Beware Of Blondes (1928) Title Card Dorothy and 50 similar items

Vintage original 11x14 in. U.S. title lobby card from the silent film jewel robbery-themed melodrama, BEWARE OF BLONDES, released in 1928 by Columbia Pictures and directed by George B. Seitz. Jeffrey Black (Matt Moore), a clerk in a jewelry store, prevents a robbery there and, as a reward, is given a vacation in Honolulu, provided that he transport a valuable emerald to the Islands. On the boat, he meets Mary (Dorothy Revier), a blonde, and having been warned against a thief called Blonde Mary, he regards her every action with suspicion while simultaneously falling in love with her. Mary, who is in reality a detective, sees that the emerald arrives safely at its destination and brings the real Blonde Mary and a thief named Harry (Roy D’Arcy) to justice. The image features a medium shot of Hazel Howell and Matt Moore at the left appearing to be looking at the film's leading lady, Dorothy Revier, with suspicion. An element of suspense is created by having their shadows cast on the yellow background behind them. The image is complimented by a bright yellow background and a thin patterned horizontal border at the top. Printed for the film's original 1928 U.S. theatrical release by Columbia Pictures, this vintage original title lobby card is unrestored and in fine- condition with a 0.75 in. diagonal chip on the bottom right corner; a light 3 in. horizontal crease in the top border at the right corner; one pinhole in the top of Hazel Howell's shadow and one in the top half of the right border; and light signs of wear on the tip of the left corner. The beautiful color tints are fresh and vibrant without any signs of fading and feature beautiful shades of bright yellow, pink and light purple.
