Caption:
A Warm Reception (General Film, 1916). One Sheet (27 X 41). Long before he met Stan Laurel and embarked on a legendary series of films as half of one of the most popular comedy duos in film history, Oliver Babe Hardy made a number of pictures for the Vim Comedy Film Company, out of Jacksonville Florida, between 1915 and 1917. Although many of these films are now lost to the ravages of time, its clear that this was a particularly important period for Hardy, in which he gained much of the comedic training that would serve him in good stead in later years. In this film, Hardy is in love with the daughter (Florence McLaughlin) of socially conscious Mrs. Price (Kate Price), who insists that her daughter marry nobility. Rather than risk losing the girl when the affluent Count De Appetyte (Joe Cohen) shows up, Babe and a group of friends kidnap Mrs. Price. Babe then dons her clothes (in the scene pictured on this poster), and impersonates her, in an effort to discourage the Count from marrying the daughter! Paper from this early period in Hardys career is exceptionally scarce, making this Kraft-backed beauty a real prize. Not surprisingly for a poster approaching 100 years old, it displays fold wear with crossfold separation, tears and chips in the edges, as well as the remains of a paper snipe at the bottom. In our opinion, this is an excellent candidate for professional restoration, as it is not only exceptionally attractive, but also historically important. Good/Very Good on Paper.
