Robertson silent romantic love triangle comedy farce ("'If my husband is going to bring his countess on our honeymoon, I'll take you, Jimmy dear!'"; "Scenario by Clara Beranger"; "By Avery Hopwood"; about three couples, two of whom are European royalty, and they end up matched to the wrong person, and to make matters worse, they have to go on honeymoons, but they end up with the right spouses on real honeymoons) starring Billie Burke (in the title role as Sadie Love; "By arrangement with F. Ziegfeld, Jr."), James Crane, Helen Montrose, Hedda Hopper (later the famous gossip columnist, in an acting role), and Jed Prouty.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned four lobby cards from this movie, and we have NEVER auctioned this title card! 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. 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, and they also would sometimes have glitter applied to the letters of the title card! This was incredibly time consuming, because it was done to every single card one by one (in the case of the glitter, the person would apply glue to the letters, then shake glitter over the card, and let it dry, just as we all did in kindergarten!). As economic conditions improved in the country, and as printing technology also improved, these methods of decorating cards vanished! Otherwise, the card only has some minor border wear. 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
