Auction History Result 4f433 BEAR CATS LC '26 Big Boy can't get into the Beezer Club because his beezer's too small! Date Sold 3/17/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (11x14; LC; measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Bear Cats, the 1926 Charles Lamont silent juvenile comedy short starring Malcolm Sebastian (as Big Boy), Jack Lloyd, Dorothy Vernon, Jack McHugh, Bonnie Barrett, and Lester Sutherland. Note that this was one of a series of 28 "Big Boy" comedy shorts from Educational Pictures, made between 1925 and 1929; the star of the series was an extremely large baby, Big Boy, who could pass for a much older child; obviously, this was an imitation of the super successful "Our Gang" shorts, but they never achieved the same success; it appears that in 1929, Hal Roach hired away the star of these shorts, Malcolm 'Big Boy' Sebastian, to become one of the Our Gang members, still playing "Big Boy", but he only made a single movie in 1930, "Shivering Shakespeare"; if anyone knows more about why the "Big Boy" series ended, and whether Roach hired Sebastian away, or whether he simply went to the "Our Gang" producer after the "Big Boy" series was cancelled, and why he never made anymore movies, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also, 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. Condition: very good to fine. Other than some faint smudges around the edges of the card, the card is in quite nice condition! Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back of the card! Learn More about condition grades
