An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Lobby Card (Learn More) The Fair Pretender, the 1918 Charles Miller silent romantic mistaken identity stage play comedy farce (about a man who writes a play that says that anyone would be accepted in high society if they look the part; a secretary tries to prove that theory by attending a fancy party, and she meets the playwright, and all kinds of complications ensue, including a German spy at the party, but she ends up starring in the play) starring Madge Kennedy ("- and her smile - and her eyes"), Tom Moore, Robert Walker, Paul Doucet, and Wilmer Walter. Note that the Robert Walker credited above was NOT the Robert Walker who starred in the 1940s and 1950s, but a different Robert Walker who started making movies in 1913, and he appeared in an amazing 255 movies through 1953, a 40 year span, but most of those were westerns, and a lot of them were very minor roles, often uncredited.

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. Condition: fair to good. There are water stains throughout the card. Learn More about condition grades
