An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Red Hair, the 1928 Clarence G. Badger silent romantic comedy (based on the novel "by Elinor Glyn"; about a manicurist who wants to find a rich husband, and when her boyfriends find out she is just a gold digger, they tell her off at a fancy party, and she responds by throwing down the jewels and fancy gown she was given, and jumping in a swimming pool!) starring Clara Bow (as Bubbles McCoy, "a cute little cuticle cutter"), Lane Chandler, William Austin, Jacqueline Gadsden, and Lawrence Grant. Note that this is a "lost" film which means that only fragments of the film are thought to exist (including the only surviving footage of Clara Bow in Technicolor). Note that Clara Bow was the most famous "flapper girl" of the mid to late 1920s (she became known as "The It Girl" after the character she played based on the popular novel by Elinor Glyn). She had a major role in Wings, and was Paramount's biggest star at that time. But she had a notorious private life and seemingly "settled down" when she married cowboy star Rex Bell in 1931 (she had two children and she retired from movies), but sadly in 1949 she went into a mental institution after a failed suicide attempt (she had had psychiatric issues for quite some time) and she was released but never returned to her family, and lived alone until her death in 1965.

We auctioned a complete set of cards from this movie in 1990, but in the years since, we have only had a single scene lobby card, and never again this wonderful title card. 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: good. There are brown water stains scattered throughout the card, more so in the bottom and right. There are creases scattered in the bottom one-quarter of the card, with a pinhole in each top corner and a tiny tear at bottom center. This is the sort of card that responds really well to professional restoration. It is likely that much or all of the water stains can be removed through chemical means, after which the card will look fantastic!
