Auction History Result 8g1113 ROLL ALONG 3 LCs 1923 Jimmie Adams, Natalie Joyce, William Irving, London all in blackface! Date Sold 4/15/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 3 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Roll Along, the 1923 Scott Sidney silent Educational Pictures comedy short ("Christie Comedies") starring Jimmie Adams (as Rastus Jones), Natalie Joyce (as Mandy), William Irving (as Suwanee Sam), Babe London (as Sistah Dinah), and Ward Caulfield (as Mammy). Talk about politically incorrect! This "comedy" has white actors in blackface playing the worst kinds of racial stereotypes (in one lobby card, a "black" suitor offers her a bouquet of cotton, picked from the field). Thankfully, this is a dim part of film history, but it is fascinating! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good to very good. Each was folded back at one time vertically at center. The card pictured at upper right has tape behind that crease with some discoloration at bottom (see our image). They are otherwise in generally nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
