eMoviePoster.comAuction History Result 3x879 ROLL ALONG LC '23 Natalie Joyce in blackface with two dusky charmers in cotton field! Date Sold 1/15/2017Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Roll Along, the 1923 Scott Sidney silent Educational Pictures comedy short ("Christie Comedies") starring Jimmie Adams (as Rastus Jones), Natalie Joyce (as Mandy), William Irving (as Suwanee Sam), Babe London (as Sistah Dinah), and Ward Caulfield (as Mammy). Talk about politically incorrect! This "comedy" has white actors in blackface playing the worst kinds of racial stereotypes (in one lobby card, a "black" suitor offers her a bouquet of cotton, picked from the field). Thankfully, this is a dim part of film history, but it is fascinating! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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: good. The card was folded down the middle, but it is almost invisible from the front. Someone put tape on the back of that area. There are pinholes, stains, and some tiny paper loss around the edges.
