Make 'em laugh And roar out load But watch me waving In the crowd.'"; "Highbrow Student and Sap Athlete"; about a bookworm college student whose girlfriend says she will dump him if he doesn't become an athlete, so he has to find a sport he can succeed in) starring Buster Keaton, Anne Cornwall, Flora Bramley, Harold Goodwin, and Snitz Edwards. Note that there is a great irony in the plot of this movie, which is that Buster Keaton was playing a young man hopeless at sports, when he was actually extremely coordinated and athletic, so he had difficulty pretending not to be! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Hap Hadley Important Added Info: Note that movie paper from this classic Buster Keaton comedy is incredibly rare. In all our years of auctioning, we have only auctioned a single half-sheet (which sold for $3,734), a lobby card (which sold for $732), and a few stills, until we were consigned this second lobby 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: good. The card had been trimmed to 9" x 12", which deleted all the blank borders and some of the border design, but only had the slightest effect on the actual images or title. Some amateur restorer many years ago took another lobby card and trimmed an inside portion of it out, so that the two cards could be merged together. They then did restoration of the border design and also some restoration in the image, where there were some pinholes, stains, and smudges. The card displays pretty well, and you can get a good sense of how this restoration was done by joining the two cards with much tape on the back by looking at our super-sized images. Please do not bid on this card unless you have read all of the above carefully. Learn More about condition grades
