Date Sold 9/4/2018Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Gorilla, the 1927 Alfred Santell silent monster murder horror thriller ("Ah!"; "Don't worry about the Gorilla - Mulligan and Garrity are on the job!"; loosely based on the play by Ralph Spence, one of the earliest "haunted house" type plays; by the time it was made into a movie, its plot had become so cliched that this movie plays it for laughs, and was apparently quite funny, and quite successful!) starring Charles Murray (billed as "Charley Murray"; as Garrity), Fred Kelsey (as Mulligan), Alice Day, Tully Marshall, Claude Gillingwater, Walter Pidgeon, Brooks Benedict, Syd Crossley, and John Kolb (uncredited, as the man in the gorilla suit). Note that Walter Pidgeon plays a handsome young man in this movie who is not what he seems, and that is an important plot twist. Oddly, three years later, First National remade this movie, and they significantly changed plot elements. The lead lady and the cast also changed, EXCEPT for Walter Pidgeon, but oddly, his character was quite a bit changed! 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 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. There is tiny paper loss in the top right blank corner, a pinhole in each corner, and a few tiny stains around the edges. Otherwise, the card is in nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
