Original First National Pictures Scene Lobby Card (11×14) for the Frank Capra silent comedy, LONG PANTS (1927) starring Harry Langdon, Gladys Brockwell, Alan Roscoe, and Priscilla Bonner. Harry (Langdon) has been kept in knee pants for years by his overprotective parents, but the day finally comes when he is given his first pair of long pants. His parents expect him to marry his childhood sweetheart, but Harry is much more interested in Bebe—a “fast” woman from the big city. Langdon’s brief career as a top-ranked silent comic was “meteoric” when he has signed to make comic shorts for the Mack Sennett Studio in 1923. By the 1930s, however, he was just another aging trouper, slogging his way through low-budget remakes of his best silent work. This original scene lobby card is in very fine plus condition.

Original RKO Scene Lobby Card (11×14) for the Frank Capra dramatic masterpiece, IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE (1946) starring James Stewart, Donna Reed, Gloria Grahame and Lionel Barrymore. This film has enduring popularity because Stewart’s character is the kind of every man we can all identify with when he confronts the “richest and meanest man in town,” demonically portrayed by Barrymore. The film received five Academy Award nominations—including Best Picture, Best Director for Capra, and Best Actor for Stewart. In this lobby card, we see Stewart confronting the despot Barrymore in a key scene. There are some small holes and spots in the image area, some surface paper loss on the left border, and faint foxing and scuffing. This original scene lobby card is overall in very good condition.
