An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Laugh, Clown, Laugh, the 1928 Herbert Brenon silent romantic love triangle circus doomed romantic melodrama ("From the play by David Belasco and Tom Cushing"; Chaney is a circus clown who adopts an orphan girl, and when she grows up, he falls in love with her, but he is 30 years older than her, and she finds someone she likes better, and he basically commits suicide doing an impossible circus stunt) starring Lon Chaney Sr., Bernard Siegel, Loretta Young (in her first real role; she was just 15 years-old at the time, and had had bit parts for 10 years previous as a child actress!), Cissy Fitzgerald, Nils Asther, and Gwen Lee. This sounds like it should be a Tod Browning movie, with its extremely creepy plot, and a real life 15 year-old playing love scenes with a man older than her father, but it is not (it is based on a play by celebrated authors David Belasco and Tom Cushing)!

Condition: good to very good. There is some uneven darkening around the edges, mostly only affecting the blank borders (it slightly extends into the image area in the left and right). There are tiny creases in the blank corners, with a tiny bit of paper loss in the bottom left blank corner and tiny surface paper loss in the bottom right blank corner. Otherwise, the card is in pretty nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back!
