    Saturday's Children
    . The film is directed by Gregory La Cava, and stars Corinne Griffith, Grant Withers, Albert Conti, Alma Tell, Lucien Littlefield. It is based on the 1927 play

    by Maxwell Anderson. It was released by Warner Bros. on March 10, 1929 in silent version and April 14, 1929 in sound version. The film is now considered lost.
    Small posters on card stock (usually 11" x 14" in a horizontal format), lobby cards were generally produced in sets of eight, intended for display in a theatre's foyer or lobby. A lobby set typically consists of one Title Card (a lobby card of special design usually depicting all key stars, listing credits, and intended to represent the entire film rather than a single scene) and seven Scene Cards (each depicting a scene from the movie). Lobby cards are no longer used in theatres today.
    This lobby card measures 14" x 11".
    Guaranteed to be 100% vintage and original from Grapefruit Moon Gallery.
    More about Corinne Griffith:
    Corinne Griffith was a popular star of the silent movies. She started her film career at Vitagraph in 1916 and later moved to First National, where she became one of that studio's biggest stars. At the height of her popularity she was known as the "Orchid Lady of the Screen." Black Oxen (1923) was one of her most popular films. In 1925 she made Déclassé (1925), which featured a young extra named Clark Gable.
    Corinne received an Academy Award nomination for her work in The Divine Lady (1928), but sound did not embrace her in the same way that the silent films had. Music was a popular device used in many early sound movies, but she quickly proved that she was not cut out to be a singer, and the fact that her acting style remained rooted in the wooden pre-sound days didn't help matters. Her last Hollywood film was released in 1930. After appearing in an English film in 1932, she retired. She appeared in one final film, Paradise Alley (1962), a low-budget Hugo Haas potboiler.
