Auction History Result 9t0276 LA BOHEME TC 1926 Lillian Gish, John Gilbert & top stars, directed by King Vidor, very rare! Date Sold 9/28/2021 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) La Boheme, the 1926 King Vidor silent Paris France romantic melodrama ("Suggested by Henry Murger's 'Life in the Latin Quarter'"; set in 1830s Paris, about a group of poor artists and writers who meet a beautiful seamstress, and about all of their struggles to succeed, and also just to survive) starring Lillian Gish, John Gilbert, Renee Adoree, Roy D'Arcy, Karl Dane, Frank Currier, George Hassell, Edward Everett Horton, and "other stars". Note that Puccini's famous 1896 opera of this name was based on Murger's 1851 novel, and this movie only credits the novel and not Puccini or his opera, so we suspect that had something to do with MGM only buying the rights to the novel and not the opera. There were several silent versions of this prior to this movie and many sound versions after it! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this title card, and that was 18 years ago! 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. The card has darkened somewhat. It has pinholes, smudges, and stains around the edges, with just a few scattered in the image and not in the faces of the stars. This is the sort of card that responds really well to professional restoration. It is likely that much or all of the smudges and stains can be removed through chemical means, after which the card will look fantastic (although I think most collectors might display this great card on their wall just as it is).
