An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Movie Title Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Laugh, Clown, Laugh, the 1928 Herbert Brenon silent romantic love triangle circus doomed romantic melodrama ("From the play by David Belasco and Tom Cushing"; Chaney is a circus clown who adopts an orphan girl, and when she grows up, he falls in love with her, but he is 30 years older than her, and she finds someone she likes better, and he basically commits suicide doing an impossible circus stunt) starring Lon Chaney Sr., Bernard Siegel, Loretta Young (in her first real role; she was just 15 years-old at the time, and had had bit parts for 10 years previous as a child actress!), Cissy Fitzgerald, Nils Asther, and Gwen Lee. This sounds like it should be a Tod Browning movie, with its extremely creepy plot, and a real life 15 year-old playing love scenes with a man older than her father, but it is not (it is based on a play by celebrated authors David Belasco and Tom Cushing)! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good to very good. The card has been professionally paperbacked. Prior to paperbacking, it was in good condition. The blank borders were all trimmed, but the small writing at the bottom of the card was NOT trimmed off. There were pinholes and some paper loss in each of the corners of the image, and the entire card was folded vertically 4" from the right edge. There were smudges around the edges of the card and in the solid background colored areas. All of the above were extremely well restored, and the card now really looks really nice (although you can see signs of the restoration from inches away). Please do not bid on this card unless you can accept the restoration it has had. Learn More about condition grades
