Date Sold 3/17/2009Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (11x14; LC; measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Growing Pains, the 1928 Robert A. McGowan Our Gang family juvenile comedy short (produced by Hal Roach) starring Joe Cobb, Allen 'Farina' Hoskins, Bobby 'Wheezer' Hutchins, Mary Ann Jackson, Jackie Condon, and John Aasen. Note that John Aasen was a Norwegian giant who appeared in ten movies between 1923 and 1936, often uncredited. He first appeared as "Colosso" in Harold Lloyd's "Why Worry?", and he appeared with the Our Gang kids as a circus giant in this movie. He died in 1938 at the age of 48. He was advertised as being 8' 9", but this is almost certainly an extreme exaggeration, for it was common at the time to add at least one foot to the height of tall men in circuses, and in 2008, his skeleton was measured and he was discovered to have been 7' 2". If anyone knows more about John Aasen, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist.
