Oh Doctor! (Paramount, 1917). Lobby Card
<B>Oh Doctor! (Paramount, 1917).</B></I> Lobby Card (11" X 14"). In 1917 walking on a New York street with a friend, Fatty Arbuckle was introduced to a young man his friend knew. He invited this fellow over to his Coney Island film studio, and the two began making the first of some sixteen films together. Thus began one of the greatest collaborations in screen comedy history with young Buster Keaton. This is the fourth film in which they collaborate before Keaton would depart on his own. This scene never occurs in the short but the lobby was taken from a staged publicity still, in which Keaton was asked to stand-in as a policeman. Of course, he never appeared as such in the short. Here they are in one of their best collaborations in a very rare card. Keaton would return the favor in later years, supporting Arbuckle after the Virginia Rappe scandal curtailed Arbuckle's career. There are pinholes, diagonal creases in the top left and right corners, minor edge wear with tiny tears, older restoration in the center and lower right field to address a punch and surface paper loss.
