Auction History Result 4m106 ARM OF THE LAW 8x10 LC '15 girl in bedroom peering out of window, super early & rare! Date Sold 1/18/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Lobby Card (Learn More) The Arm of the Law, the 1915 silent crime melodrama short starring Edward Alexander. Note that the only thing we have ever seen on this movie are 8x10 lobby cards. They have the correct distributor name (Kriterion Service) and the correct studio name (Santa Barbara), with the correct emblem for C.K. Pictures. However, this movie was made in January of 1915, and that predates any lobby cards we know of, so it is possible they are from an unmarked re-release of this movie, likely within the next two years. In any event, they are really cool artifacts of the very beginning of movies and movie posters. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Important Added Info: Note that, in the early days of movie making, when lobby cards were first made (around 1915), studios would issue sets of the cards in two sizes; the regular 11" x 14" size, and a smaller 8" x 10" size. The cards were identical in every way except for the different size. This practice continued through the early 1920s, at which point the studios abandoned the smaller lobby cards, likely because theaters either ordered 11" x 14" lobby cards or 8" x 10" stills, and did not order enough of the 8" x 10" lobby cards to justify them continuing to make them. Condition: very good. The card has changed to a sepia color, but is otherwise in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
