Lobby card is in very good condition has wear around the edges
Under the auspices of United Artists, Talmadge made only two more silent films, "The Dove" (1927) and "The Woman Disputed" (1928), both of which were flops at the box office. Meanwhile, sound pictures had begun taking over the industry and Talmadge  who spoke in a thick Brooklyn accent worked hard with voice coaches in order to make a successful transition to talkies. But all her hard work failed to pay off in the two sound films she made, "New York Nights" (1929) and "Du Barry, Woman of Passion" (1930), which were both heavily criticized and ended up box office flops. Already frustrated with making movies, Talmadge realized her time was at an end and lost interest in continuing her career, safe with the knowledge that both Schenck and her mother amassed a fortune for her. Without money problems, Talmadge retired and married comedian George Jessel in 1934, only to divorce five years later. Meanwhile, she jet-setted around the world, entertained guests, and commiserated with her sisters, who were also out of the Hollywood game. In 1946, she married Beverly Hills physician Carvel James and retreated into a life of seclusion that was mired by worsening arthritis. After a series of strokes, Talmadge died from pneumonia on Dec. 24, 1957, being the first of the three sisters to pass away. She was just 63 years old, and was remembered alongside Mary Pickford and Lillian Gish as one of the greatest actresses of the silent era.
