Date Sold 11/14/2019Sold 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) One Exciting Night, the 1922 D.W. Griffith silent family relationship romantic love triangle mystery crime murder thriller (about a pretty young woman who is romanced by a rich man who has a hold over her mother, but she falls in love with a young man who is accused of a murder he didn't commit) starring Carol Dempster, Henry Hull, Porter Strong, Morgan Wallace, and Charles Croker-King. Note that Porter Strong was a white actor who played a black character in this movie called "Romeo Washington". It was the worst sort of black stereotype characterization, which might surprise those who thought that D.W. Griffith had changed after the negative criticism of The Birth of a Nation, but of course, such characterizations were standard at this time, and continued through the 1940s.
