Auction History Result 3z683 HIS JAZZ BRIDE LC '26 flapper Marie Prevost with partygoers on the deck of cruise ship! Date Sold 12/23/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) His Jazz Bride, the silent 1926 Herman Raymaker romantic musical melodrama ("Adapted from 'The Flapper Wife'"; "Story by Beatrice Burton"; about a young woman who is bored by marriage, and who goes on a cruise with a friend, but then the boat sinks, and her boring husband rescues her, and she realizes that she should give up her silly ideas and become a housewife!) starring Marie Prevost, Matt Moore, Gayne Whitman, John Patrick and Mabel Julienne Scott. Note that Marie Prevost was a Mack Sennett "Bathing Beauty" in 1917 while still a teenager, and she became a star in the early 1920s, and was a favorite of director Ernst Lubitsch who cast her in three of his comedy films; The Marriage Circle (1924), Three Women (1924) and Kiss Me Again (1925). But with the advent of sound, her career started downhill, and she began drinking heavily and binge eating, which did not help her career any. In 1937 her body was discovered, and it is believe she died from acute alcoholism, and her pet dog at that time, a dachshund was with her. She would just be one of hundreds of forgotten Hollywood celebrities who had meteoric rises and falls except that Kenneth Anger in his book Hollywood Babylon chose to include the false story of her having been found half-eaten by her dachshund (clearly Anger subscribed to the Liberty Valance school of journalism: "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend", and of course such tawdry stories sell millions of books).

There is a faint vertical water stain in the middle of the left edge of the image. Otherwise, the card is in 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
