Date Sold 10/20/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 8 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Last of the Mohicans, the 1920 Clarence Brown & Maurice Tourneur silent French and Native American Indian War historical action melodrama (based on the novel by James Fenimore Cooper; about two sisters who are daughters of a British officer who are separated from the English and attempt to get back, but must evade the French, and they are greatly helped by Native American Indians and their white ally, Natty Bumpo, who is known as "Hawkeye") starring Wallace Beery (as Magua), Barbara Bedford (as Cora Munro), Alan Roscoe (as Uncas), Lillian Hall (as Alice Munro), Harry Lorraine (as Hawkeye/Natty Bumpo), Theodore Lorch (as Chingachgook), James Gordon (as Colonel Munro), and Boris Karloff. Boris was apparently an uncredited Native American Indian extra. Some say Bela Lugosi might also have been in this film but it seems unlikely because he starred as Chingachgook in two German films that same year (which could explain how the rumor was started). Note that this much loved novel was made into a movie many, many times. There had been three short versions before this one, but this was the first feature length version (there was a German version made the same year). If anyone knows more about any of this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that first release movie paper from this first feature length adaptation of this James Fenimore Cooper classic is incredibly rare! Over all our years of auctioning, we have only previously auctioned two individual lobby cards, and no other first release movie paper, until we were consigned this ultra rare complete set. In 2014, when we auctioned those two individual cards (both of which were folded down the middle and in lesser condition), one card, which showed a Native American, auctioned for $707, and the other card, which showed British soldiers, auctioned for $126, and now we are auctioning the complete set, all of which are in better condition than those two cards! Condition: very good. The title card has smudges and stains around the edges and tiny paper loss in the upper right blank border. There was once a snipe glued to the bottom of the card, and there are paper remnants in the lower left and right blank area, within the box. One of the scenes has similar small paper loss in the upper right border. One of the cards has many smudges and stains around the edges and once had a similar paper snipe to the title card glued to the top background area, with similar paper remnants in the top left and right. The six scene cards not described above are in "very good" condition, with some pretty minor border wear (they have various amounts of smudges and a few dot stains around the edges). The title card is in "good to very good" condition, and the scene card with all the smudges and remnants of the snipe is in "good" condition. I don't know how long it will be before even one more card from this movie is auctioned, but it might be many years or decades before another complete set is offered at auction!
