An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 10 3/4" x 14" [27 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) A Social Celebrity, the 1926 Malcolm St. Clair silent New York City romantic love triangle melodrama (about a small town barber who falls in love with the manicurist, but she longs to be a dancer, and she goes to New York City, and he follows her; oddly, he is "discovered" by a society matron, and she takes him to a party, posing as a French count; he meets the woman's niece and falls in love with her, but meanwhile, the manicurist is now a successful showgirl, and she is jealous of her former boyfriend, and she exposes him as a fake at a party, and he leaves in disgrace, but the showgirl realizes he really loves her, and follows him back home) starring Adolphe Menjou, Chester Conklin, Louise Brooks, Eleanor Lawson, Roger Davis, and Hugh Huntley. Note that this was Louise Brooks' fourth movie and she had a very lucky break! Initially, she was just cast as one of the manicurists, and Greta Nissen was the lead, but Nissen left the production, and Brooks was elevated to the co-starring role (although she was third billed behind Chester Conklin). Of course, she would become a top star a couple of years later, but then she quit Hollywood at the height of her fame (for the rest of her story, click on her name to read her biography!). 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.
