An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More)

The Perfect Sap, the 1927 Howard Higgin silent haunted house detective mystery romantic comedy ("Adapted from the play Not Herbert by Howard Irving Young"; about a nerdy would-be detective at a costume party where crooks are hiding, and they try to convince him the house is haunted) starring Ben Lyon, Pauline Starke, Virginia Lee Corbin, Lloyd Whitlock, Diana Kane, and Byron Douglas. Note that IMDB and other resources do not credit Starke, but she is 2nd billed on the title card and the film's wiki page has her role in the film as Polly Stoddard. Also, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist.
NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper items from this movie are incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a title lobby card, a different scene lobby card, and a few stills from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this second scene card! 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. There are pinholes, smudges and tiny stains around the edges. The card displays pretty well, but certainly any talented restorer could greatly improve its appearance, and likely be able to remove the smudges and stains chemically. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back!
