An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More)

Trilby, the 1923 James Young silent Paris France evil-hypnotist-turns-simple-girl-into-great-singer melodrama ("Richard Walton Tully presents his screen version of George DuMaurier's famous novel") starring Andree Lafayette (in the title role as Trilby; billed as "The celebrated French star"), Creighton Hale, Arthur Edmund Carewe (as Svengali), Philo McCullough, and Francis McDonald (as Gecko). Note that this classic story had been adapted into a movie seven times prior to this adaptation, and in 1931, John Barrymore played Svengali, and there was a 1954 version as well! Also, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist.

Artist: Archie Gunn
Important Added Info: Note that for this set of lobby cards, First National had each one have an artwork image, and all of them somewhat appear to be "title cards". However, there is one of the artwork cards that has full credits, and that one IS the title card, and the other seven are scene cards.

What IS paperbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to paperbacking, the card was folded down the middle and it had a thin strip of paper loss on part of that fold, but solely in the white area. It had paper loss in the left half of the bottom border, but only blank white paper. It had some tiny paper loss and pinholes in the rest of the borders, and some smudges scattered in the background areas. Overall, the lobby card was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The card was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
