An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More)

The Goldfish, the 1924 Jerome Storm silent romantic comedy (about a young wife married to a young songwriter, and she wants a glamorous life that he can't provide, so she leaves him and marries a succession of more and more important men, but when he writes a hit song, she realizes she loved him all along, and they are reunited) starring Constance Talmadge, Jack Mulhall, Frank Elliot, Jean Hersholt, and Zasu Pitts. Note that the title of the movie refers to the young couple vowing when they are first married that if either ever feels trapped in their marriage, they can give the other a bowl of goldfish, which will signify how they feel and mean the marriage is over without any words. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving complete copies are thought to exist.

Important Added Info: 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.

What IS gelbacking? Learn More

Condition: good to very good. The card had some tears and paper loss around the edges, with a few stains scattered in the image. Overall, the card was in good condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the card (meaning they backed the card onto a gel material) and they then performed restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, so that the card still looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. The card was pretty well restored, you can see signs of the restoration, more so in the background areas and borders (see our super-sized images to get a good sense of exactly how the card looks now).
