An Undated (probably 1920s) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card #3 (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Sunnyside, the 1919 Charles Chaplin multiple reel silent comedy short ("His Third Million Dollar Comedy"; "I'll never leave my dear old farm") starring Charlie Chaplin (Charles Chaplin), Edna Purviance, Tom Wilson (a large white man who specialized in playing black roles in the early silent days when studios were reluctant to hire African Americans; he would put burnt cork on his face and skin!; he appeared in The Kid, but not in a black role), Tom Terriss, Henry Bergman, Loyal Underwood, and Tom Wood (nicknamed "Fatty") NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that 99% of collectors would assume this lobby card is from the first release of this classic movie. But in 1919 when this movie was made, First National printed "thin paper" lobby cards, and the original cards from this movie are on thin paper (and there are 9 cards in the set). There is also an 8 card set on heavier paper that is surely from an early 1920s re-release. Both of the above sets say "First National" on them. To complicate matters even more, there is still a third kind of card, also on heavier paper, but these do not say "First National", and so we assume they are surely from a different early 1920s re-release (Chaplin was INCREDIBLY popular at this time, and it would make total sense that there might be two re-releases within a few years). The card offered here is from the early re-release on typical heavier paper stock, but from the release WITHOUT "First National" on the cards. NOTE: Most lobby cards from before 1940 (and some from after that date) did not have individual lobby card numbers like later lobby cards (those printed after the advent of NSS in 1940) did. So we have arbitrarily assigned numbers to unnumbered lobby cards, only when we sell more than one from a set, so that there is a convenient way to tell different scenes apart. (Note that we do not use #1, because this is commonly used to signify the title card). The exception to this is sets of cards that did not have title cards. Condition: very good. There is a 1" tear near the center of the bottom border that was repaired with a small piece of tape on the back. Learn More about condition grades
