Auction History Result 9y690 MERRY GO ROUND LC 1922 Erich von Stroheim's final Universal movie, Kerry & Philbin wedding! Date Sold 10/9/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Merry-Go-Round, the 1922 Rupert Julian & Erich von Stroheim silent romantic love triangle melodrama ("Universal Super-Jewel, The Mad Whirl of Life Love and Luxury"; "You'll be surprised!") starring Mary Philbin, Norman Kerry, Cesare Gravina, George Hackathorne, Edith Yorke, George Seigmann, Dale Fuller, Dorothy Wallace, Spottswoode Aifken, Al Edmundson, Maude George, Charles L. King, Fenwick Oliver, Sidney Bracy, Jane Sherman and Helen Broneau. Note that Erich von Stroheim was the actual director of this movie. But as he was finishing it, producer Irving Thalberg fired him, and called in Rupert Julian to finish the movie, and, no doubt to spite von Stroheim, only Julian was billed as the director of the movie. But it is completely a von Stroheim movie, and quite an interesting one! It is interesting to note that soon after this, Irving Thalberg was himself fired by Carl Laemmle (reportedly because Thalberg dumped Laemmle's daughter!), and he went to work for Louis B. Mayer, later rising to be the head of MGM studios! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that there is a stamp on the back that reads "FROM THE COLLECTION OF Michael R. Hawks", who most would consider the premier lobby card collector and expert in the world (and he is still an active collector, looking for the last few items he needs!). 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. The card has darkened, typical of Universal lobby cards of this period. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back!
