They Won't Forget, the 1937 Mervyn LeRoy anti-Semitic frame-up Southern courtroom lawyer murder mystery crime melodrama ("Talk and DIE..."; "Until Now their lips were frozen with fear!"; "The story the nation whispered now thunders from the screen!"; "The picture the whole world is talking about!"; taken directly from the 1915 Mary Phagan murder case, and it follows the facts very closely; in that case, a 14 year-old white Georgia girl was found murdered, and she worked in a factory owned by a Jewish man named Leo Frank, and even though all evidence pointed towards the black janitor, the publisher of the leading Atlanta newspaper chose to create a case against Frank, both because he was a Northerner and because he was Jewish; after a sensational case with little evidence, Frank was found guilty and sentenced to death; the governor of Georgia commuted his sentence to life imprisonment, which ended his career; while on the way to prison, Frank was kidnapped and lynched; the entire sordid story was documented in the novel "Death in the Deep South" by Aben Kandel, and it was that novel that was the basis for this movie; in reality, one year after the events, the black janitor in fact confessed to the murder; the movie had one substantial difference from the book and from reality, which is that it did not ever explicitly state in any way in the movie that the man was Jewish, but we believe most viewers were able to "put two and two together") starring Claude Rains, Gloria Dickson, Edward Norris, Otto Kruger, Allyn Joslyn, Lana Turner (super young in her very first role, as the sexy teenager who is murdered early in the movie!), and Elisabeth Risdon. Note that Hollywood is known for its willingness to bend and stretch the truth, but surely one of the most amazing examples of this was when this movie was re-released in 1956, Lana Turner was top billed, even though she was barely in the movie, and a much older image of her was used on the poster. We can't imagine how deceived those 1956 moviegoers felt!

Important Added Info: 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.

We are doing something in this set of auctions we rarely do! A couple of years ago, we were approached by a very long time collector, and he asked us if he could give us an entire auction of single lobby cards by himself. We agreed, and held that auction in 2017, and later that same year, a different collector sent us a different group of 999 lobby cards and we repeated the process. Now we have a third such "single owner" collection. This one was originally assembled in Australia, which is why some of the cards have either Australian paper snipes attached or Australian ratings stamps (but many do not have them). This collection originally contained 1,100 cards, and we auctioned 100 of them in our March Major Auction, and now we are auctioning the remaining 999 in THIS set of auctions, and after this auction, there will be no more cards to be offered. As will immediately be evident when you look at the cards, many of them are from titles where you almost never see any lobby cards, so this is a rare opportunity to acquire many cards that almost never are offered for sale or at auction!
