Description: Vintage original 11x14 in. US lobby card from the popular 1920's two-reel comedy short THE CARETAKER'S DAUGHTER, released in 1925 by Pathe and directed by Leo McCarey. Produced by the Hal Roach Studios, a pratfalling husband (Charley Chase) bickers and battles with his wife (Katherine Grant). But Charley's combative relationship with her is nothing compared to the "gun-man who has served two years in jail for shooting a few friends" (George Siegmann) and who enters Charley's life to wreak even greater havoc. After Charley abandons his decrepit jalopy to a used car lot, he then convinces the gangster to buy the car, which promptly falls to pieces. Charley finds himself in even deeper hot water when he helps out his boss (William J. Kelly) who has been flirting with the gangster's wife (Symona Boniface) by whisking her away to a remote mountain cabin to hide. The gun-man is soon on her trail and an ongoing roundelay of hijinks ensue as the wife and Charley - both disguised as the lodge's caretaker (James Parrott, Charley Chase's brother) hide from her husband, with Charley's own jealous wife soon joining the comic melee. The image features an interior long shot inside of a rustic cabin as The Young Married Man (Charley Chase) is crouching at-the-ready to open the front door as his wife (Katherine Grant) pokes her head through the open flat to watch the Gunman's Wife (Symona Boniface) quietly sneaking up the stairs unbeknownst to the Crook. It is unrestored in very fine- condition with one or two pinholes in each corner. There are no tears, stains, or other flaws.
