Badger silent romantic beach comedy ("Story and Screen Play by Lloyd Corrigan") starring Bebe Daniels, Gertrude Ederle, James Hall, Josephine Dunn, and William Austin. Note that Gertrude Ederle was an American competition swimmer, Olympic champion, and the first woman to swim across the English Channel! She donated most of her salary from this movie to the Woman's Swimming Association, which had sponsored her first try at crossing the English Channel. 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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only once before auctioned this window card! Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: fair to good. The card had some stains and smudges scattered throughout, with some nail holes in the image, two of which were right by Daniels' body, but barely touching it. Someone put tape on the back of those areas and then put some sort of white filler material on the front. They also lightly bleached the card. They surely were intending to do much further restoration, but that's as far as they got. Please read all of the above and look at our super-sized image before bidding on this card.
