Auction History Result 8a079 MERRY GO ROUND LC '22 Erich von Stroheim's final Universal movie, Kerry carrying Philbin!! Date Sold 6/14/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Merry-Go-Round, the 1922 Rupert Julian & Erich von Stroheim silent romantic love triangle melodrama ("Universal Super-Jewel, The Mad Whirl of Life Love and Luxury"; "You'll be surprised!") starring Mary Philbin, Norman Kerry, Cesare Gravina, George Hackathorne, Edith Yorke, George Seigmann, Dale Fuller, Dorothy Wallace, Spottswoode Aifken, Al Edmundson, Maude George, Charles L. King, Fenwick Oliver, Sidney Bracy, Jane Sherman and Helen Broneau. Note that Erich von Stroheim was the actual director of this movie. But as he was finishing it, producer Irving Thalberg fired him, and called in Rupert Julian to finish the movie, and, no doubt to spite von Stroheim, only Julian was billed as the director of the movie. But it is completely a von Stroheim movie, and quite an interesting one! It is interesting to note that soon after this, Irving Thalberg was himself fired by Carl Laemmle (reportedly because Thalberg dumped Laemmle's daughter!), and he went to work for Louis B. Mayer, later rising to be the head of MGM studios! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that for this movie, Universal created two entirely different 8 card lobby card sets (something they did with their top productions in the 1920s). On one set, all of the cards are printed on a special gold colored paper stock (it is gold colored on the front, but is the regular paper color on the back). The other set is printed on more traditional lobby card paper. Condition: good to very good. There is a 1/2" tear in the right border that was taped from the back and has tiny surface paper loss. There is a 1/4" tear in the center of the top border with tape on the back. There are some scuffs and creases around the edges, with pinholes in the center of the left and right borders, and one in the hair of the girl in the inset image, and one the left background area between the trees. The card was once attached to a backing and there is a thin strip of tape residue and some surface paper loss down the left and right of the back. There are a few creases and scuffs scattered in the image. Learn More about condition grades
