Auction History Result 2f652 ENOCH ARDEN LC R22 wonderful c/u of Lillian Gish by dream art of her husband's sunken ship! Date Sold 10/27/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1922) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Enoch Arden, the 1915 Christy Cabanne silent romantic love triangle lost love melodrama (based on the poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson; about a married man who is lost at sea, and he returns after many years to find his wife is remarried, and he still loves her, but he doesn't want to disrupt her happiness) starring Lillian Gish, Alfred Paget (in the title role as Enoch Arden), Wallace Reid, Mildred Harris, Francis Carpenter, and D.W. Griffith. In 1911, D.W. Griffith had made an earlier version of this movie, which he wrote himself. This was a remake of that movie by Mutual, this time directed by Christy Cabanne, and Griffith was credited as the writer, perhaps solely because he had written the earlier version. Note that this movie was made in early 1915, when Lillian Gish and Wallace Reid were not giant stars (and surely there were no lobby cards at that time). In 1922, the movie was re-titled as "The Fatal Marriage" and given a major re-release, because the top stars were now superstars, and lobby cards exist from that re-release! If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that when this movie was re-released in the earlier 1920s, the title was changed to "The Fatal Marriage". But this is definitely a re-release of the 1915 version and not the 1911 version. Condition: very good. There is tiny paper loss in the top right corner and a stain in the top left corner. There are some smudges around the edges. 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
