Auction History Result 5r1527 WHY WORRY LC 1923 Harold Lloyd gives pills to giant John Aasen for his toothache, very rare! Date Sold 12/21/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 10 1/2" x 13" [27 x 33 cm]) (Learn More) Why Worry, the 1923 Fred C. Newmeyer & Sam Taylor silent adventure romantic comedy ("His latest six reel Pathecomedy"; about a hypochondriac who is advised to go to the tropics and take advantage of the fresh air, but he ends up in the middle of a revolution) starring Harold Lloyd, Jobyna Ralston, John Aasen, Wallace Howe, Jim Mason, Leo White, and Gaylord Lloyd (Harold's brother!). Gaylord Lloyd greatly resembled his brother Harold, and in 1921, he starred in a series of comedy shorts, but they were not that successful, and he began doubling for his brother and having some bit parts in his brother's movies. Also note that John Aasen was a Norwegian giant who appeared in ten movies between 1923 and 1936, often uncredited. He first appeared as "Colosso" in this movie, and he appeared with the Our Gang kids as a circus giant in "Growing Pains". He died in 1938 at the age of 48. He was advertised as being 8' 9", but this is almost certainly an extreme exaggeration, for it was common at the time to add at least one foot to the height of tall men in circuses, and in 2008, his skeleton was measured and he was discovered to have been 7' 2". If anyone knows more about John Aasen, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this scene lobby card, and that was 10 years ago. That card has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example of this scene card we have ever auctioned! Also note that this lobby card has been trimmed and it now measures 10 1/2" x 13" [27 x 33 cm]. Finally, 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: good to very good. Someone neatly trimmed parts of the blank borders and the card now measures 10 1/2" x 13". Otherwise, the card only has a few faint smudges around the edges and a tiny tear in the upper right border (which has a piece of tape on the back), but is otherwise in nice condition!
