Auction History Result 3z947 UNDINE LC 1916 female water spirit & nymphs on rocky beach, cool vertical format, ultra rare! Date Sold 2/1/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Undine, the 1916 Henry Otto silent swimming diving water nymph fantasy melodrama (based on the fairy tale by Friedrich de La Motte) starring Ida Schnall (in the title role as Undine), Douglas Gerrard, Edna Maison, Carol Stellson, Caroline Fowler, Orin Jackson, and Josephine Rice. Note that Ida Schnall is one of the most important early female athletes, but sadly, she is almost completely forgotten today. In 1912, the Olympic games (held in Sweden that summer) allowed women to compete in swimming and diving, and Schnall was a champion at both, but the captain of the U.S. Olympic team did not want women competitors traveling with the men, so he banned the women from competing, which almost surely robbed Schnall of multiple medals. The following year, she helped found the New York Female Giants baseball team, and she was the manager and a star player! In 1915, she appeared in a movie, "Runaway June", and the next year she starred in this movie. We don't know what happened to her after that, but she lived all the way until 1973, when she passed away at the age of 85. Much research needs to be done about her life, and surely she deserves a film biography! Important Added Info: Note that in the middle 1910s, when lobby cards first started, sometimes the cards would have vertical images. But they quickly became a standard horizontal image. There ARE a very few exceptions to this, including this cool lobby card from this 1916 movie. Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: good to very good. The card has pinholes in the corners, with brown stains by the holes, and some faint creases and scuffs scattered in the image. It has a few small pinholes in the center of the top and bottom border and scattered in the image. There is a 1/2" tear in the bottom border that was repaired with tape from the back.
