Item description

Vintage original 8x10 in. US lobby card from the teens WWI-themed silent film war drama, MISSING, released in on June 6, 1918 by the Vitagraph Company of America and directed by James Young. Nell (Sylvia Beamer) and Lt. George Surratt (Robert Gordon) are happily married, but Nell's sister, Hester (Ola Humphrey), is disappointed because she had hoped to obtain social standing and wealth through the marriage by Nell to an old but wealthy man. Shortly after the marriage, George joins the fighting men in France, but is later reported missing. Sir William Farrell (Thomas Meighan), who cannot go to war because of lameness, becomes interested in Nell, and Hester, forcing Nell to believe her husband is dead, urges her to accept Sir William's proposal. Although Hester tries to intercept it, Nell receives a message that George is alive but suffering from shell shock. The singing of his favorite song, "Bonnie Sweet Bessie," by his wife completely restores his memory and they are happily reunited. The image depicts an interior scene inside the home of Lt. George Suratt (Robert Gordon) as he tells his wife, Nell (Sylvia Breamer), that "I'll be in the trenches in three weeks" as he's about to kiss her. One of Vitagraph's two founders, J. Stuart Blackton, is mentioned in the lower right corner as "The Master of Screencraft" and the card is dated 1918 at the end of this text. It is unrestored in fine condition with one pinhole in each side border; a 1.25 in. crease on the top border near the left corner; and some light vertical waviness along the bottom 2 in. of the card.
