An Original Vintage Theatrical Other Company Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Torchy Blane in Chinatown, the 1939 William Beaudine female mystery reporter crime thriller (based on characters created by Frederick Nebel; Original story "The Purple Hieroglyph", one of a series featuring the same main character, by Murray Leinster) starring Glenda Farrell (in the title role as Torchy Blane), Barton MacLane, Henry O'Neill, Patric Knowles, and Tom Kennedy. Note that the first Torchy Blane movie was made in 1937, called "Smart Blonde", and it starred Glenda Farrell in the lead role. There were a total of nine Torchy Blane movies. Farrell played the lead in seven of them. In two of the ones near the end of the series, Jane Wyman and Lola Lane filled in for Farrell, perhaps because she had other commitments. The series only lasted for two years, but was quite popular. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this was printed by the "other company". This was a company in the Midwest that from roughly 1936 to roughly 1941 printed its own one-sheets and lobby card sets (and a very few inserts, half-sheets, three-sheets, 40x60s and stills) for three major studio movies (Warner Brothers, Paramount and United Artists, but no other studios). The posters and lobby cards are from the original release of the movie, and almost always have completely different artwork from the regular studio release. They never have the name of the releasing studio on the poster or any of the lobby cards. Sometimes, "other company" posters or lobby cards have images that are the equal of those from the regular studio release posters or lobby cards! Condition: good to very good. There are a few scuffs in the image, including one in Farrell's cheek and one in her credit. There are tiny staple holes in the corners. There is a piece of paper tape on the back of the center of the top border, but it was not put there for any restoration purpose. Learn More about condition grades
