Auction History Result 8z019 MADAME MYSTERY LC 1926 Captain Oliver Hardy orders stewards out of Theda Bara's cabin! Date Sold 8/17/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 8 3/4" x 11 3/4" [22 x 30 cm]) (Learn More) Madame Mystery, the 1926 F. Richard Jones & Richard Wallace silent romantic slapstick comedy short (produced and written by Hal Roach) starring Theda Bara (in the title role as Madame Mysterieux), Oliver Hardy, James Finlayson, Tyler Brooke, and Fred Malatesta. Note that this was the last movie Theda Bara ever made! She had been the number one female star of the 1910s, the original "vamp", but by 1926, her career was essentially over and Hal Roach gave her parts in two short comedies (essentially parodying herself), but that did nothing to revive her career.

Important Added Info: Note that we have been consigned a collection of early lobby cards that all were heavily trimmed (some with just the borders trimmed, but others trimmed to 8" x 10"). They are all from very rare titles, and certainly, they could be restored (or displayed as they are). One would obviously prefer finding an untrimmed example of this card, but one might wait a VERY long time to find that untrimmed example, but bear in mind this significant defect before bidding on this card, which has been trimmed and it now measures 8 3/4" x 11 3/4" [22 x 30 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: good. Most of the grey borders surrounding the blank white borders were trimmed off. There are three areas of paper loss in the left border and someone put tape on the front and back of the largest of these. There are also creases in the right corners and a repaired 1" tear in the middle of the right border. Learn More about condition grades
