An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Toll of the Sea, the 1922 Chester M. Franklin silent China lost love romantic melodrama ("In Perfect Natural Colors"; "Story by Frances Marion"; the movie "borrows" the plot from Madame Butterfly, but set in China; an American man visiting China falls in love with a beautiful 17 year old Chinese teenager; his friends tell him he would be nuts to bring her back to the U.S., so he leaves her, and years later, he returns to China and meets her again, but their time has passed) starring Anna May Wong, Kenneth Harlan, Beatrice Bentley, Priscilla Moran, and Etta Lee. Note that this movie was made in two-strip Technicolor, and was the first such movie that could be shown without a special projector. It is also quite noteworthy that star Anna May Wong was just 17 when this movie was made, and that she had only appeared in a handful of movies before this!

Important Added Info: 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. There is a water stain in the bottom left corner that extends into the image background. It has caused the card to be rippled in that area, and it is slightly noticeable in the bottom blank border, but otherwise, it is pretty much not at all noticeable from the front (although you can clearly see it on the back; see our image). I would think most collectors would be happy to display this great card as it is, or certainly, a restorer could remove the water stain, likely without backing the card in any way.
