Auction History Result 6h0025 INTOLERANCE herald 1918 D.W. Griffith anti-discrimination $2,000,000 spectacle, ultra rare! Date Sold 4/14/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Herald (measures 5 1/4" x 8" [13 x 20 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More) Intolerance, the 1916 D.W. Griffith silent anti-discrimination melodrama ("Love's Struggle throughout the Ages"; "D.W. Griffith's Colossal $2,000,000 Spectacle") starring Olga Grey, Mildred Harris, Elmo Lincoln, Robert Harron, Mae Marsh, Alfred Paget, and Constance Talmadge (billed as "Georgia Pearce"). The movie was intended to show discrimination throughout the history of man, and it has a framing device of Lillian Gish (as "a fairy girl with sunlit hair and a hand on the cradle of humanity") rocking that cradle, and it then goes to a modern story (in 1916!) and then a story of Christ in Judea in 27 A.D. and then a medieval French story in 1572 A.D., and finally, a Babylonian story in 539 B.C., with Gish and the rocking cradle in between each of these stories! Note that director D.W. Griffith made this movie after the huge backlash against him that occurred when he made "The Birth of a Nation" the previous year (because that movie presented a sympathetic view of the Ku Klux Klan).

We have only previously auctioned one of each style one-sheet (one 27 years ago for $18,400, and one 22 years ago for $18,667), and a few stills from the first U.S. release of this movie (and NO other first release U.S. movie paper of any kind) until we received this herald! Note that this is one of a remarkable collection of 31 heralds we are currently auctioning (in 31 separate auctions). They were collected over many decades, and include many wonderful horror ones, plus other very top titles. If one tried to duplicate this collection, it would likely take many years to do so! Condition: good to very good. There is a 1" tear in the top left of all pages, with a tiny tear in the top right and in the left of the bottom border. There are a few tiny dot stains around the edges. Otherwise, this incredibly rare herald is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
