Item Number: LC-MANSLGHTR-SC2
|
Vintage original 11 x 14 in. (27.9 x 35.6 cm.) U.S. lobby card, fine condition.
Produced by Paramount Pictures in 1922, Manslaughter was directed by Cecil B. DeMille and co-stars Leatrice Joy and Thomas Meighan. This silent film melodrama features the tagline "For the rich and poor, the beautiful and plain-there's only one law! She has broken it and must pay!" The image depicts the film's leading characters, Lydia Thorne (Leatrice Joy) and Daniel J. O'Bannon (Thomas Meighan), in a dramatic embrace. The background features a striking bulleye's design of turquoise and purple which is surrounded by green on either side. The lower border artwork features a scene of a speeding automobile (presumably with Lydia Thorne at the wheel) being chased by a motorcycle policeman as it's about to collide with a locomotive at a railroad crossing.
This lobby card is in very fine condition with two pinholes in each upper corner and a very small crease at each lower corner. There is a 2.5 in. diagonal jagged crease in the sleeve of Meighan's jacket just to the right of his white shirt cuff which extends slightly upwards into the red of Miss Joy's dress; and a small chip and a bit of wear on the upper border near the left corner. The colors are extremely fresh and vibrant and this lobby card was created during Paramount's brief period where they used striking solid colors for the background areas, creating some incredibly beautiful images. Paramount lobby cards from this brief period are highly sought-after by collectors.
Manslaughter; Paramount Pictures; 1922; dir: Cecil B. DeMille; cast: Leatrice Joy, Thomas Meighan, Lois Wilson, John Miltern, George Fawcett.
