An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Skinner's Big Idea, the 1928 Lynn Shores silent business screwball comedy ("More howls than Skinner's dress suit"; "From the story by Henry Irving Dodge"; a wacky story of a man whose bosses take a vacation and leave him in charge of their company, first telling him to fire three over the hill employees; instead, he hired a chorus girl to get the older men interested in living again, and then he himself takes a vacation, and while he is gone, the employees manage to land a giant contract, which saves the day!) starring Bryant Washburn ("The original Mr. Skinner"; in the title role as Skinner), William Orlamond, James Bradbury Sr., Robert Dudley, Ole. M. Ness, and Charles Wellesley. Note that Bryant Washburn starred in Skinner's Dress Suit in 1917, and two sequels were quickly made. In 1928, 11 years later, Joseph Kennedy had the idea of reviving the character, and the result was this movie, and Washburn was billed as "The Original Mr. Skinner", so moviegoers would know he had returned to the role, but apparently, the movie was not that successful, since there were no more in this series. 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 ANY movie paper items from this movie are incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned two scene lobby cards and a glass slide from this movie (and NO other movie paper) until we received this title lobby card! 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. Someone used the back of the card to create a filmography list, and they neatly drew a large grid in pencil and wrote in the names of movies and stars. The lines from the grid created light indentations on the front of the card, and they are noticeable in the solid background areas. There is yellowed tape across the bottom of the back of the card, repairing some tears in that area. Please look at our super-sized images to get a good sense of the exact condition of this card.
