Murray. Note that Davey Lee had followed his older brother Frankie Lee into acting, and he had massive success in 1928 (when he was not yet 4 years old) playing opposite Al Jolson in The Singing Fool. His success was so great that he was given the lead in this movie, without Jolson! Later that year, he reunited with Jolson in Say It With Songs, and then the following year, his mother insisted he retire at the age of 6, so that he could "have a normal life", and he apparently did, because he lived until 2008! 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 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!). Condition: very good to fine. Note that this lobby card is in excellent condition and is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
