Note that this movie was written by Frances Marion from a novel by May Edginton. The plot of the movie has a lot in common with Preston Sturges' 1942 movie "The Palm Beach Story", and one wonders if Sturges hadn't seen this movie and used the basic plot, adding comedy elements. 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 ANY movie paper items from this movie are incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a scene lobby card and two heralds from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received 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. The card had tiny pinholes in the borders, with tiny paper loss in small parts of the borders. Overall, the card was in very good condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the card (meaning they backed the card onto a gel material) and they then performed excellent restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, so that the card still exactly looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. You can see slight signs of the restoration, but the card displays really well! Learn More about condition grades
