Important Added Info: Note that cinema pioneer Samuel Goldwyn (one of the founders of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) conducted an interesting experiment with lobby cards in late 1918, 1919, and part of 1920. He had all of the 1919 lobby cards from Goldwyn movies made in a special way. The title card was like a normal title card, but all of the seven scene cards did not have the title of the movie printed anywhere on them! Obviously, theater owners hated the experiment, because it meant they could not tell which movie the scene cards were from unless they had specifically seen the movie. Similarly, lobby card collectors have the same problem, and we have sold many "unknown" 1919 Goldwyn lobby cards over the years! In the case of this specific card, we know it to be from the movie "Perfect 36", because it was identified for us by a Mabel Normand expert. Condition: very good. The card has a pinhole in each corner and some creases and scuffs scattered in the image. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
