An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14") (Learn More)

Sis Hopkins, the 1919 Clarence G. Badger silent mistaken-oil-strike screwball comedy (about an odd girl in a small town who owns some land, and an old man gets the idea that there is oil on the property, so he tries to marry her to get the land, and when that fails, he buys the worthless land for a small fortune!) starring Mabel Normand, John Bowers, Sam De Grasse, Thomas Jefferson, and Nick Cogley

Important Added Info: Note that cinema pioneer Samuel Goldwyn (one of the founders of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) conducted an interesting experiment with lobby cards in 1919. He had all of the 1919 lobby cards from Goldwyn movies made in a special way. The title card was like a normal title card, but all of the seven scene cards did not have the title of the movie printed anywhere on them! Obviously, theater owners hated the experiment, because it meant they could not tell which movie the scene cards were from unless they had specifically seen the movie. Similarly, lobby card collectors have the same problem, and we have sold many "unknown" 1919 Goldwyn lobby cards over the year! In the case of this specific card, we know it to be from the movie "Sis Hopkins", because it was identified for us by a Mabel Nourmand expert.

Condition: fair to good. There are many stains around the edges of the card and some scuffs and areas of surface paper loss in the red center of the card, but fortunately, almost nothing in Normand's face or figure. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back of the card!
