Mong, Phyllis Haver, "And a Superb Cast". Note that the world premiere program for this movie mentions that "18 of the 40 men now alive who went into Belleau Woods during the famous battle appear in the movie". It also mentions that "85% of the men playing soldiers in this movie are actual war veterans who fought overseas" and that "every gun, cannon, grenade and other implement of war used" in the movie were actually used in World War I! Also note that John Ford remade this movie in 1952, with James Cagney in the lead role. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Jochimsen Important Added Info: note that these are two very rare scene cards from this movie! We have not auctioned these two particular scene cards since we auctioned two complete sets of these cards in 1990 and 1994. Also note that William Fox went all out on the lobby cards for this movie (because it was sure to be a major release), and each was printed on a heavier-than-normal paper stock with a full-color Jochimsen artwork image, and the printing is slightly textured (it looks really great in person)! Condition: good to very good. The card pictured at bottom has been slightly trimmed along the lower blank border. It has a few areas of outer blank border loss and a crease at lower left. Other than a few scuffs the card is in pretty nice condition. The card pictured at top has discoloration scattered throughout due to exposure to moisture. It is most noticeable in the borders, but it does affect a small portions of the art at lower left, and several areas of the art at right, and the right half of the card is very slightly rippled. There is a stray pencil mark in Del Rio's cheek and hand at left. The card is otherwise "all there" and it could certainly be restored and display well. Please see our super-sized images and carefully read our condition description to get a good sense of the condition of these very rare lobby cards (especially in consideration of the fact that they are in two different conditions) prior to placing a bid.
