Blystone & Buster Keaton silent family feud romantic screwball comedy ("Hospitality welcome!"; "A Metro Picture [in 7 parts]"; set in Kentucky in the 1830s, it is a parody on the famous feud of the Hatfields and the McCoys; here they are called the Canfields and McKays, and Buster Keaton is sent away as a baby [and that baby is played by Buster Keaton's 1 year old son, Buster Keaton Jr.!], so he won't grow up to be involved in the feud, but when he grows up, he gets a telegram that his father has died, and he returns home, and he falls for a girl from the rival family, which makes the family members set on killing him!) starring Buster Keaton, Joe Roberts, Ralph Bushman, Craig Ward, Monte Collins, and Natalie Talmadge (Keaton's real life wife, as "The Girl"). Note that Natalie Talmadge was the much less known sister of Constance and Norma Talmadge. She only appears in a few films in the 1910s, and then she married Buster Keaton in 1921. She co-starred with him in this movie (while she was pregnant with their second son during filming). They divorced in 1932, and it was a very bitter divorce. She legally changed the name of son Robert to "Robert Talmadge", and she became an alcoholic. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned this card once before, and that was 4 years ago, when it sold for $751, and the buyer has now re-consigned that same card to us, so this is still the only example of this card we have ever auctioned! 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: very good to fine. There is a faint partial diagonal crease in the bottom left corner. There was one in the bottom right corner that disconnected a blank piece, and someone taped it back on from the back. There are faint partial creases in the top corners and very slight darkening around the edges. Otherwise, the card is in really nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
