An Original Vintage German Film Program (measures 9" x 11 3/4" [23 x 30 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Speedy, the 1928 Ted Wilde (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) silent romantic comedy (about a New Yorker who is unemployed, and his girlfriend's grandfather owns the last horse-drawn trolley in New York City, and some crooks are trying to get his contract, and if he doesn't complete his route once every 24 hours, he will lose his contract, and naturally, Lloyd takes over and has to get the trolley all over New York City in the nick of time, to save his girl's grandfather's business) starring Harold Lloyd (in the title role as Harold 'Speedy' Swift), Ann Christy, Bert Woodruff, Brooks Benedict, and Babe Ruth (as himself!). Note that the movie was shot on location in Manhattan, included scenes at Luna Park in Coney Island, Columbus Circle, Wall Street, and ends with a crash at the Brooklyn Bridge. Also note that there is a brief scene where Lloyd drives a taxi and his passenger is none other than the real Babe Ruth, who plays himself in the movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that Babe Ruth received fifth billing in the credits, but he is not pictured on this German program (perhaps he was not nearly as big a star outside the U.S., especially since few countries played any baseball at that time). Also note that we have provided an image of four of the pages of this 8-page program (we did this by opening it and laying it flat and photographing the front and back cover together, and two of the interior pages together). You can see the four of the eight pages, and can well determine the exact condition of it from our super-sized image, but realize that there are four pages you are not seeing. But of course this means that the front cover appears in the top right of our image, but normally, the program would be folded down the center and you would view the cover by itself (and it will be sent folded as was originally intended). Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
