MANSLAUGHTER (1922) Lobby card – 3

$300.00

Vintage original 11 x 14″ (28 x 35 cm.) lobby card, USA. Leatrice Joy, Thomas Meighan, Lois Wilson, John Miltern, George Fawcett, dir: Cecil B. DeMille, Paramount. Fine.

Highly moralistic tale of a rich, fast woman who learns that real meaning in life comes when she can be of service to others. She kills a motorcycle cop while speeding, goes to prison and becomes reformed. Of course, DeMille found it necessary to show as much of the “sin” as possible, which included flashback scenes to ancient Rome including reenactments of orgies and lesbianism.

Nice decoupage-style art and wonderful colors.
