Lot #4:

Set of (3) Vintage Lobby Cards from Billions.

Billions, 1920, Metro Pictures. Collection of (3) original lobby cards from the silent film era. Billions (1920) is a lost silent comedy film starring Alla Nazimova, produced by her and distributed by Metro Pictures. Directed by Ray Smallwood, it was based on the French play L'Homme riche by Jean Jose Frappa and Henry Dupuy-Mazuel. The film centered on a wealthy man whose life becomes complicated by his fortune. Nazimova, a key figure in early cinema, brought her unique artistic vision to the project, which reflected her avant-garde style. Unfortunately, Billions is now lost, unavailable for modern audiences to view, making this set of lobby cards a rare glimpse into what would otherwise have been completely lost. Exhibiting expected age and handling, bumped corners, and some edge loss not affecting images, 2-with blue grease pencil notes at the middle lower edges. In vintage good to very good condition.
