A love tryst to each other made. When the light Pierced - did she remember?"; "A symphony of life and love in the high and low places by Curtis Benton"; a sentimental story of a blind violinist who is used as a decoy by a gang of crooks; but her purity rubs off on them, and they decide to "go straight", but they realize they want to pull one last job so they can get the money for her to have an operation that will let her see again!) starring James Rennie, Sam Hardy, Anders Randolf, Harry Short, and Dorothy Mackaill (in the title role as Rose Duncan). Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that in the days immediately following World War I, there were a huge amount of returning veterans who could not find jobs, and labor was cheap and plentiful. This likely explains why the studios began hand-coloring lobby cards. This was incredibly time consuming, because it was done to every single card one by one. As economic conditions improved in the country, and as printing technology also improved, these methods of decorating cards vanished! Condition: good. Like many silent lobby cards of the early 1920s, this card was literally "hand colored". Since they used watercolor paint on the cards, it could easily "run" if any water dripped on the card, and that is clearly what happened to this card. The excess paint could be removed, but unless it was done incredibly carefully, it would also remove the other hand painting. Otherwise, the card is in pretty nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
