An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) No Sale, the 1928 George Marshall silent slapstick comedy short ("Smitty and his pals") starring Donald Haines (as Smitty), Jackie Combs, Maude Truax, Joseph Belmont, and Lloyd Hamilton. Note that IMDB has the title as "Smitty No Sale", but posters prove the title is simply "No Sale". Also, note that Smitty was a comic strip created by Walter Berndt in 1922. It was about a 13 year old office boy, his girlfriend, his 6 year old brother, and his dog, who were collectively referred to as "His Pals". Berndt based it on his own real life experiences as an office boy. For the first ten years of the strip, Berndt used the same gimmick simultaneously used in "Gasoline Alley", where Smitty aged a year each year the strip went by, so by 1932, Smitty was 23 years old! The strip ran until 1973. In 1928 and 1929, there were ten Pathe comedy shorts based on this comic strip, but those strayed away from the source subject matter and instead were more like Our Gang comedies (which were at that time extremely successful). Movie paper from any of those shorts is extremely rare (they likely made only a one-sheet, a three-sheet and a set of 4 duotone lobby cards for each short, and surely few theaters ordered them).

We have only previously auctioned a one-sheet from this movie (we auctioned the same one-sheet twice, 21 years ago and 18 years ago), and NO other movie paper, until we received this lobby card! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: very good. There is a tiny tape repair in the lower left blank border. Learn More about condition grades
