A 1919 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More)

The Greatest Thing In Life, the 1918 D.W. Griffith silent World War I (WWI) romantic melodrama ("Personally Directed by D.W. Griffith"; "Story by Capt. Victor Marier"; about a New York City girl who goes to France to find love, but, after misadventures, she realizes the error of her ways) starring David Butler, Lillian Gish, Robert Harron, Peaches Jackson, and Adolph Lestina. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist.
NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card is printed on a thin paper, much lighter than that used for most 1910s and 1920s lobby cards. This was an experiment done by a couple of studios in 1918 and 1919 (perhaps to save money), but it appears that theaters did not like these thinner lobby cards (which tore more easily), and by 1920, all studios were back to using thick card stock for their lobby cards.

Condition: very good. There is a 1" tear in the right of the bottom border that was repaired with tape from the back, and two tiny tears near the center of the top blank border. There are pinholes in the corners.
