Hooser, Harry Keenan, William Russell, and Marie Van Tassell NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that, in the early days of movie making, when lobby cards were first made (around 1915), studios would issue sets of the cards in two sizes; the regular 11" x 14" size, and a smaller 8" x 10" size. The cards were identical in every way except for the different size. This practice continued through the early 1920s, at which point the studios abandoned the smaller lobby cards, likely because theaters either ordered 11" x 14" lobby cards or 8" x 10" stills, and did not order enough of the 8" x 10" lobby cards to justify them continuing to make them. Also note that these are hand-colored lobby cards. In the days of silent movie prior to the invention of good quality full-color printing, studios would have half-sheets printed in black and white and then amazingly would hire women to hand-color the lobby cards one at a time (apparently labor was very cheap at the time)! So, each lobby card is colored slightly differently, and the coloring is never a perfect match. Condition: very good. There are a few pin holes around the edges of the cards. There is a small stain in the woman's dress at left in the bottom card pictured as well as some minor smudges and stains throughout the cards. Overall, these cards are in pretty nice condition especially considering they are 92 years old! Learn More about condition grades
