Date Sold 8/28/2007Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Poster (measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) The Lights of New York, the 1922 Charles Brabin silent New York City romantic love triangle/adoption melodrama ("A Drama of Life in a Big City"; based on a story by the director, Charles Brabin; the movie has two separate stories; one is about a boy adopted by a Lower East Side pawnbroker, and he gets in trouble, but he has a dream that foretells a bad end for him, and that causes him to straighten out; the other story concerns a Wall Street financier who loses his fiancee to another man; years later, he is sadly walking the streets, and a group of men invite him to join them, and he discovers that the man giving the party is the son of his former fiancee, and her husband has passed away, and he is reunited with his lost love; the movie seems to be an early "Naked City" type movie, with tales of New York City life, and perhaps it was intended to be the first of several similar movies) starring Clarence Nordstrom, Margaret Seddon, Frank Currier, Florence Short, and Marc McDermott. Note that the IMDb lists this movie as being called "The Lights of New York", although the poster we are selling clearly lists it as "Lights of New York", so we don't know what to make of that! Most importantly, note that this movie is not the famous movie of the same name that was made in 1928 by Warner Bros.! That movie was the first full talking movie, but it has no relation whatsoever to this movie, not even the source novel. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. The card was found under a floor, and there is much staining throughout, but it is not all that distracting (and the worst of it is in the top blank area and on the back of the card). I would think a talented restorer could remove much of the staining and after proper restoration of the card's other defects, the card would look fantastic (and it is quite possible that some or all of the staining can be removed through chemical means, and if so, this card can be restored without a lot of paint restoration).
