Description

The Babe takes a ride from Harold Lloyd in Speedy

Superb vintage glossy 10 x 8 photo of Babe Ruth posing next to comedic actor and filmmaker Harold Lloyd, signed boldly in fountain pen by the legendary ballplayer. In very good to fine condition, with scattered surface creasing, a bit heavier in the bottom border. Accompanied by an original color Paramount Pictures 14 x 11 lobby card for the 1928 silent film Speedy, which shows an image of Lloyd opening an automobile door for the Yankee slugger. Ruth plays himself in a small part in Speedy, accepting a taxi ride from Lloyd who drives Ruth to Yankee Stadium in record time. A fantastic uninscribed offering ideal for display.
