Auction History Result 8z033 TRAMP LC R1940 Charlie Chaplin in classic outfit holding out money to uninterested Purviance! Date Sold 8/17/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1940 Re-Release Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 9 3/4" x 12 3/4" [25 x 32 cm]) (Learn More) The Tramp, the 1915 Charles Chaplin silent comedy short starring Charlie Chaplin (Charles Chaplin; in the title role as The Tramp), Fred Goodwins, Edna Purviance, Paddy McGuire, Lloyd Bacon, Bud Kamison, and Ernest Van Pelt NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this classic Chaplin short was re-issued and it was "Conformed to Sound Speed" and had "Music and Sound Effects". RKO (through its Van Beuren subsidiary) had a similar series of Chaplin re-releases in 1932, and in 1939, a different company bought the rights to the Essanay Chaplins, and re-released a few of them with music and sound added as RKO had. In 1940 exactly, they changed their name to "King of Comedy Film Corp." and re-released ten of the Essanays, and this one was one of those ten 1940 re-releases. 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 9 3/4" x 12 3/4" [25 x 32 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: fair. All the blank borders were trimmed off. There is surface paper loss scattered across the bottom and the re-release company's information was blacked over at lower left, with stains showing to the front in the left half of the card (see our image of the back to see how much staining there is on that side). The card is in MUCH lesser condition. Learn More about condition grades
