An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Pay Day, the 1922 Charlie Chaplin (billed as "Charles Chaplin") silent romantic slapstick 2-reel comedy short ("It's worth a years salary to see - Charles Chaplin in 'Pay Day'"; "Written and directed by Charles Chapin"; which features Chaplin as an expert bricklayer!) starring Charlie Chaplin (Charles Chaplin), Phyllis Allen, Mack Swain, Edna Purviance, Syd Chaplin, Albert Austin, John Rand, Loyal Underwood, Henry Bergman, and Al Ernest Garcia NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that lobby cards from this early Charlie Chaplin 2-reeler have always been scarce. In all our years of auctioning, we have only auctioned a title card and five scene cards, but two of those were duplicated, so we had only previously seen four of the eight cards. Now we have been consigned a rare complete set of 8 cards, which we are auctioning individually! Note that this card features a great image of Chaplin in a butcher shop, and he is holding on to a hanging sausage, while he reads his paper, and the butcher is yelling at him "Hot Dog! Some Strap Hanger!". 85 years later, the joke still makes sense, because people still hang on to straps in New York City subways and read their newspapers! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: very good. This card measures slightly under 11" high, and it has a very small amount of space above the title at top center. But we DON'T think it is trimmed, because we have auctioned two other examples of this card, and both were the same way. The card also measures slightly OVER 14" wide, so we just think that the trimming back in 1922 was not as uniform as it was a few years later, when all lobby cards measured exactly 11" x 14". The top left blank corner was detached at one time, and someone repaired it with tape from the back. There are a few faint smudges around the edges. Otherwise, the card is in pretty nice condition!
