An Original Vintage Theatrical Set A Movie Lobby Card (11x14; LC; measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Human Wreckage, the 1923 John Griffith Wray & Dorothy Davenport silent courtroom legal lawyer drug ring crime thriller melodrama ("You'll never forget Mrs. Wallace Reid in 'Human Wreckage'"; a long diatribe against drug usage, many examples of people's lives being ruined by drugs, and the movie ends with Dorothy Davenport addressing the audience and asking for THEIR help in ending the use of illegal narcotics everywhere) starring Dorothy Davenport (billed as "Mrs. Wallace Reid"), James Kirkwood, Bessie Love, Robert McKim, George Hackathorne, Claire McDowell, Victory Bateman, Harry Northrup, Eric Mayne, Otto Hoffman, Lucille Rickson, and "all star cast". This movie is very notable for having been produced, partially written, and perhaps partially directed by Dorothy Davenport. Note that this movie was given a truly massive release (apparently, the producers thought that audiences everywhere would flock to a movie on such a sordid subject), and I have seen the pressbook, and every poster has a wonderful completely different image from all the rest, and there were two completely different sets of lobby cards created, one a regular looking one, and the other printed on a metallic gold stock, which was labeled "SET A" in the bottom right corner. Also, 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. Condition: good. There is a triangular area of paper loss near the center of the top border. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back of the card! Learn More about condition grades
