Date Sold 12/15/2016Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 10" x 13 1/4" [25 x 34 cm]) (Learn More) Tillie's Punctured Romance, the 1928 A. Edward Sutherland silent circus screwball comedy (produced by Al Christie; about the ringmaster of a circus, played by W.C. Fields, who schemes to get the owner of the circus into the lion cage, so he will be killed and the ringmaster will take over, and later, he ends up using the circus animals to help the troops in World War I!) starring W.C. Fields, Chester Conklin, Louise Fazenda (in the title role as Tillie), Mack Swain, Doris Hill, and Babe London (a large heavyset woman who was very typecast in comedy roles involving large women). Note that this movie bears no relation to the 1914 Charlie Chaplin movie of the same name, but because this movie is a "lost movie" (no known examples of it exist), it is often mistakenly described as a remake, when all the two movies have in common is the same name. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that movie paper of any kind from this W.C. Fields silent movie is incredibly scarce. In 2013, we auctioned a half-sheet from this title, and now we have this single lobby card, and those are the only two movie paper items we have ever seen from it. Also note that this lobby card has been trimmed and it now measures 10" x 13 1/4" [25 x 34 cm]. 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. The blank borders were trimmed off. There are faint stains and red pen writing in the right border area (mostly only affecting blank white paper). There is a 1/2" tear in the upper right blank border that was repaired with clear tape from the back. There are faint stains and tape remnants on the back of the bottom of the card, but they have no effect on the front. While this card has very clear defects, it certainly is an ideal candidate for restoration, because the vast majority of it will be the blank borders and the white background areas.
