The Rough Riders (Paramount, 1927). Title Lobby
<B>The Rough Riders (Paramount, 1927).</B></I> Title Lobby Card and Scene Cards (6) (11" X 14"). Loosely based on the life and exploits of Teddy Roosevelt, particularly his stirring charge up San Juan Hill, this epic picture was directed by Victor Fleming (best known as the director of <I>The Wizard of Oz</B></I>), and starred Noah Beery, Mary Astor (who is pictured on the title card), and Frank Hopper as Roosevelt. Hopper was not an actor, but a literary agent who was cast after a widespread talent search, primarily because of his physical resemblance to TR. These colorful and exciting cards show some soiling in the borders, mild corner bumps, and pinholes in the corners of several cards, but are generally clean and attractive. For the fan of film or history, this is the lot to bid on! Very Fine.*****<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Lobby Card Set (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
