Original Vintage Lobby Card (Measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) The King's Vacation, the 1933 John G. Adolfi English royal melodrama ("Thirty years on the same throne - and then the King got sore! Kings must have their fun - but they mustn't brag about it!"; "A role as human as an emperor in his nightshirt!"; "Technocracy has its points ...Democracy is all right in its place ...But it takes a King to go places and do things! Here's grand manner entertainment! ...Fit for a King! ...the crowning achievement of George Arliss' distinguished career-"; about a king and the problems he must face) starring George Arliss (in the title role as King Phillip), Marjorie Gateson, Dudley Digges, Patricia Ellis, Florence Arliss, and Dick Powell (in an early role as a mechanic!). Note that two years earlier, Otto Soglow (who signed all his work "O. Soglow") had started the very successful King Features newspaper cartoon strip called "The Little King", which featured as diminutive king who never spoke. The window card poster for this movie has two panels of O. Soglow cartoon art on it, and yet it does not appear that this movie was directly inspired by the cartoon strip, nor that they were connected in any way that we can find. If anyone knows more about this movie, and what its connection to the comic strip "The Little King" was, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good to fine. There are tack holes in the corners and smudges in the blank areas. Learn More about condition grades
