An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Cock-Eyed World, the 1929 Raoul Walsh pre-Code U.S. Marine Corps military romantic love triangle musical comedy ("A sob... a sigh... a thrill... a cry!"; "Laugh till the tears roll down your back!"; "All talking, singing, laughing Fox Movietone comedy drama of hot mammas and fighting Marines"; "Two Roughneck Romeos Love and Fight and Talk"; "Story by Laurence Stallings and Maxwell Anderson"; this was a sequel of sorts to "What Price Glory", although in some ways it is a remake of that silent movie, with McLaglen & Lowe reprising their roles as tough Marines who compete for the same women all over the globe; there was one more sequel called "Women of All Nations") starring Victor McLaglen, Edmund Lowe, Lili Damita (billed as "Lily Damita"), Soledad Jimenez, and El Brendel. Note that this was a pre-Code movie with a lot of risque dialog and behavior (at one point, El Brendel introduces his girlfriend as "the lay of the land", and then points to a map on her hand!).

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this lobby card, and that was 10 years ago, and that example has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned! Note that William Fox was a very big believer in creating striking advertising that might gain his movies additional viewers. Most of his one-sheets were great stone lithos with full artwork, and sometimes the smaller posters were as well. In the case of his "better" movies, he would sometimes make the lobby card set consist of eight cards, each with a beautiful colored photo with a "full bleed", something none of the other studios did. The cards from this movie are one of those movies with "full bleed" photo lobby cards, printed on a linen-like paper, and they really are spectacular! 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 are faint creases in the top right corner and the lower left corner, but otherwise, the card is in excellent condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
