Description

While the City Sleeps (MGM, 1928). Lobby Cards (2) (11" X 14").
Lon Chaney portrays a hard-edged lawman helping Anita Page escape gangster Wheeler Oakman, who is intent on killing her because she knows too much. The film marks an early entry in the gangster sub-genre, which would grow in popularity the following decade, thanks to the likes of Humphrey Bogart and James Cagney. Chaney collectors won't want to miss out on this lot, as the actor has the appearance of a gritty cop down cold. One card shows a pinhole in Chaney's credit, and a stain in the left border. The other has a chip in the lower left and upper right corners. Fine+.
