karloff, in one of his early major roles! Note that this is one of Karloff's early roles, and movie paper from it is virtually nonexistent. 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 first release movie paper from this early Boris Karloff movie is incredibly rare! We have never auctioned even one item from the movie until we received this great lobby card, which shows Karloff leering at Evelyn Brent! Also note that there is a stamp on the back that reads "FROM THE COLLECTION OF Michael R. Hawks", who most would consider the premier lobby card collector and expert in the world (and he is still an active collector, looking for the last few items he needs!). 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 to fine. There are two faint creases and a few extremely faint smudges in parts of the blank borders. Otherwise, the card is in really 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
