Auction History Result 5d268 DOG'S LIFE promo brochure '18 silent, much information about Charlie Chaplin & his mutt! Date Sold 9/29/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Promotional Movie Brochure (measures 12 1/4" x 18"; 4 pages) (Learn More) A Dog's Life, the 1918 Charlie Chaplin silent screwball comedy ("The one and only Charles Chaplin in his first million dollar picture"; "In his first million dollar comedy"; "His Signature"; "A First National Attraction") starring Charlie Chaplin (Charles Chaplin; as the Tramp), Edna Purviance, Syd Chaplin, Henry Bergman, Charles Reisner, and Brownie the Wonder Dog (in the title role). Note that Chaplin was so incredibly popular in 1918, that First National had to pay him a million dollars per movie to lure him away from his previous studio (which was a staggering amount of money in 1918)! Naturally, they wanted to get some advertising value out of their massive expenditure, so they advertised the movie as "His First Million Dollar Comedy". Brownie the Wonder Dog got his giant break in 1918 playing the title role in this film. This led to major stardom and a series of shorts with his name above the title. He starred in 53 movies through 1923, at which point he hopefully retired at the peak of his fame! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good. The poster was folded in half an extra time at one time. The brochure has become somewhat brittle with age and there is much separation along some of the foldlines and there is some tattering along the foldlines and edges. Overall, the brochure is in nice condition considering its age and it is fun to read the many articles but one must be careful handling the item as it is fragile! Learn More about condition grades
