Auction History Result 4d0181 WHY WORRY 9x22 WC 1923 great art of Harold Lloyd in his six reel Pathecomedy, ultra rare! Date Sold 5/3/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 9" x 21 3/4" [23 x 55 cm]) (Learn More) Why Worry, the 1923 Fred C. Newmeyer & Sam Taylor silent adventure romantic comedy ("His latest six reel Pathecomedy"; about a hypochondriac who is advised to go to the tropics and take advantage of the fresh air, but he ends up in the middle of a revolution) starring Harold Lloyd, Jobyna Ralston, John Aasen, Wallace Howe, Jim Mason, Leo White, and Gaylord Lloyd (Harold's brother!). Gaylord Lloyd greatly resembled his brother Harold, and in 1921, he starred in a series of comedy shorts, but they were not that successful, and he began doubling for his brother and having some bit parts in his brother's movies. Also note that John Aasen was a Norwegian giant who appeared in ten movies between 1923 and 1936, often uncredited. He first appeared as "Colosso" in this movie, and he appeared with the Our Gang kids as a circus giant in "Growing Pains". He died in 1938 at the age of 48. He was advertised as being 8' 9", but this is almost certainly an extreme exaggeration, for it was common at the time to add at least one foot to the height of tall men in circuses, and in 2008, his skeleton was measured and he was discovered to have been 7' 2". If anyone knows more about John Aasen, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned three lobby cards and a few stills from this movie until we received this special window card, which measures 9" x 21 3/4" (we have no idea why they made it this different size, but it is surely a window card, both because it is on standard window card paper, and it has a blank area at the top! Condition: good. There is paper loss in the top and bottom borders, slightly affecting the border at top and the background at bottom. There are some smudges and tiny stains around the edges, with a scuff mark in the lower right pink background area. The card has had no restoration of any kind. It can be displayed as it is, or one might choose to have restoration performed. Either way, the new owner will have an incredibly rare poster to display on their wall!
