An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Stop That Man, the 1928 Nat Ross silent romantic slapstick comedy ("It's a Universal"; "From the famous stage success by George V. Hobart"; a wacky story of a man who borrows his brother's policeman uniform to impress his girlfriend, but then he gets in trouble and his brother is blamed and his girlfriend leaves him, so he decides to commit suicide by hiring a friend to kill him for $10, but then his brother and girlfriend forgive him, but he has to figure out how to stop the friend from killing him!) starring Barbara Kent, Arthur Lake (later famous for playing Dagwood Bumstead in the "Blondie" series of movies), George Siegmann, Eddie Gribbon, and Joe Girard. Note that this plot of a man hiring someone to kill him and then changing his mind was likely old in 1928, and it has been used many, many times since. 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 we have previously auctioned three examples of this lobby card, and one of those examples has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still only one of three examples we have ever auctioned! 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: good. There is a long diagonal scuff line in the upper left that runs down through the woman's head and arm, but it is not very distracting. 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! We previously auctioned this card, and when the buyer reconsigned it, it acquired small creases in the bottom-left blank corner that were not there when we sold it the first time (see our image).
