Original Vintage Theatrical Lobby Card (Measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) The Nut, the 1921 Theodore Reed silent romantic inventor social injustice comedy (written and produced by Douglas Fairbanks; about a very eccentric man who is an excellent inventor, but he loves a woman whose only interest is in helping slum children, and the inventor tries to interest his wealthy friends into helping make his girlfriend's dream a reality) starring Douglas Fairbanks Sr., Marguerite De La Motte, William Lowery, Gerald Pring, Morris Hughes, and Barbara La Marr. Note that most film buffs nowadays only know of Douglas Fairbanks Sr. as a swashbuckling hero from the 1920s, but in the 1910s, he appeared in a number of romantic comedies, and this was the last of those before he turned to the epic movies. There is an early sequence in the movie where inventor Fairbanks is shown getting ready in the morning with help from many odd inventions, and it was very "Keaton-esque"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a hand-colored card. In the days of silent film prior to the invention of good quality full-color printing, studios would have lobby cards printed in black and white and then amazingly would hire women to hand-color the cards one at a time (apparently labor was very cheap at the time)! So, each card is colored slightly differently, and the coloring is never a perfect match. Condition: good to very good. The left of the bottom border has many pieces missing, but it is almost entirely the borders and not the image that is affected. Learn More about condition grades
