    Description

    ITEM: This is a vintage and original Paramount Pictures lobby card advertising the 1928 silent crime-drama film
    The Drag Net
    (also released as
    The Dragnet
    ). Based on the story "Nightstick" by Oliver H.P. Garrett, the film was directed by Josef von Sternberg and starred George Bancroft, Evelyn Brent, and William Powell.
    The Drag Net
    is considered to be lost, making artifacts such as this one the only insight we have into what the film actually looked like.
    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.
