Auction History Result 6c276 LONE DEFENDER TC '34 dog hero Rin-Tin-Tin in full-color standing guard, Mascot, ultra rare! Date Sold 4/20/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Lone Defender, the 1934 Richard Thorpe canine German Shepherd dog action adventure cowboy western ("Mystery... romance... adventure... Rin-Tin-Tin's greatest picture"; "With an all star cast"; a feature-length re-edit of the 1930 serial of the same name) starring Rin Tin Tin (most famous of the movie dog stars, he was Warner Bros.' #1 star in their early lean years and the earnings from his movies kept the studio in the black!), Walter Miller, June Marlowe, Buzz Barton, and Joseph Swickard. Note that because this "feature version" was made four years after the serial version, and because it was highly edited, we are listing it as a separate entry. However, note that there is somewhat of a "mystery" about this feature version. The IMDb clearly says it was not made until 1934, four years after the serial, but we have seen lobby cards that appear to be from the feature version (because they have no serial identification and say "A Mascot Picture" instead of "A Mascot Serial"), and yet, they look incredibly similar to the 1930 serial lobby cards, right down to the hand coloring look to them! So it is possible that the IMDb is wrong and that the feature version came out in 1930 (and possibly was re-released in 1934, which would explain the IMDb's mistake). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that, as noted above, this card appears to be from the 1934 feature version. But it looks so similar to the 1930 serial lobby cards, that we think that it is either from the serial, or that the feature version was actually first released in 1930, and not 1934. But this is all guesswork, so do not bid on this card thinking it is surely from 1930, because it may well be a 1934 card from the feature version. Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: good to very good. There is small paper loss in the bottom blank corners and a few creases, tiny tears, and tiny bits of surface paper loss around the edges. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
