Pricing & History
The Ten Commandments (Paramount, 1923). Lobby Cards (2) (11" X 14"). Cecil B. DeMille erected one of the largest film sets in history for this epic story of the ten commandments. The movie balanced both historical and modern parables with the nifty idea of having visual motifs for each commandment appear in the sets. These very rare cards show scenes from two of the commandment episodes. The first is "Thou Shalt Not Steal": Rod La Rocque looks up horrified at the commandment facing him. The shoddy concrete walls of the building collapse around him, killing his mother (Edythe Chapman) to his left. The other card is "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery": here, La Rocque is with his mistress, Nita Naldi, when Leatrice Joy appears unexpectedly. There are small chips with pinholes in the corners and image, dust shadows, edge wear with small tears, handwritten titles of the commandments, and corner bends and creases. The adultery card has a punch in the center. Fine-. Grade: 55, Service No.: 1394797
