An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Lobby Card (Learn More) I Want to Forget, the 1918 James Kirkwood silent family relationship melodrama ("In which a butterfly redeems her soul in the Secret Service"; "Written and staged by James Kirwood") starring Evelyn Nesbit, Russell Thaw (billed as "Her Son"), Henry Clive, Alphonse Ethier, and William R. Dunn. Note of course, that Evelyn Nesbit was the woman at the center of the murder of architect Stanford White (her husband murdered White, who Nesbit was having an affair with, and because his family was rich and powerful, he was put in a mental institution for a short while and released). After the murder, and the huge publicity it received, Nesbit dropped her husband's name and made a series of movies, and most of them were like this one where she played a fallen woman of one sort or another!

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.
