Auction History Result 1b1883 SMILES ARE TRUMP TC 1922 great portrait of Maurice 'Lefty' Flynn in ace of hearts, rare! Date Sold 11/23/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Smiles Are Trump, the 1922 George Marshall silent railroad train romantic action adventure thriller (based on the story 'The Iron Rider' by Frank L. Packard; a complicated story of a man who works for a railroad and discovers a man is cheating the company, and he goes to try to report him) starring Maurice 'Lefty' Flynn, Ora Carew, Miles McCarthy, Herschel Mayall, Kirke Lucas, and C. Norman Hammond. Note that there are two oddities about this movie. One is that TCM says this movie is called "Smiles Are Trumps", but the only movie advertising we have seen has it listed as "Smiles Are Trump". The other is that the advertising shows Lefty Flynn in an ace of hearts playing card, and the word "trump" refers to playing bridge and some other card games, and yet the plot summary we saw doesn't show any gambling connection! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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 ANY movie paper items from this movie are incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned two scene lobby cards from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this title 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. Note also that this is one of several silent lobby cards that we were consigned by a very long time collector. Almost all of the cards were in surprisingly nice condition, but not surprisingly, many of them had smudges or stains in the blank borders, with a few pinholes or small tears. The collector approached a restorer, and asked that all the cards have touch up performed on the fronts of the cards in the borders (as needed), but that none of them be backed in any way. You can tell that the cards have had some border restoration (some of it is more "felt" than seen), but they will display really well on the new owner's walls (or in albums). And many of these cards are from EXTREMELY rare titles! What IS gelbacking? Learn More Condition: very good. The card has had some border restoration on the front only, as described above.
