The 1920 Babe Ruth film "Heading Home" starred the Babe in his first movie role playing a fictionalized version of himself. Ruth was paid $25 000 for the role a handsome sum in 1920 but Ruth took his time cashing the check because he liked to show people the payment he received for being in a film. By the time he cashed the check it bounced due to poor box office performance - so Ruth shrugged it off and kept the check as a memento. The Babe waited seven years for his next role playing "Babe" Dugan of the Angels in the silent film "Babe Comes Home " which was released in May of 1927. In the film "Babe" is a dirty tobacco-chewing player who meets a woman who decides to "reform" him; he slumps and is benched until during a game his new wife throws him some tobacco just in time for him to hit an important home run. Unfortunately though some clips have survived and are available on the internet no known copies of the film are known to exist. This postcard-sized photo is a still image from the film depicting Ruth in his uniform sliding into home ahead of an unknown catcher. While we are hesitant to call this a RPPC due to the lack of a postcard back the size stock and orientation of the photo are certainly consistent with that of a postcard. The condition is excellent with silvering of the photo consistent with its method of manufacture and very slight corner wear. An outstanding postcard-sized photo depicting Babe Ruth from his second movie role released at the beginning of what many feel to be his greatest season.
