Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (Paramount, 1928).
<B>Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (Paramount, 1928).</B></I> Title Card and Lobby Cards (3) (11" X 14"). Lorelei Lee (Ruth Taylor) is on the make for a rich husband in 1920s Paris. Tagging along is her best friend Dorothy Shaw (Alice White). Mack Swain (of Charlie Chaplin fame) plays the old millionaire Lee sets her sights on. Taylor was a former Mack Sennett bathing beauty who later, in real life, married a rich stockbroker and retired from films. The remake of this film, of course, starred Marilyn Monroe as Lorelei and Jane Russell as Dorothy. Sadly, all prints of this original 1928 version are presumed lost. There is silverfish damage on the borders of three of the four cards offered here. In addition, there are pinholes in the borders and in the center of each card. There is a small corner chip in the bottom right on the title card, and all of the cards have light edge tanning. In addition to the caricature title card art, all three scene cards feature Taylor, and one shows her with Swain. Fine+. *****<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Lobby Card Set (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
