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 lobby cards from Goldwyn movies of this time 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" Goldwyn lobby cards over the years!
UPDATED 04/13/2016: Note that a knowledgeable collector pointed out that this previously unknown movie is "The Floor Below", and we have updated the auction accordingly. Condition: fair to good. There is paper loss in the left border extending into the background and pinholes in the corners. 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
