Auction History Result 4f0575 SUNNYSIDE LC R1920s tired Charlie Chaplin yawning while sitting on the edge of his bed! Date Sold 5/9/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1920s) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Sunnyside, the 1919 Charles Chaplin multiple reel silent comedy short ("His Third Million Dollar Comedy"; "I'll never leave my dear old farm") starring Charlie Chaplin (Charles Chaplin), Edna Purviance, Tom Wilson (a large white man who specialized in playing black roles in the early silent days when studios were reluctant to hire African Americans; he would put burnt cork on his face and skin!; he appeared in The Kid, but not in a black role), Tom Terriss, Henry Bergman, Loyal Underwood, and Tom Wood (nicknamed "Fatty") NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that 99% of collectors would assume this lobby card is from the first release of this classic movie. But in 1919 when this movie was made, First National printed "thin paper" lobby cards, and the original cards from this movie are on thin paper (and there are 9 cards in the set). There is also an 8 card set on heavier paper that is surely from an early 1920s re-release (probably 1923). Both of the above sets say "First National" on them. To complicate matters even more, there is still a third kind of card, also on heavier paper, but these do not say "First National", and so we assume they are surely from a different early 1920s re-release (Chaplin was INCREDIBLY popular at this time, and it would make total sense that there might be two re-releases within a few years). The card offered here is from the early re-release on typical heavier paper stock, but from the release WITHOUT "First National" on the cards. Condition: good. The card was displayed in a frame, which caused it to darken unevenly around the edges, and the back of the card has also darkened. There is water staining on the back of the right 1-2" of the card, and some of it very slightly shows through to the front. There are pieces of white tape on the back of each corner, where it was once attached to a mat. This is the sort of card that responds really well to professional restoration. It is likely that much or all of the water stains and darkening can be removed through chemical means, and after proper restoration, the card will look fantastic. Learn More about condition grades
