1924 Do It Now Original Silent Film Lobby Cards Set of Four - This is a set of four original promotional lobby cards for the 1924 silent film Do It Now, presented by Phil Goldstone. The film was directed by Duke Worne, with a screen adaptation by Jefferson Moffitt based on the comedy by Malcolm Stewart White. The cards were produced by The Ritchey Litho. Co. of New York and bear the copyright mark on the bottom left. Each card is constructed from paper and features a colorized scene from the production set within a rectangular frame. The design includes a dark background surrounded by a repeating geometric border in shades of orange and red. Every card also features a unique character portrait in an oval inset decorated with a floral motif. Scenes depicted include a woman in a blue and white checkered dress holding a plate, an interior gathering of three characters, a formal scene at a piano, and an embrace between the leads at night. 11 x 14 inches each. The cards are in good vintage condition with expected wear for their age. There is minor bumping to the corners and light wear along the edges. The front surfaces show some light scuffing and minor areas of discoloration. The reverses are blank off-white paper and show light foxing and visible bleed-through of the front printing. One card has a small area of surface skinning or paper loss on the reverse side. No significant tears or creases are observed.
