Auction History Result 7s689 WOMAN WISE LC '28 young Walter Pidgeon watches Arab guy kiss June Coller's hand! Date Sold 12/9/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Woman Wise, the 1928 Albert Ray silent romantic comedy melodrama (apparently a comic thriller involving some Arab guys) starring June Collyer, William Russell, Walter Pidgeon, Theodore Kosloff, and Ernest Shields. Note that Walter Pidgeon was born in 1897, and started making silent movies in the mid 1920s, but he had limited success. He had a wonderful speaking voice, but that did not lead to stardom in early sound movies. Finally, in 1937, at the age of 40, MGM put him under contract, but still limited him to supporting roles. His "big break" finally came in 1941 with "How Green Was My Valley", and he became one of MGM's top stars of the early 1940s (no doubt helped by so many other male stars being away at war). He stayed with MGM for the remainder of his career. Note that we could not find any additional information about this movie. There are people with Arab names in the cast, and it sounds interesting! The pressbook has a separate story that says "Walter Pidgeon began a singer"! If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
