Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Grit, the 1924 Frank Tuttle silent crime melodrama starring (based on a story by F. Scott Fitzgerald) Clara Bow (very young in this role!), Glenn Hunter, Dore Davidson, and Osgood Perkins. Note that Clara Bow was the most famous "flapper girl" of the mid to late 1920s (she became known as "The It Girl" after the character she played based on the popular novel by Elinor Glyn). She had a major role in Wings, and was Paramount's biggest star at that time. But she had a notorious private life and seemingly "settled down" when she married cowboy star Rex Bell in 1931 (she had two children and she retired from movies), but sadly in 1949 she went into a mental institution after a failed suicide attempt (she had had psychiatric issues for quite some time) and she was released but never returned to her family, and lived alone until her death in 1965.

Condition: good to very good. card was folded in half at one time; it appears the top border of the card was tattered or missing and it seems that someone took the bottom of a different card and "married" it to this card (by taping the two parts together from the back)! The result is that the card looks fine, but oddly the small printing information is in the top blank border, not the bottom. Still, this rare card has a wonderful image of a young and innocent Clara Bow Learn More about condition grades
