Auction History Result 4h943 ONLY 38 4 LCs '23 May McAvoy, young widow Lois Wilson finds romance, which shocks her kids! Date Sold 10/16/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 4 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Only 38, the 1923 William C. de Mille silent romantic family relationship comedy ("From the play by A.E. Thomas"; "Suggested by a story by Walter Prichard Eaton"; about a woman who is widowed, and her 20 year-old male and female twin children are horrified when she has a makeover and gets a boyfriend, and they manage to break them up, but then they realize they are being selfish and their mother deserves happiness) starring May McAvoy, Lois Wilson, Elliott Dexter, George Fawcett, and Robert Agnew. Note that even though Lois Wilson was clearly the central character of the movie, May McAvoy was a bigger star, and she received top billing. Also, Paramount was not thrilled about the idea of making a movie about middle-aged romance, so they cheated quite a bit and had the mother (who was supposed to be 38) played by pretty Lois Wilson, who was only 28 when the movie was made, and her "20 year-old" twins were played by actors who were 24, so the mother was only 4 years older than her children! Finally, 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 this is one of 19 complete and incomplete lobby card sets from silent movies that were recently discovered! All of the cards were used to hold sheet music, which was exactly one half the size of a lobby card. So the piano players at silent theaters would fold a lobby card in half and then use it as a holder for the sheet music, which was on thin paper! All of the cards in these 19 sets have been folded in half, and all have the name of a specific movie with some added instructions written on the back of the right half of the card, but the writing does not affect the front, and it is kind of a cool addition to each card! Condition: good to very good. The card in the top right of our image has separated entirely in half and it has stains and surface paper loss in the bottom center. The other three cards are in pretty nice condition, except that all of the cards have been folded in half . Some have some slight separation on the fold and some have some tiny paper loss at the top or bottom (see our image for a better sense of the exact condition of these cards). Other than these defects, the cards are in pretty nice condition, especially considering their age! Learn More about condition grades
