Lot #19008 (Sale Order 8 of 710)

Strike Up the Band (MGM, 1940). Poster (40" X 60"). Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney made a number of films together and in the process became two of the highest paid stars of the 1940s. In this programmer, Rooney starts a swing band in his high school and has to raise money to travel to Chicago so the band can enter a national contest! Of course the only way they can raise money is to "put on a show" (which happened in every Rooney and Garland film), which made a great excuse to put as many songs into the picture as possible. Audiences loved every minute of it, and it made their movies some of the most popular of the era. There are areas of paper loss around the borders, primarily in the corners. There is one longer tear that runs vertically down the center, light surface wrinkles and several smaller border tears and dings. The great sketch artist Al Hirschfeld created the terrific characters displayed on this poster. Fine on Paper.

Vincente Minnelli directed his then-wife Judy Garland and Gene Kelly (who also co-choreographed with the Nicholas Brothers) in this very colorful love story of a woman who fantasizes about life on the high seas with the black pirate, Macoco.

There is fold line wear with separation at the crossfolds, tears, chips, small holes and multiple pinholes. This large format poster offers a colorful, stunning display of both Kelly and Garland. Fine.

Seven Days'' Leave (RKO, 1942). One Sheet (27" X 41"). During WWII each studio did its part to create USO, all-star musical comedies to lift the spirits of our troops as well as the country.

Nat ''King'' Cole and Russ Morgan and His Orchestra (Universal International, 1953). One Sheet (27" X 41"). This musical short featured the legendary Nat "King" Cole performing his hit "Pretend." Cole''s velvet smooth voice, and soft, easy demeanor crossed all racial boundaries and made him a perennial fan favorite. Many people do not realize that as great a singer as Nat was he was probably an even greater pianist, and had he not taken up singing he may have been the one of the greatest jazz pianist ever. There are small areas of paper loss and some scattered small holes. The poster has been professionally restored, rendering these defects hard to detect. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Lot #19013 (Sale Order 13 of 710)

Director Otto Preminger broke new ground when he cast Dorothy Dandridge, Harry Belafonte, and Pearl Bailey in the lead roles for his Oscar Hammerstein musical: an adaptation of Bizet''s classic opera, "Carmen." The poster has pinholes in the corners, minor separation at the center points, some small tears in the borders, some scotch tape reinforcing some of the fold lines on the reverse, and very minor bug holes in one seam. All of these defects sound far worse than the poster appears, and the colors are vibrant. This poster would appear mint if linen backed. Very Good.

Lot #19015 (Sale Order 15 of 710)

Singin'' in the Rain (MGM, 1952). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14"). Arguably the best movie musical ever made. Writers Betty Comden and Adolph Green wrote the story after the musical numbers had been penned. Production days often ran into the 19 hour mark and Gene Kelly was near delirium with a 103 degree fever, but he still insisted on shooting the rain sequence to avoid losing production time. Gene dancin'' in the rain and Donald O''Conner makin'' em laugh created the perfect movie musical. There is light soiling, slight tears, smudges, bumps and pinholes. This wonderful set of cards colorfully depicts some of the film''s best moments. Fine/Very Fine.

Deborah Kerr plays Anna, who comes to realize how important it is for the King to maintain his pride while trying to uphold the customs of his people. There is slight separation at the crossfolds, corner pinholes, tape stains, and small chips. This one sheet offers a beautiful representation of Brynner''s most famous role. Very Good/Fine.

The Sound of Music (20th Century Fox, 1965). Roadshow Six Sheet (81" X 81"). With music by Rodgers and Hammerstein and directed by Robert Wise, Fox brought one of the greatest musicals to the screen with "The Sound of Music."

Adapted from Dickens''s classic novel, it''s one of the most dramatically involving and artistically impressive musicals of the 1960s, directed by Carol Reed. Mark Lester plays the waifish orphan Oliver Twist, who is befriended by the pickpocketing Artful Dodger (Jack Wild) and recruited into the gang of boy thieves led by Fagin (played to perfection by Ron Moody). The retelling of "Oliver Twist" was the winner of the Best Picture Oscar and most of the posters that have survived for this film are the Academy Award versions.

When they get a dollar for taking care of an injured dog, the kids come up with a moneymaking scheme. They round up all the dogs in town, believing that the grateful owners will gladly hand over a dollar for their "rescue." What they didn''t figure on was the frantic owners calling the cops about the disappearing pooches, and soon the whole gang ends up in trouble with the law.

There is slight fold line wear and corner pinholes. There has been high quality restoration performed to touch up these minor imperfections. The posters for this comedy trio are always in high demand. Very Fine+ on Linen.

There are nicks, tears, and pinholes on the borders and paper loss on the lower right corner. Offered here is a wonderful stone litho poster from one of his shorts, made for Sennett Studios.

Bonnie Scotland (MGM, 1935). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14"). Hal Roach stars his most famous duo in what appears to be a spoof of the "Lives of Bengal Lancer," as the studio was steering them into more feature films.

This lovely title card has a bend in the upper right corner, a pin hole in both of the left side corners and a small amount of foxing on the left border. All in all this is a very clean card.

Lot #19032 (Sale Order 32 of 710)

Harold Lloyd Personality Portrait (Pathe'', 1921). One Sheet (27" X 41"). Labeled as "The King of Daredevil Comedy," Harold Lloyd is best remembered by many fans as the young man dangling desperately from a clock tower in the 1923 classic "Safety Last." His artistic achievements of the silent era are often overshadowed by two of his contemporaries, Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, even though he made more films than the two of them combined. Athletic and spontaneous, Lloyd performed his comedic daredevil stunts with grace and ease. In 1917, Lloyd created his most unforgettable character, one that was to remain a signature throughout his career. With round glasses, a straw hat, and an unkempt suit, this new persona was both the fool and the fox, bumbling imperfection that could cunningly outsmart the bad guys. There is fold line wear and small areas of paper loss. Professional conservation and restoration work performed on this poster have made these defects hard to detect and the post

Lot #19033 (Sale Order 33 of 710)

The Round-Up (Famous Players Lasky, 1920). (2) Lobby Cards (11" X 14"). This was Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle''s first full-length feature film. In 1913 he signed with comedy producer Mack Sennett where he rose to prominence while performing and collaborating alongside of Mabel Normand and Charlie Chaplin in Keystone Comedies. In 1917 he founded his own production company and even signed a promising protégé named Buster Keaton. Arbuckle''s success was short- lived however when he fell victim to one of the most infamous scandals in Hollywood. A starlet named Virginia Rappe died after one of Arbuckle''s parties and public outcry caused powerful moguls to blacklist the rising star. A prophetic scene occurs at the end of this film as the final shot shows Arbuckle, alone, saying, "Nobody loves a fat man." Very Fine-.

Lot #19034 (Sale Order 34 of 710)

The Navigator (Metro Goldwyn Picture, 1924). Lobby Card (11" X 14"). At the request of his star Buster Keaton, producer Joe Schenck purchased an obsolete ocean liner for $20,000. Keaton wanted to use the boat as a prop in his upcoming comedy, but began production with very little plot in his head. Eventually he came up with the story of two wealthy, pampered young people, who, through a series of fantastic plot developments, end up stranded on a drifting, deserted ocean liner. This wonderful scene card features the great "stoneface" as the pampered hero taking a bath at home. There is slight border toning, one light stain at the upper right corner, and one pinhole. These trivial defects do little to distract, and the card displays very well. Very Fine.

Lot #19035 (Sale Order 35 of 710)

Hard Luck (Metro, 1921). Lobby Card (11" X 14"). Buster Keaton is considered one of the greatest comic actors of all time. His influence on physical comedy is rivaled only by Charlie Chaplin. An acrobatically skillful and psychologically insightful actor, Keaton made dozens of short films and fourteen major silent features. Each of these films was a testiment to the comedic skill of an actor who would come to be recognized as one of the most talented and innovative artists of his time. Out of all the two-reelers Keaton made, he said that "Hard Luck" was his favorite. He claimed that the great "high dive" stunt he performed in the film was the greatest thrill of his life. There are corner chips and some light foxing at the borders, otherwise the card is in excellent condition. This card is such a wonderful early portrait of the star. Fine+.

Lot #19037 (Sale Order 37 of 710)

The Cameraman (MGM, 1928). Insert (14" X 36"). Like many of the great actors of the silent era, Keaton''s work was cast into near obscurity for many years. Only toward the end of his life was there a renewed interest in his films. An acrobatically skillful and psychologically insightful actor, Keaton made dozens of short films and fourteen major silent features, attesting to one of the most talented and innovative artists of his time. After doing nine films under the auspices of Joseph Schenck and United Artists, he was offered a lucrative contract by the reigning power in film at the time, MGM Studios. Though counseled not to take the offer by Chaplin and Harold Lloyd, Keaton took the deal and his fade into obscurity is history. Offered here is the insert to the first film he made under the MGM banner, a film that is still considered one of his classics, "The Cameraman." We sold the title card to this film in our last sale and are pleased to offer this very rare and especially nice con

Lot #19038 (Sale Order 38 of 710)

The Circus (United Artists, 1928). Lobby Card (11" X 14"). Charlie Chaplin both directed and starred in this comedy gem that has the "Little Tramp" running from the law and "accidentally" joining the circus as a clown. The whole circus soon revolves around their new star and his many adventures and narrow escapes, while performing under the Big Top.

They Drive By Night (Warner Brothers, 1940). One Sheet (27" X 41"). Humphrey Bogart was still playing second to George Raft''s lead when Raoul Walsh directed "They Drive By Night." The film was an expose'' of the tough life led by truckers on the nation''s highways. It was the last time Bogart would appear with Raft and, in fact, after this film, Raft would turn down the two roles that made Bogart a legend -- Mad Dog Roy Earle in "High Sierra," and Sam Spade in "The Maltese Falcon." There is slight fold line wear, border tears, pinholes and light surface creases. The poster has been professionally restored, reducing the appearance of these defects. This film, and poster, features four of Warner''s top stars George Raft, Ann Sheridan, Humphrey Bogart and Ida Lupino. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

The Big Shot (Warner Brothers, 1942). Australian Daybill (14" X 30"). For years, Humphrey Bogart had been typecast as a vicious gangster in dozens of "B" pictures for Warner Brothers.

Lot #19080 (Sale Order 80 of 710)

The Big Sleep (Warner Brothers - First National, 1946). One Sheet (27" X 41"). This classic Howard Hawks mystery/thriller was based on Raymond Chandler''s first novel and introduced audiences to the hard-boiled, cynical private eye Philip Marlowe, masterfully portrayed by Humphrey Bogart. This was also the second film featuring the classic teaming of Bogart and Lauren Bacall, and their screen chemistry was absolutely electric. The plotline for "The Big Sleep" is so complicated and convoluted that the screenwriting team of William Faulkner, Leigh Brackett, and Jules Furthmann had to consult Raymond Chandler for advice, who was just as confused as they were. Baffling as it is, this film noir is so loaded with star power and so wonderfully entertaining that no one cares. There has been minor restoration to fold line wear and border pinholes. The poster displays a wonderful image of the two legendary lovers, Bogie and Bacall. Very Fine on Linen.

There is light fold line wear, several creases extending from the fold lines, small tears, and staple holes in the corners.

Double Indemnity (Paramount, 1944). Australian Daybill (10" X 30"). Life insurance. The idea was simple enough; when you died, your beneficiaries would be compensated for their loss of your income. It was also an e-ticket for a family member with big ideas to send you on a one-way trip to the big sleep. Director Billy Wilder used James M. Cain''s famous novel as the basis for this seminal film noir. However, the screenplay was written by the leading noir author of the era, Raymond Chandler. No one could ever match Chandler''s dialogue, and the result was a legendary film that was nominated for Best Picture. This colorful Australian, stone litho daybill has just a tiny bit of fold line wear, otherwise it''s in magnificent condition and is very reminiscent of the American insert. Near Mint on Linen.

Murder My Sweet (RKO, 1944). One Sheet (27" X 41"). This great 40''s production starred Dick Powell as Phillip Marlowe, the hard-boiled private detective "antihero" made famous by author Raymond Chandler''s crime novels. Before this film, Powell was known as a "song and dance man," having starred in many of the early Warner Brothers musicals. His career was in serious decline when director Ed Dmytryk took a chance and cast him in the lead as the famed detective. The studio wasn''t so sure the director had made a wise decision. They even renamed the movie from its original title, "Farewell My Lovely," because they were afraid the public might think it was another Powell musical. What was produced is considered to be one of the great early landmark movies of the film noir genre. There is light fold line wear with a touch more at the fold line intersections, three pencil sized holes in the background and smaller pinholes in the corners.

Tierney has taken the same train, and the two meet and fall in love, not knowing the sinister secrets that each harbors. There are two corner pinholes and some trivial fold line wear. What''s interesting about this poster is that the studio blacked out the tag line at the top, "The Coldest Killer A Woman Ever Loved" and the original printed title, "Born To Kill." The title was of course replaced with, "Deadlier Than the Male," the studio''s original choice. One might speculate that the studio was testing the titles on different markets to determine which would best promote Ti

The Third Man (British Lion Film, 1949). Three Sheet (41" X 81"). Carol Reed''s "The Third Man" is one of the odd successes among international films of the late 1940s. Here was a quirky movie from England, with Hitchcock-like touches and an odd sense of humor, that manages to be grim, and wryly witty, while retaining a good bit of author Graham Greene''s sensibility. Producer Alexander Korda wanted Noël Coward to play the mysterious Harry Lime, but, once Orson Welles was cast in the part, the movie became a testament to his presence and impact; he''s only on screen for about a quarter of the movie, but he''s the actor that everyone remembers. There is fold line wear with small areas of paper loss, slight creases and smudges. The poster has been professionally restored, rendering these defects hard to detect. Very Fine- on Linen.

Lady From Shanghai (Columbia, 1948). Swedish Poster (27.5" X 39.5"). One of the best film noir ever made featured director/writer/actor Orson Welles as Michael O''Hara, a down-and-out shoreman hired by a wealthy attorney to captain his yacht. While on a trip, O''Hara falls in love with the attorney''s wife, played by Rita Hayworth. The film includes one of the most famous and often-imitated scenes in movies: the hall of mirrors sequence. Welles had his leading lady and real-life wife Hayworth dye her famous auburn tresses, to become a platinum blonde. When studio head Harry Cohn saw the rushes, he fumed and delayed the release for over a year. Harry was wrong--Hayworth made just as beautiful a blonde as she did a red-head!

A prologue, new ending, and voice-over narration were added shortly after the film''s initial release, to help moviegoers keep up with its non-linear plotline.

The Life of Buffalo Bill (Pawnee Bill Film Co., 1912). One Sheet (27" X 41"). William F. Cody (a.k.a. Buffalo Bill) was one of the most colorful figures of the Old West. Before Cody went into show business he had a number of occupations including: trapper, Colorado "Fifty-Niner," Pony Express rider, wagonmaster, stagecoach driver, Civil War soldier, and even hotel manager. He was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor in 1872 for his role as a scout for the United States Army (1868-1872). Cody''s Wild West Shows were an enormous success in the late 1880s and remained a popular subject in the early 1900s when this very early silent three-reeler was made. There are several tears and some small areas of paper loss. The professional restoration work was top notch, rendering these defects hard to detect.

" Dustin Hoffman "graduated" to the big leagues with this legendary cult film of the 1960s. As Benjamin Braddock, he''s just out of college with no prospects ahead of him when he finds love in the arms of an older, married woman. The lines in this film are memorable such as Hoffman''s stammering, "Mrs. Robinson, I think you''re trying to seduce me." He complicates his life when he starts dating and then falls in love with the woman''s daughter. The film was a sensation and spoke to a generation of young people who felt disenfranchised and were in the midst of a cultural rebellion against the system. Like Hoffman, who became an overnight star with the film''s release, the youth of America were "graduating" to an awakening about society around them.

The Graduate (Embassy, 1967). One Sheet (27" X 41"). Dustin Hoffman became an overnight sensation after appearing as Benjamin Braddock in this classic picture of the 1960s. Rebelling against the wishes of his parents, that he settle down and take a respectable job, Benjamin starts an illicit affair with a friend of his mother, Mrs. Robinson played by Anne Bancroft. Things start getting out of control when Benjamin starts dating Mrs. Robinson''s daughter. The scenes of the older woman seducing the young and nervous man have become legendary. Although Hoffman wasn''t the original choice for the part (that was Warren Beatty, and later Charles Grodin), you have to wonder how anyone else could have played the role. There are corner pinholes and minor imperfections. The poster has been professionally restored, rendering these trivial defects hard to detect. Posters for this title without the Academy Awards are surprisingly rare and eagerly sought after, especially the ones from the Embassy rel

The Godfather (Paramount, 1972). British One Sheet (27" X 40"). The picture that in many people''s minds became the rarified standard that defined a genre. Director Francis Ford Coppola, writer Mario Puzo, and cinematographer Gordon Willis created the perfect atmosphere and dark mood to tell the Mafia story from the inside.The story behind the story of the making of the film was almost as angst-ridden as the screenplay. Director Coppola was almost fired by Producer Stanley Jaffe for hiring Marlon Brando as the Corleone patriarch, Vito.

There is wear on the fold lines with a touch more at the crossfolds, one small tear at the top, and border pinholes.

The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms (Warner Brothers, 1953). One Sheet (27" X 41"). As a result of an arctic nuclear test, a carnivorous dinosaur thaws out and starts making its way down the east coast of North America. This was the first of the giant creature features, and Ray Harryhausen''s effects were totally believable. Directed by former production designer Eugene Lourie, who later directed "Colossus of New York" and "The Giant Behemoth."

Shot in less than a week for $50,000, Roger Corman directed this sci-fi film about a cosmetic company executive (Susan Cabot) who has found a youth-rejuvenating drug in the royal jelly of wasps.

Godzilla (Toho, 1956). One Sheet (27" X 41"). By 1954, the world had seen dozens of nuclear tests and were very aware of the mutating effects of radiation. Hollywood capitalized on these fears by starting a whole series of horror films featuring "giant" ants, mantis, scorpions, tarantulas, etc. Not to be outdone though, were the Japanese. Their entry into the "giant" mutated monster came in the shape of a resurrected pre-historic lizard by the name of Godzilla! The King of the Monsters became so popular that he went on to make dozens of sequels. The posters for his first appearance are some of the most sought after and the images are considered some of the best of the horror/sci-fi posters from the 1950s. This particular example is unique since it has had the title, "Godzilla (Gojira)" written on it in silver point and the actor who trampled Tokyo dozens of times in the Godzilla costume, Ryosaku Takasugi, has signed the poster as well. Fine on Linen.

As the "red scare" swept the nation during the 1950s, feelings of paranoia overwhelmed the populace who feared they would be "taken over" by communists. The film-makers of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" played upon this fear by using space pods as a metaphor for communists. The poster material for the film also plays on these psychological fears by using a "red" background and a huge hand (fivers - a reference to fifth columnists-communist spies) reaching for the fleeing citizens. Other than a couple of trivial border imperfection, this lobby set is in pristine condition. From the Johnny Ramone collection. Near Mint/Mint.

Written by Frank Nugent and beautifully scored by Victor Young, the film won Oscars for Archie Stout''s Technicolor photography, and for Ford''s direction.

Law for Tombstone (Universal, 1937). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14"). Buck Jones rides and shoots his way through another B Western for Universal. The posters and lobbies for his films at Universal are among his best as the studio insisted they use tons of color and riveting action in the graphics. The title card alone is worth the price of the whole set! What kid could possibly have resisted buying a ticket to a movie that looked this good and promised this much action?

Nicholas Ray, one of Hollywood''s most admired non-conformist directors, made this very different western the year before "Rebel Without a Cause." There are trivial border imperfections including small tears, stains and smudges. These minor imperfections do not distract and the set displays very well. Very Fine+.

Walter Huston and Harry Carey star in this thinly disguised tale of Wyatt Earp''s exploits in Tombstone, Arizona.

Anna Karenina (MGM, 1935). Half Sheet (22" X 28"). This was the second time that Leo Tolstoy''s novel had been brought to the silver screen and this version is usually regarded as the better. The great Greta Garbo reprised her role (she played the same character opposite John Gilbert in the 1927 silent feature, "Love") as the sheltered wife of a Czarist official.

Director Clarence Brown had the daunting task of condensing 900 pages of complicated characterizations, dialogue, and plot twists into a mere 95 minutes on the silver screen.

Frank Capra''s comedy classic stars Cary Grant as drama critic Mortimer Bruster, a man who discovers that his two saintly old aunts, Martha and Abby, have a nasty habit of killing lonely old men and burying them in the cellar, with the aid of their bugle-blowing nephew, Teddy (who thinks he''s Teddy Roosevelt). Add to the mix another nephew Jonathan, who''s a true killer, and his creepy little alcoholic sidekick Dr. Einstein, and the results are one of Hollywood''s true comedy classics. There are pinholes on the center of the top borders, smudges, and light corner bumps. This lot includes two highly desirable lobby cards from the set. Fine.

Lot #19534 (Sale Order 534 of 710)

The Philadelphia Story (MGM, 1940). Three Sheet (41" X 81"). Katharine Hepburn left Hollywood in 1938 with the stigma of "box office poison", returning to Broadway in a play that was written especially for her, Philip Barry''s "The Philadelphia Story." The play opened at the Shubert Theatre in New York on March 29, 1939 to rave reviews from audiences and critics alike. Soon, offers began pouring in from Hollywood for the screen rights, which Hepburn had purchased with borrowed money from her ex-lover Howard Hughes. She accepted MGM''s offer, which incidentally, was not the highest, but would give her approval of her leading men and director. She got her choice of director, George Cukor, but not her choice of leading men, Spencer Tracy and Clark Gable. She had to settle for Cary Grant, who insisted on top billing, and James Stewart. The film opened to enormous critical acclaim and broke box office records around the country. Among its Oscar nominations in 1940 were Best Picture, Best Dire

Topper (MGM, 1937). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").

Without a doubt, this is one of the best screwball comedies to emerge from the 1930''s.

The card exhibits light foxing and smudging in the white areas and one pinhole per corner. Fine+.

Once Upon a Honeymoon (RKO, 1942). Three Sheet (41" X 81"). A strange and interesting curio, this film is more than just a lighthearted romantic comedy. It stars Ginger Rogers as an ex-burlesque queen who believes she''s climbing the social ladder by marrying a successful businessman. When the businessman turns out to be a high-ranking Nazi official, radio reporter Cary Grant, who''s been trying to warn her, has to come to her rescue. One of the most intriguing scenes is when the two are mistaken for Jews and briefly interned in a Polish concentration camp. There is light fold line wear, minor creases and pinholes. The poster has been professionally restored to correct these minor imperfections. This large format poster offers stunning colorful images of both Grant and Rogers. Very Fine on Linen.

Lot #19540 (Sale Order 540 of 710)

Gunga Din (RKO, 1939). One Sheet (27" X 41"). This was the breakout film for George Stevens, who directed this rousing adventure yarn, that was loosely based on a Rudyard Kipling poem. It''s the tale of three brawling British sergeants who are stationed in 19th century colonial India and battle the head-hunting Thuggee tribe. Cary Grant, Doug Fairbanks, Jr. and Victor McLaglen are great as the carousing comrades. There is fold line wear, multiple areas of paper loss around the borders, several tears, small holes, and light surface scratches.

In order to dodge the draft, he adopts the identity of a dead man, all the while trying to set up a scheme that will allow him to purchase a fancy gambling ship. All goes according to plans until Grant falls for Laraine Day and is seized by an uncontrollable bout of honesty. There are border bumps and chips, and paper loss in the upper right corner of this otherwise lovely poster. It has been professionally restored, rendering these defects hard to detect.

Charade (Universal, 1963). Three Sheet (41" X 81"). Seven studios rejected Peter Stone''s original screenplay until he turned it into a popular novel serialized in Redbook magazine. Suddenly all of the studios showed interest, with Universal winning the rights. They turned it over to famed musical comedy director Stanley Donan. This romantic comedy/thriller, with its touch of Hitchcockian twists, was made magical by its pairing of Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. This poster has slight centerpoint wear, staple holes, and slight smudging in the lower credit area. Fine+.

Lot #19543 (Sale Order 543 of 710)

Sabrina (Paramount, 1954). One Sheet (27" X 41"). The always beguiling Audrey Hepburn was the perfect Sabrina in this "Cinderella goes to Connecticut" romantic comedy. Billy Wilder wrote (along with Ernest Lehman) and directed this film which was originally titled, "Sabrina Fair." Producers were afraid that a 50''s movie-going public would confuse it with "Vanity Fair" and reject it as too highbrow, so the title was changed to "Sabrina." Humphrey Bogart, who incidentally was a last minute replacement for Cary Grant, plays an aging tycoon that tries to keep Sabrina away from his playboy brother (William Holden). There is fold line wear with a small area of paper loss at the center crossfold and a few small tears and scattered holes. The poster has been professionally restored, rendering these defects hard to detect. Fine+ on Linen.

Roman Holiday (Paramount, 1953). Australian daybill (13" X 30"). Twenty-four-year-old Audrey Hepburn won an Academy Award for her portrayal of Princess Anne, a young woman who longs to escape her political heritage and have some fun before she is paralyzed by "affairs of state." By chance she happens to meet American journalist Joe Bradley (Gregory Peck), who recognizes her, but pretends that he doesn''t in hopes of obtaining an exclusive interview. This wonderful romance is the film that catapulted Hepburn to fame. There are the typical fold lines, some border foxing, one corner crease and one small tear. The beautiful zinc-plate graphics portrayed on this Australian daybill are simply stunning. Fine.

War and Peace (Paramount, 1956). German Poster (33" X 70"). For years, the collectors of Audrey Hepburn''s posters have looked for an image that is completely different from the U.S. One Sheet, as all of the domestic posters and formats on the film are basically a variation of the one sheet art. At last, this German poster has turned up and it not only features completely different art, but art that is both visually stunning and appealing! Without a doubt, one of the best posters to have been issued for this Audrey Hepburn classic. There are minor border imperfections; two slight areas of paper loss, small tears and bumps and one small hole, otherwise the poster is in fabulous condition. Very Fine-.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (MGM, 1958). One Sheet (27" X 41"). Elizabeth Taylor purrs with sensuality as Maggie the Cat in this filmed adaptation of Tennessee Williams''s Pulitzer prize winning play. The film was controversial at the time as Brick (Paul Newman) Pollitt''s homosexuality could only be hinted at. The poster features one of the best images of Taylor ever made and has become one of her most collectible titles. There is fold line wear with small amounts of paper loss and corner pinholes. The poster has been professionally restored and displays very well. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Butterfield 8 (MGM, 1960). French Poster (47" X 63"). Made just prior to "Cleopatra," Elizabeth Taylor was legally bound to finish her contract with MGM before she could begin the bigger film. She hated this script but was willing to do the film so that she could begin the epic. Amazingly enough, this film earned Elizabeth Taylor her first Academy Award (for Best Actress) after four unsuccessful nominations. There is slight separation at the crossfolds and minor foxing around the borders. This large format French poster offers a stunning image of the lovely Ms. Taylor. Very Fine +.

Barbarella (Paramount, 1968). Poster (40" X 60"). Based on a French comic strip, the story concerns the adventures of a 41st-century woman, who pretty much gets it on with whomever, whenever. This fantastic 1968 psychedelic teaser is undoubtedly the best poster from this camp, cult film. Twenty-nine year old, Jane Fonda, does do her thing, especially the zero gravity strip-tease in the opening credits. This poster is seldom offered, so get it while you can. The poster has border wear and a tear which runs through the center of the poster. It has been expertly repaired and appears to be in fine shape. Very Good-.

Mature is successful in his endeavors but once Grable reaches the top in a Hammerstein show, she falls for his sophisticated English partner Reginald Gardiner. Look for Margaret Hamilton who has a hilarious cameo role as a Carrie Nation-style saloon basher. There is trivial fold line wear that has a bit of touch up and one small scuff mark toward the bottom right corner, otherwise this poster is in excellent condition. This beautiful stone litho offers a great leggy image of pin-up girl Grable in this ultra-rare "B" style poster. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.

Lot #19551 (Sale Order 551 of 710)

The Outlaw (RKO, R-1950). Australian Day Bill (30" X 13"). Of every film ever made by Hollywood, none had more publicity than Howard Hughes'' "The Outlaw." It was the first picture for nineteen-year-old Jane Russell, whose assets caused so much controversy, the film was held up from "official" release from 1941 until 1946. One of the major problems, and there were many, was the film''s poster art. The pin-up appearance of many of the posters was considered too risqué, and had to be toned down for American audiences. This Australian day bill is far more attractive than the US one sheet and is evidently based on the Zoe Mozert art used for the Spanish release one sheet from 1946. Very Fine.

Lot #19552 (Sale Order 552 of 710)

The Outlaw (United Artists, 1943). Six Sheet (81" X 81"). Without a doubt, "The Outlaw" was the most controversial film made during the 1940s. The film wasn''t even finished being shot when trouble started. The PCA (Production Code Authority) wouldn''t give approval to the script until changes were made. Howard Hawks, the film''s original director, left the project and Howard Hughes had to take over the shooting. When Joseph Breen at the PCA finally saw a rough cut of the film, he labeled it salacious for the number of overt shots of Jane Russell''s breasts and cleavage. Hughes was forced to re-edit the film and after cutting 40 minutes out of the movie, the PCA finally gave the film a certificate of approval. But Hughes kept trying to get his version released and submitted his own cut of the film to various state censor boards, but had even worse results. Some of the states out-right banned the film from release! 20th Century Fox, who had been set to distribute the film, dropped the pictu

High School Hellcats (AIP, 1958). One Sheet (27" X 41"). "What must a good girl say to belong?" We don''t care just as long as Yvonne Lime says it! Lime was the undisputed queen of the juvenile delinquent drive-in circuit, making a string of low budget teenage classics. The AIP gang tried to do an expose of teenage girl gangs with this juvy pic. Of course it all goes bad and ends up in a knife fight at the local bijou! Low production values didn''t matter to the theatre managers, just the titillating posters that lured the teenage drive-in crowd in for the nightly shows. It doesn''t get much better than this! This poster is tri-folded and has two light creases and some insignificant border imperfections. Posters for this title continue to be in demand among collectors, especially in this stellar, unrestored condition. Very Fine/Near Mint.

There are small areas of paper loss in the borders, otherwise the poster is in wonderful condition. Very Fine on Linen.

The Mating Urge (Citation Films, 1959). One Sheet (27" X 41"). Well folks, it isn''t real hard to figure out what they were trying to sell us with this documentary. What hormonal teen wouldn''t be lured into the theater with tag lines like, "See Eye-Openers In Love Making Like These: The Fertility Tree - altar of love, Peek-A-Boo Romance - a look means surrender, and Women Marry Women - and make men their love slaves!" The poster also boasts that the film has "a cast of hundreds of lovers playing themselves." This had a limited release in 1959, which makes this poster quite rare and hard to find. There is a touch of separation at the crossfolds, otherwise the poster is in excellent condition. Near Mint-.

Lolita (MGM, 1962). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14"). Stanley Kubrick''s adaptation downplayed the wicked satire and sensuality of the material in Nabokov''s novel and concentrated instead on the story''s farcical aspects. The film, however, still caused quite a sensation when it was released in 1962. James Mason plays Humbert Humbert, a man so infatuated with a young girl, Lolita, that he marries her mother just to get close to her. There are pinholes, smudges, and censor stamps on the lower right corners. The censor stamps have been considerably lightened through professional cleaning methods. Scene card #2, displaying the sunbathing Lolita, is the only card in the set that did not have a censor stamp and is in excellent condition. The film is considered a classic of the cinema and material for this title remains in high demand. Fine-.

In the end Mayo not only proves his innocence but also wins the hand of the local rancher''s daughter, Virginia Valli. The real attraction of this production is this stunning stone litho one sheet that features a terrific image of Mayo being illuminated by the light of a kerosene lantern. There are tears, small holes, creases, light smudge marks, and areas of paper loss around the borders. The graphics area has only minor defects and could be easily restored. Very Good/Fine.

Both of these posters are rolled and never folded. They came from the collection of an apprentice at Morgan Litho from the mid to late twenties. The first is an animation comedy short entitled, "The Family Album" (1926). One of the interesting features of this poster is the artist''s pencil notation on the front which reads, "Joe, the artist who was at Madina with me last Labor Day made the two figures. I made all the faces." The second is "Should Men Walk Home" (1927) starring Mabel Normand, who was perhaps the most famous female comedian of her day.

Mickey''s Nightmare (United Artists, 1932). One Sheet (27" X 41"). Walt Disney had been working for Charles Mintz at Winkler for several years, animating his highly successful character, Oswald the Rabbit. When Mintz balked at putting more money into the series and in fact suggested lowering the production costs, Disney walked away. He also walked away from the rights to the "Oswald" character. So Disney created a new cartoon character in collaboration with veteran animator Ub Iwerks. They named the small rodent Mickey Mouse and although Mickey''s first cartoon was "Plane Crazy," it was "Steamboat Willie" that was released first, due to the addition of sound. Mickey was an overnight sensation and his antics would make him one of the most popular stars in the world. In fact, he was so popular that his cartoons were sometimes billed over the main attraction on theatre marquees. Disney began distributing Mickey''s cartoons through Pat Powers and then through Columbia pictures in 1928.Yet onc

Gulliver''s Travels (Paramount, 1939). Half Sheet (22" X 28"). Animators Dave and Max Fleischer made this film their first animated feature as a direct response to Disney''s "Snow White." Although the film was successful, it was no match for Disney''s features, and Paramount gave up the idea of competing with Disney. In retrospect, the film may have been an even bigger hit had the Fleischers followed through with their original plan to cast Popeye the Sailor in the role of Gulliver. There are border imperfections including: dings, chips, wrinkles, and small tears, as well as the typical fold lines with paper loss at the crossfolds. The poster has been professionally restored to look very good. This poster and the six sheet are very similar and are considered by most to be the best posters for the film. Fine- on Paper.

He single-handedly caught a famous escaped train bandit, which lead to him doing tours in the vaudeville circuit and eventually to making films. Sonney was responsible for most of the films of the 1930s where liquor, gambling, and sex lead to the ruin of young women. These pictures preached against sin and degradation - while depicting it in all its sordid splendor. Dan Sonney would follow in his father''s footsteps and become the most successful producer and distributor of Adults Only movies in America.

The Horror (Bud Pollard Productions, 1932). One Sheet (27" X 41"). Bud Pollard was an American producer/director/writer who was one of the most prolific producers of low-budget films in the history of cinema. In contrast however, are the posters Pollard had printed for his productions, which were usually very well done with colorful graphics and exciting illustrations. This is one of those rare instances when no one seems to know anything about this horror picture. It was apparently the first of six features planned for FP Productions, but the company must have gone bankrupt before any of the films were released. One thing is for sure, this "missing" film has a fantastic poster! There are border imperfections including paper loss, wrinkles, and small tears, as well as separation at the crossfolds, one small tear and one small hole in the graphics.

The film was incredibly inventive and intense for 1945, and in many places the film was considered too frightening to be shown! There are the typical fold lines plus two extra fold lines, foxing on the bottom border, and small border nicks and dings.

One of the best and most original horror films ever made concerned a group of people discussing their recurring nightmares that seem to have become real. For the American release of this British classic, Universal thought the film ran too long and cut two segments, leaving US audiences confused. Original British posters, or American posters for that matter, for this sought after title have always been scarce. These British (country of origin) lobbies are almost unheard of and it may be a very long time until these are seen again. Each card has approximately one pinhole per corner and exhibits slight smudging on a few of the scenes. Very Fine.

This engaging horror chiller stars Boris Karloff as the Baron of an eerie castle where evil deeds occur. Also starring in this Corman quickie was a young Jack Nicholson.

All of Karloff''s scenes were shot in just three days on sets borrowed from "The Raven," which were being torn down around them!

This lower budget affair, with the look of a much mightier bankroll, was one of Corman''s greatest successes, and led to his reputation of being able to turn a sow''s ear into a silk purse. Here Vincent Price descends into a maelstrom of horror and insanity in this adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe''s classic story. This set is exceptionally clean with only trivial border imperfections. This entire set of cards is extremely moody and features scenes from the Pit! From the Johnny Ramone collection. Very Fine +.

Hey, don''t get us wrong, we love the US style B one sheet- but this Australian poster, which copies the US sheet, is actually better! The poster was printed using zinc plate lithography (unlike the US which used offset) and the colors absolutely glow. Sharon Tate never looked better and the artwork under Tate and Ferdy Mane was executed by the legendary Frank Frazetta. If all of that isn''t enough, know that this witty, tongue-in-cheek comedy was directed to perfection by Roman Polanski- the only film the director was to make with his bride. One minor tear in the left border keeps this poster from grading Mint. Very Fine/Near Mint.

One of the roles he is most remembered for was that of the Cisco Kid in the 1940s, a character he portrayed in eleven films. Actually, Roland was the first and only genuine Mexican to portray the Cisco Kid on-screen. This poster represents the only film that Roland made in his native land. Translated, "Rebellion of the Ghosts", this comedy/horror/romance involves a hoard of famous ghosts (Chopin, Don Quixote, Sancho Panza, Romeo and Juliet, etc.) that enlist the aid of Roland to try and prevent an old house from being destroyed.

The Phantom of the Opera (Universal, 1943). Promotional Poster (19.75" X 33.5"). Claude Rains stars as the famous and horrifying Phantom, the much-feared fiend who haunts the Paris Opera House, in this 1943 re-make of the Universal/Lon Chaney horror classic.

There is light foxing, pinholes, border dings and bumps, and light wear at the crossfolds. These minor defects do little to distract and the poster displays very well. This poster is exceedingly rare. Fine+.

Lot #19646 (Sale Order 646 of 710)

The Phantom of the Opera (Universal, 1925). Insert (14" X 36"). Lon Chaney stars as the vengeful composer, who lives in the catacombs under an Opera house in Paris, in what is certainly his most famous and horrifying role. The film was shot in 1923, but was shelved for nearly two years before it was released. Many of the top executives at Universal didn''t think the film would do very well, but they were wrong. The film was a tremendous success at the box office and became the prototype for the horror film cycle at Universal during the 1930s. The unmasking scene still ranks as one of the most shocking of the horror genre. There are surface creases, tears, border chips, small holes, and some paper loss in the upper left corner. The poster has had professional restoration and conservation, minimizing these defects. Offered here is a scarce opportunity to acquire an ultra-rare poster for this Universal Horror classic. Fine on Paper.

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (Universal, 1948). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14"). The creepers are after Bud and Lou in this who''s who of terrific ghouls! By the time this picture was made, the careers of Abbott and Costello, one of the greatest comedy teams to ever work in motion pictures, were beginning to slump. At the same time, the monster series at Universal was starting to slide as well. A brilliant move on the studio''s part was to cast their beloved monsters with their popular comedians in this hilarious spoof! Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney, Glenn Strange, and the voice of Vincent Price were the foils for the famous duo. This card has slight darkening with age, a crease in the upper left corner border and a crease through the credits in the lower left credit area. There are also pinholes in the left and right side borders midway. Fine-.

Wilbur (Lou Costello) and Chick (Bud Abbott) are freight handlers extraordinaire who meet up with the trio of Universal horror giants.

A fellow actor informed them of their misconception and he was called in immediately to reprise his signature role. This scene card is in very clean shape with little apparent wear and tear. It does have a French Canadian "Film Censur" embossment in the lower right hand corner, though very difficult to see. It has two pin holes in each corner. Very Fine -.

This film was originally slated as a Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi vehicle. "Man Made Monster" was Chaney''s first starring venture in horror films, following in his father''s footsteps. There is fold line wear and separation, tears, small holes, border nicks, and aged cellophane tape on several spots on the back side.

The Invisible Man (Realart, 1951). Insert (14" X 36"). James Whale, director of "Frankenstein," takes on H.G. Welles'' tale of a scientist who discovers invisibility with disastrous results. Claude Rains portrays scientist Jack Griffin, a man who becomes insane from the side effects of the invisibility drug "monocane," and goes on a homicidal rampage, leaving hundreds of victims in his wake. Mortally wounded by police bullets at the end of the film, Griffin dies and slowly begins to reanimate. The incredible special effects by John P. Fulton and John Mescall show each layer of bone, nerves, and skin, coming together to give the viewers their first glimpse of the Invisible Man''s face. Rains'' verbal performance was so commanding that he became an overnight movie star, after working twenty years on the stage.

Son of Frankenstein (Universal, 1939). Lobby Card (11" X 14"). This was the last of the really great pictures from the Universal "Frankenstein" series. The lab scenes are visually marvelous especially when compared to most of the series films that came after. Basil Rathbone is the creator, Wolf Frankenstein, son of poor demented Harry. Bela Lugosi makes a prodigious Ygor, and Boris Karloff returns to his signature role as Frankenstein''s monster. The film was originally set to shoot in color, but after screen tests showed the monster''s makeup to appear garish in color, the studio reverted back to a B and W stock. There are small border bumps and pinholes, and light scuffs. This card not only features a great shot of the laboratory, but also features great images of Rathbone and Lugosi. Very Fine-.

The Return of the Vampire (Columbia, 1943). Lobby Card (11" X 14"). One of the amazing things about the lobby cards on "Return of the Vampire" is the number of impressive scenes featuring Bela Lugosi. This card is one of the best as he gets ready to put the bite on Frieda Inescort and has mesmerized her with his "trademark" hand gesture. Smudging on the borders and in the lower left of the image as well as a small stain in the lower border are the major distractions in the condition. There is very light smudging in the yellow background and one pinhole in the green area by the count''s shadow. There is also a "Suitable for adults only" stamp in the lower border. Fine.

Dracula''s Daughter (Universal, 1936). Window Card (14" X 22"). The story picks up immediately after the conclusion of "Dracula" with Van Helsing arrested for the murder of Count Dracula. The count''s daughter arrives in London hoping that she is now free of the vampire affliction, but she soon realizes that she will never be rid of her inherited blood lust! Gloria Holden stars as Countess Marya Zaleska, Dracula''s daughter, and Edward van Sloan reprises his role as Van Helsing. This window card is typical of others from Universal in the 1930s, instead of being printed in full color, it was executed in sepia tone. This window card has been paper-backed and the borders have been repainted. The left 1.5 inch of the poster has been restored. Very Good/Fine on Paper.

Lot #19689 (Sale Order 689 of 710)

In this sequel, Kharis travels to America where he finds the reincarnation of his lost love. The Realart reissues of the Universal Horror series are exceedingly popular among collectors as the originals are going for such huge sums these days. There is slight fold line wear and light wrinkles, otherwise the poster is in terrific condition. The Mummy''s eerie green luminescence is the focal point of the art, punctuated by the cowering female victim. Very Fine.

Lot #19690 (Sale Order 690 of 710)

The Man With Nine Lives (Columbia, 1940). One Sheet (27" X 41"). Boris Karloff stars as a "Mad Doctor" who is obsessed with finding a cure for cancer. He develops a revolutionary new serum, but his patients must be frozen and put into a state of suspended animation before the new drug can be administered. The trouble begins when Karloff is accidentally frozen with his patients and then thawed out many years later. He and his patients all awake alive and healthy, but when he finds out his formula has been destroyed, he goes mad in his attempt to recreate the serum. There is fold line wear with a touch more at the crossfolds, small border nicks, and pinholes. The poster has been restored in a minimalist fashion. Fine+ on Linen.

Lot #19691 (Sale Order 691 of 710)

After he is hung for his crimes, his assistant revives him using the technique the scientist developed. He begins to enact his revenge upon the judge, jury and executioners. Boris Karloff made a series of brilliant horror movies for Columbia in the late 1930s and "The Man They Could Not Hang" was one of his best. There is light fold line wear, paper loss in the upper left corner, and corner pinholes. The poster has been professionally restored, minimizing these defects. Very Fine+ on Linen.

Lot #19692 (Sale Order 692 of 710)

The Black Room (Columbia, 1935). Lobby Card (11" X 14"). Boris Karloff stars in this thriller set in the 18th century, portraying twin brothers cursed by a family legend that the younger of two twins will kill the older twin. It was a "tour de force" of acting for Karloff to make both characters unique from each other, and under Roy William Neill''s directing, Karloff shined. Neill would move from Columbia to Universal in the 1940s where he would create other stylish thrillers like "Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman" and a number of Sherlock Holmes adventures. This is an extremely rare title that has been sought after by horror fans for years. Other than a set of cards that turned up on Ebay last year, these cards were virtually unknown. There are three pinholes in each of the upper corners and one pinhole in each of the lower corners. Fine/Very Fine.

Lot #19693 (Sale Order 693 of 710)

The Ape (Monogram, 1940). Half Sheet (22" X 28"). Kurt Siodmak, famous for his horror films at Universal, wrote this tale of a mad scientist who murders people when he is dressed as a rampaging ape. Boris Karloff is the scientist who needs fluid from human spinal cords to find a cure for paralysis. Karloff was a natural for the picture and this half sheet features the star amidst a terrified cast of victims. Folded with pinholes in the corners, the borders also show wear including light crinkling and creasing. Fine- on Linen.

Lot #19694 (Sale Order 694 of 710)

The Invisible Ray (Universal, 1935). Lobby Card (11" X 14"). Bela Lugosi stars as the scientist who uses the Radium X-Ray for good in this early sci-fi classic that teamed him with Universal''s other horror legend, Boris Karloff. Lugosi is seen on the card manning the X-Ray. Karloff is in the mask. This card has only four pinholes in it with foxing on the right border. Very Fine.

Lot #19695 (Sale Order 695 of 710)

The Vanishing Body (Realart, 1953). Half Sheet (22" X 28"). This Realart re-release of the classic "Black Cat" has incest, murder, torture, devil worship and perverse psychological obsessions layered throughout the film, as Karloff and Lugosi play a game of chess to determine the fate of a young couple. Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi were cast together for their first horror film in Edgar G. Ulmer''s adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe''s classic tale. The film is one of the true masterpieces of the horror genre and has so many ghoulish oddities it''s hard to imagine how the film was made in 1934! There are surface wrinkles, small border bumps and tears, scuffs, and the typical fold lines. This half sheet features great images of the two Universal horror legends and is a nice alternative to the costly originals. Fine+.

Lot #19696 (Sale Order 696 of 710)

The Walking Dead (Warner Brothers, R-1942). Insert (14" X 36"). For years this poster has been mis-described as being reissued in 1939. The fact that this insert is on flat paper stock and not linen finish should substantiate that the poster was not reissued in 1939 as has been previously accepted. Many of Warner''s pictures from the 1930''s were reissued between 1942 and 1945 due to the cutback in film production during World War II. Those screens still needed to be filled, so classics like "The Walking Dead" were brought back from the vaults.The condition of this insert is fantastic with only minimal wear to the three fold lines. There are faint stains in the lower border and two tack holes in each of the upper corners. There are some very minor horizontal scratches in the upper portion of the insert that go across Karloff''s face, however these do not break the surface of paper and are not overly distractive. Fine+.

Lot #19697 (Sale Order 697 of 710)

The Walking Dead (Warner Brothers, 1936). Poster (40" X 60"). Boris Karloff stars in this macabre tale of terror as a convict recently released from prison and framed for the murder of another man. After he is executed for the crime, his body is brought back to life by a scientist. Karloff stalks down the men who framed him for the murder and kills them with a glance. Michael Curtiz directed this thriller with impressive skill. Original posters on this title are next to impossible to find which makes anything on this title very desirable. That being said, this is the only 40" X 60" to have ever surfaced and, in our opinion, it''s the best poster issued on the film. Karloff''s portrait as the rejuvenated corpse is an art deco masterpiece. If you miss out on this one you may never have a chance at it again! As far we know, it''s the only copy in existence. Mild creasing and wear to the borders. Fine/Very Fine.

Lot #19698 (Sale Order 698 of 710)

The Mask of Fu Manchu (MGM, 1932). Lobby Card (11" X 14"). This was M.G.M.''s film version of Sax Rohmer''s classic novel. Boris Karloff stars as the fiendish Dr. Fu Manchu, an evil oriental doctor who is trying to steal the scimitar and golden mask of Genghis Khan, artifacts that will give him the power to conquer the world. Fu Manchu is assisted in this quest by his daughter Fah Lo See (Myrna Loy). Together they manage to torture various prominent people in imaginative ways as they work toward developing a death ray that will lay waste to the earth''s population. Under the doctor''s serum, Karloff tries to persuade Starret to tell him where the mask and sword of Genghis Kahn are hidden. This card is truly spectacular and exceedingly rare. There is slight border toning and one pinhole, otherwise this card is in pristine condition. From the Johnny Ramone Collection. Near Mint.

Lot #19699 (Sale Order 699 of 710)

The Mask of Fu Manchu (MGM, 1932). Lobby Card (11" X 14"). Looking to complete that Lobby Card set on one of the rarest horror films of the 1930s? This great scene from "The Mask of Fu Manchu" captures Karen Morley and Charles Starret looking in horror at one of Sax Rohmer''s villain''s diabolical torture devices. The card exhibits one pinhole per corner, and a long nine inch diagonal crease in the lower left. There is a small chip out of the upper border, a slight dust shadow in the area, and a "Suitable for Adults Only" stamp in the upper center border. Fine-.

Lot #19700 (Sale Order 700 of 710)

Ghost of Frankenstein (Universal, 1942). Lobby Card (11" X 14"). Although this is a "long shot," most collectors feel that this is the best card from this classic horror set. Lon Chaney makes his only appearance as Frankenstein''s monster and Bela Lugosi reprises his role as Ygor; the character he first created in "Son of Frankenstein." This card is one of the most "moody" ever created for a Universal horror film. The colors are bright, but several "foxing" spots appear in the borders as well as the interior image. There are two to three pinholes per corner, and two pinholes in each of the upper center and lower center borders. There is a small 3/4 inch tear in the center of the left border. Fine.

In the field of movie poster collecting, the most desirable items are those from the Universal horror series, and of those, "Frankenstein" is considered the most desirable title.

Clean borders and crisp colors make this card shine in the pantheon of lobbies!

Frankenstein (Realart, R-1951). (2) Lobby Cards (11" X 14"). This lot depicts two pivotal scenes from James Whale''s classic adaptation of Mary Shelly''s legendary horror story. Both cards feature Colin Clive and Dwight Frye as Doctor Frankenstein and his assistant Fritz. As a point of interest, Fritz didn''t exist in the original Shelly story, but was created by Richard Brinsley Peake for his 1823 stage play! The character was so popular that he was used in all later adaptations including Universal''s motion picture in 1931. Both of these cards are in Mint condition.

Lot #19708 (Sale Order 708 of 710)

The Bride of Frankenstein (Universal, 1935). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14"). James Whale''s lasting contribution to the cinema was a sense of humor and style, on full display in "The Bride of Frankenstein." The film was a major hit for Universal and many critics feel it is the best film to emerge from the horror series of pictures created by the studio. Karloff reprises his role as the Monster, and Elsa Lancaster, with a shock white streak of hair, co-stars as the monster''s mate. The card is in spectacular condition, with only two pinholes in each of the upper corners (one in the art and one in the border of each corner), and one pinhole in each of the two lower corners. There is also one pinhole in each of the upper and lower center borders. These flaws are extremely minor and do not detract from the overall impact of the card. The most intrusive defect in the card are from a "Suitable Only for Adults" stamp in the bottom border and a very slight bleed from another stamped card that impr

Lot #19709 (Sale Order 709 of 710)

The Bride of Frankenstein (Universal, 1935). Lobby Card (11" X 14"). Ernest Thesiger as the evil Dr. Pretorius assists Dr. Frankenstein (Colin Clive) in helping their latest creation take her first tentative steps. This was the moment audiences waited for as, at last, the bandages were about to be removed and Frankenstein''s mate was to be revealed. This card has had moderate restoration to the border areas, replacing several small chips. A small tear extends from the border into the border art of Valerie Hobson''s face, and another small tear which extends from the border into the table next to Elsa Lancaster''s head, were also repaired. This work was done beautifully rendering the defects undetectable to the eye. Provenance: From the Johnny Ramone Collection. Very Good/Fine.

Lot #19710 (Sale Order 710 of 710)

The Bride of Frankenstein (Universal, 1935). Lobby Card (11" X 14"). Colin Clive and Ernest Thesiger make their final preparations to bring the Monster''s Mate to life in this memorable scene from James Whale''s classic horror film. Thesiger has cadaverous intensity as he stares down upon his creation. Lobbies from this title are in high demand. Two pinholes in each of the corners along with very minor light corner creases to each of the upper corners, are this card''s only distractions. The lower border also bears a stamp "Suitable only for adults." Very Fine.
