Make 'em laugh And roar out load But watch me waving In the crowd.'"; "Highbrow Student and Sap Athlete"; about a bookworm college student whose girlfriend says she will dump him if he doesn't become an athlete, so he has to find a sport he can succeed in) starring Buster Keaton, Anne Cornwall, Flora Bramley, Harold Goodwin, and Snitz Edwards. Note that there is a great irony in the plot of this movie, which is that Buster Keaton was playing a young man hopeless at sports, when he was actually extremely coordinated and athletic, so he had difficulty pretending not to be!

We have only previously auctioned a half-sheet, two scene lobby cards, and some stills from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this lobby card, which has a different image than the ones we previously auctioned! We are also currently auctioning a title card in a separate auction. 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. Note that this lobby card is in really wonderful 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
