These are a few Lobby Cards from The Son of the Sheik. Of all of Valentino's movies items from The Son of the Sheik seem to be the most prevelant. Back in the early days of film it is my understanding that it was taboo to see a film with someone who passed away. The studio was worried about this with The Son of the Sheik; however, the demand for the movie grew, so most likely the film was over marketed causing there to be more items out there. Furthermore, this was one of the many films that was re-released during the 30's and 40's. These lobby cards are still sought after and are fairly valuable.
