Auction History Result 6c531 LA BOHEME 8x10 LC '26 pretty Lillian Gish & Roy D'Arcy, directed by King Vidor! Date Sold 2/23/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Lobby Card (Learn More) La Boheme, the 1926 King Vidor silent Paris France romantic melodrama ("Suggested by Henry Murger's 'Life in the Latin Quarter'"; set in 1830s Paris, about a group of poor artists and writers who meet a beautiful seamstress, and about all of their struggles to succeed, and also just to survive) starring Lillian Gish, John Gilbert, Renee Adoree, Roy D'Arcy, Karl Dane, Frank Currier, George Hassell, Edward Everett Horton, and "other stars". Note that Puccini's famous 1896 opera of this name was based on Murger's 1851 novel, and this movie only credits the novel and not Puccini or his opera, so we suspect that had something to do with MGM only buying the rights to the novel and not the opera. There were several silent versions of this prior to this movie and many sound versions after it! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that, in the early days of movie making, when lobby cards were first made (around 1915), studios would issue sets of the cards in two sizes; the regular 11" x 14" size, and a smaller 8" x 10" size. The cards were identical in every way except for the different size. This practice continued through the early 1920s, at which point the studios abandoned the smaller lobby cards, likely because theaters either ordered 11" x 14" lobby cards or 8" x 10" stills, and did not order enough of the 8" x 10" lobby cards to justify them continuing to make them. Condition: good to very good. Someone wrote the stars' names and the title at the bottom of the card in pen, but otherwise, it is in nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
