An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Legion of the Condemned, the 1928 William A. Wellman silent World War I (WWI) military spy espionage romantic airplane aviation thriller ("A toast to those who laugh at death"; "They courted Danger - they laughed at Death - these men of - The Legion of the Condemned"; "Story by John Monk Saunders"; about a young American man who, during World War I, finds his girl in the arms of a German officer, and he joins the French Air Legion, and later he is ordered to drop a female spy behind enemy lines, and it turns out that it is his girlfriend, who was gaining information on the German he saw her with, so they are reconciled, but then both are captured by the Germans!) starring Fay Wray, Gary Cooper, Barry Norton, Lane Chandler, Francis McDonald, George Voya, and Freeman Wood. William Wellman had made "Wings" the previous year, and Paramount wanted him to use as much of the outtake footage from "Wings" as possible, so they could "get their money's worth". But when the film was ready, Wings was still doing wonderfully at the box office, and the studio ordered the stock footage cut out, so it wouldn't hurt how well Wings was doing! 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 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. The card had staining in the left of Cooper's face, above and below his eye. It had some stains scattered around the edges, with some pinholes, tears, and paper loss in the top and bottom borders. Overall, the card was in fair condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the card (meaning they backed the card onto a gel material) and they then performed restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, so that the card still looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. Given the card's defects described above, the restorer did a pretty good job, but you can clearly see signs of the defects and the restoration in the side of Cooper's face, although the card will still display pretty well on the new owner's wall (see our super-sized images to get a good sense of exactly how the card looks now).
