An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More)

Mlle. (Mademoiselle) Modiste, the 1926 Robert Z. Leonard France silent romantic comedy ("Adapted from the famous operetta written by Henry Blossom and composed by Victor Herbert"; about a salesgirl in a French dress shop who is set up in her own shop by a rich American, and he renames her Mlle. Modiste, and her boyfriend misunderstands, and thinks she has become a prostitute!) starring Corinne Griffith, Norman Kerry, Willard Louis, Dorothy Cumming, and Rose Dione. Note that this was an adaptation of an operetta into a silent film, so there couldn't be any music or singing, but the operetta was remade in 1931 as "Kiss Me Again", starring Bernice Claire and Walter Pidgeon. Also note that online databases list this movie is titled "Mademoiselle Modiste", but the posters clearly have "Mlle. Modiste" instead. We wonder if it was actually called "Mademoiselle Modiste" on its first release. Does anyone know one way or the other?

Important Added Info: Note that this is a hand-colored card. In the days of silent movies prior to the invention of good quality full-color printing, studios would have lobby cards printed in black and white and then amazingly would hire women to hand-color the cards one at a time (apparently labor was very cheap at the time)! So, each card is colored slightly differently, and the coloring is never a perfect match. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE COLORING ON THIS CARD HAS SLIGHTLY "RUN" AND HAS STAINED THE BORDERS AND THAT IT HAS RUN IN THE BACKGROUND AREA BEHIND GRIFFITH'S SHOULDERS.
