An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Winners of the West, the 1921 Edward Laemmle (billed as "Eddie Laemmle") silent cowboy western serial ("18 thrilling episodes of red blooded adventure in the early American days of Kit Carson and Capt. John C. Fremont"; "Universal's continued feature"; "Thrilling exploits in the lives of Kit Carson & John C. Fremont") starring Art Acord, Jim Corey, Burton Law, Myrtle Lind, Percy Pembroke, and Burt Wilson. Note that director Edward Laemmle has been largely forgotten by film history, but he has a VERY interesting biography! He is the nephew of Carl Laemmle, who persuaded him to leave his electrical engineering career in 1915 and join him at his recently opened Universal Studios. He started as an assistant director, mainly under John Ford. In 1917, he went to New Guinea to produce a movie about the natives there, and was shipwrecked, and spent two years among the Kia Kia cannibals! This adventure was re-created in the movie "Shipwrecked Among Cannibals", which became the first million dollar movie for Universal Studios. Edward Laemmle went on to direct roughly 50 movies, and had many famous assistants, including William Wyler. 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. Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned one example of this lobby card, and that example has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: very good. Note that this card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! We previously auctioned this card, and when the buyer reconsigned it, it acquired small creases in the bottom-left blank corner that were not there when we sold it the first time (see our image).
