An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]) (Learn More) City Lights, the classic 1931 Charlie Chaplin silent romantic comedy melodrama (written and directed by Charles Chaplin; Chaplin is a Tramp who befriends a blind flower seller, and he loves her, but is afraid she can't return his love; the movie includes a memorable boxing scene, and a wonderful final scene where the girl is cured of her blindness) starring Charles Chaplin, Virginia Cherrill, Florence Lee, Harry Myers, Al Ernest Garcia, and Hank Mann. Note that Charlie Chaplin stood alone against the coming of sound to movies, and he made this movie as a silent movie, although it had a soundtrack which included the song "Smile", which Chaplin himself wrote. He would release another silent movie, "Modern Times", in 1936, and then finally agreed to make sound pictures! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card has been trimmed and it now measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. 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: fair. The card has been heavily trimmed to just 8" x 10 1/4" (some theater used it in place of a still). Obviously, a talented restorer could replace the missing area, or the card could be displayed as it is, but bear this significant defect in mind before bidding on this card.
