Auction History Result 7a0460 FREE & EASY LC 1930 Buster Keaton in uniform & crown with sexy showgirl Anita Page, rare! Date Sold 12/27/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Free and Easy, the 1930 Edward Sedgwick Hollywood California movie making romantic musical comedy (about a Kansas girl who wins a beauty contest and her and her mother get a trip to Hollywood along with an agent who is supposed to look after her, but he actually is in love with her!) starring Buster Keaton ("His first all talking picture"), Anita Page, Trixie Friganza, Robert Montgomery, Fred Niblo, and Lionel Barrymore. Note that because a major plot point involved the leads going to Hollywood and trying to break into movies, MGM had many of their top stars appear in cameo roles during a sequence where Buster Keaton is chased through various sound stages where MGM movies were being filmed. Also note that this was Buster Keaton's first talking picture, and of course, we know that he did not have nearly the success in talkies as he had in silents, but that was caused by other reasons (he had a great speaking voice for a comedian!).

We have only previously auctioned three rotogravure one-sheets (ranging in price from $575 to $1,213!), a half-sheet (which sold for $1,016), and three stills from this movie (and NO other movie paper) until we received this lobby card, which is the first lobby card we have ever auctioned! 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: very good. The card has slightly darkened in the outer edges of the blank borders. There are three tiny faint stains in the bottom left corner and a few faint creases in the right of the top blank border. There are two very faint vertical scuff marks in the bottom center, running through the "F" of "FREE", and there are a few extremely tiny bits of paper loss and surface paper loss in the outer edge of the upper right blank border. There is pen writing on the back of the card, but it has no effect on the front. Other than the above defects, which mostly only affect the blank borders, the card is in nice condition! Note that this card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
