Horne & Buster Keaton silent romantic baseball track-and-field sports athlete higher education slapstick comedy ("Rah! Rah! Rah! Kiss... Boom... Bah! Keaton 'College' Hah! Hah! Hah!"; "The Intercollegiate Laugh Riot"; "Happiest of all Keaton Comedies"; "Nit-Wit and Big Wit of the party"; "'Go get 'em Buster - I'm with you: You've got brains and muscle too! Make 'em laugh And roar out load But watch me waving In the crowd.'"; "Highbrow Student and Sap Athlete"; about a bookworm college student whose girlfriend says she will dump him if he doesn't become an athlete, so he has to find a sport he can succeed in) starring Buster Keaton, Anne Cornwall, Flora Bramley, Harold Goodwin, and Snitz Edwards. Note that there is a great irony in the plot of this movie, which is that Buster Keaton was playing a young man hopeless at sports, when he was actually extremely coordinated and athletic, so he had difficulty pretending not to be!

We have only previously auctioned a half-sheet, two scene lobby cards, and some stills from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this title card! We are also currently auctioning a scene card in a separate auction. 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 to fine. The card has a tiny pair of staple holes in each top corner and four pinholes in the right and bottom of the card, with one in the middle right of the image (you can see exactly where they are by looking at the back of the card). There is a crease in the top left blank corner and a partial 2" crease in the right of the top border. Other than these exact minor defects, the card is in wonderful condition, and it is not at all fragile, and we can't imagine a better surviving example of this ultra rare card. Note that this card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
