An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Aloma of the South Seas, the 1926 Maurice Tourneur silent tropical island romantic love triangle melodrama ("From the play by John B. Hymer and LeRoy Clemens"; about an American who falls in love with a beautiful native dancer on a tropical island, but she has a native boyfriend, but everything works out in the end when the American finds a white woman and the native couple is reunited) starring Gilda Gray (in the title role as Aloma), Percy Marmont, Warner Baxter, Julanne Johnston, and William Powell (right before he appeared in Beau Geste).

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this lobby card! Note that this card has been "gel backed". What does that mean? It means that a talented restorer backed the card onto a gel material, and they then performed restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, and afterward the card still looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. Many collectors prefer this method of restoration to paperbacking or linenbacking, because with those methods the card no longer looks like it was not backed. Gel backing can't be used with cards that have major paper loss or other major defects, but for the cards it can be used on, it is really an excellent method of restoration! 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. What IS gelbacking? Learn More Condition: very good. The card had triangular staining in each corner, where there was once tape. Overall, the card was in good to very good condition prior to restoration. You can see slight signs of the restoration, but the card displays really well! Learn More about condition grades
