Date Sold 7/26/2015Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 2 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Lobby Card (Learn More) The Gilded Spider, the 1916 Joseph De Grasse silent family relationship revenge murder rape melodrama (a very complicated story of an Italian man in Italy whose wife is kidnapped by an American, and she kills herself rather than submit to him; the husband is left with a baby daughter, and many years later, he travels to America with his now grown daughter, and she falls in love with an American, and the father wants to stop it, but the man who caused his wife's death shows up, and after a bizarre confrontation, both men die, which allows the daughter to marry the American man she loves) starring Louise Lovely (in a dual role as mother and daughter), Lon Chaney Sr. (as the Italian husband/father), Lule Warrenton, Gilmore Hammond, and Marjorie Ellison. Note that after appearing in dozens of minor film roles in 1913 to 1916, Lon Chaney finally got a few starring roles, and this was one of his first. It would not be for several more years before he started to get lead roles in crime movies, and of course, it was not until the early 1920s that he became a major horror actor! Also note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that, in the early days of movie making, when lobby cards were first made (around 1915), studios would issue sets of the cards in two sizes; the regular 11" x 14" size, and a smaller 8" x 10" size. The cards were identical in every way except for the different size. This practice continued through the early 1920s, at which point the studios abandoned the smaller lobby cards, likely because theaters either ordered 11" x 14" lobby cards or 8" x 10" stills, and did not order enough of the 8" x 10" lobby cards to justify them continuing to make them.
