Auction History Result 3y0554 PHANTOM POLICE chapter 10 TC 1926 cop Herbert Rawlinson, The Rogues' Gallery, ultra rare! Date Sold 3/14/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Chapter #10 (The Rogues' Gallery) Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Phantom Police, the 1926 Robert Dillon silent police airplane aviation crime melodrama serial ("A Realart serial play") starring Herbert Rawlinson, Max and Moritz ("The World's most famous, almost man-like Chimpanzees."), Gloria Joy, Eddie Fetherston, Purnell Pratt, and Dick Gordon. Sadly, we could find no information about this serial, not even the briefest plot summary, and that is shame, based on the only item from this serial we have ever seen, because it is a one-sheet with great art of a policeman and a pilot fighting in a biplane that is plunging to the ground, and there is billing for "Max and Moritz". Research on the Internet reveals that these were a pair of chimps raised by Rueben Castang, who had worked for Carl Hagenbeck, another movie animal guy. Castang believed that if you took chimps as babies and raised them like humans, you could greatly raise their intelligence, and his pair definitely were very smart (and Castang made one other movie, "No Monkey Business", in 1935, which likely also starred Max and Moritz, but we were unable to determine if they performed in any other movies). 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 two one-sheets and four scene lobby cards from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this title 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. The card was folded down the center. There is a tape stain in each top blank corner, with some pinholes, smudges, and slight darkening around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
