An Original Vintage Movie Trade Ad (measures 9 1/2" x 12 1/2" [24 x 32 cm]; 1 page) (Learn More) Lassie Come Home, the classic 1943 Fred M. Wilcox collie canine dog family melodrama ("The picture that's true to life!"; "Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Technicolor Triumph!"; "Based on the novel by Eric Knight, author of 'This Above All'"; "Eric Knight's great dog story 'Lassie Come Home'"; "All the thrilling and amazing tricks that made Lassie the most famous dog in the world.") starring Roddy McDowall, Donald Crisp, Dame May Whitty, Edmund Gwenn, Nigel Bruce, Elsa Lanchester, Lassie (in the title role), and Elizabeth Taylor. Note that this was Elizabeth Taylor's second movie, when she was 10 years old, and she had very low billing in this movie and the previous one. She would have two more movie roles with no billing at all in "Jane Eyre" and "White Cliffs of Dover", but then in 1945, she starred in "National Velvet", which made her a star. So her next movie, which was two years later, was a sequel to this movie called "Courage of Lassie", and she was given star billing, after having been seventh billed in this movie (and un-billed on the posters!)

Artist: Jacques Kapralik Important Added Info: From the 1920s on, studios would create elaborate trade ads, often in full color, and often using the finest artists of the day. They would run these ads in their studio yearbooks and exhibitor magazines, and they would also print those trade ads separately and mail them individually to theater owners, trying to get them to book that specific movie. Sometimes those books and magazines are separated and the ads, which now greatly resemble the individually printed trade ads, are sold individually. The trade ad offered here was removed from an issue of Lion's Roar (it is on the inside of the front cover). It can be framed and displayed! Condition: good to very good. The trade ad was removed from a magazine (it is the inside front cover; see above). There are some faint smudges around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
