An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Toonerville Topics, the 1922 Ira M. Lowry silent comedy short (based on the comic strip by Fontaine Fox) starring Dan Mason. This was one of 17 movies that were released between 1920 and 1922, all based on this then-classic comic strip. The strip was called "Toonerville Folks" (but was also known as "The Toonersville Trolly That Meets All Trains"), and it began in 1908. It was based on the then-new phenomenon of "suburbs", which were first starting to become important outside of large cities. Most of these early suburbs were quite rural, and trains ran from the city out to the suburb, but when you got off the train, there would be a local trolley that would take you to your destination in that suburb. In this strip, the trolley was run by the grizzly old Skipper, no doubt a former sailor. The strip ran until 1955. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned even a single movie paper item from this movie until we received this lobby card! 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: good to very good. There are some areas of paper loss in the top blank border and someone taped two pieces of cardboard to the back of two of those areas. There are also several tape stains on the back of the borders, as well as creases and tiny tears around the edges, but none of the above have any effect on the image area, which is in nice condition!
