An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Lady Be Good, the 1928 Richard Wallace silent romantic vaudeville magic comedy (about an engaged couple who work as magicians in vaudeville, and they have an argument and split up; they both do poorly while they are separated, and the girl gets hired as his assistant without him knowing it, and they are reunited, both personally and professionally) starring Jack Mulhall (as Mysterio the Magician), Dorothy Mackaill, John Mijian, Nita Martan, and Dot Farley. There is an oddity about this movie. Some sources say that it is an earlier version of the 1941 George Gershwin musical, "Lady Be Good", but other sources don't say that. We know the song "Oh Lady Be Good" was written by Gershwin for a 1924 musical, and it might well have originally been intended for this movie, but not used. And this movie is listed on IMDb as a silent film, but there is a "libretto" credited, which would seem to indicate it had songs, and we have seen it referred to as a "musical", so maybe it started out as a musical sound movie and ended up a silent! So we are very confused, and unfortunately, this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist, so we can't view it to find out. If anyone knows more about this (through contemporary reference books), please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good to fine. There is a pinhole in each corner. Otherwise, the card is in really nice condition. 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
