An Original Vintage Theatrical Chapter #1 (The Master Magician) Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Whispering Shadow, the 1933 Al Herman & Colbert Clark (billed as "Bert Clark") horror crime murder mystery serial ("12 episodes of mystery, intrigue, and romance."; "Mascot Serials 'Blazing the Trail'"; "A serial thriller in twelve chapters"; about a criminal who commits murders through the clever use of television and radio waves, and a man whose brother was killed by that criminal, known as The Whispering Shadow, arrives to investigate his brother's death and his suspicions fall on the man who owns a creepy wax museum!) starring Bela Lugosi (in the title role as The Whispering Shadow), Henry B. Walthall, Karl Dane, Roy D'Arcy, Viva Tattersall, and Robert Warwick. Note that most of the lobby cards that have survived from this serial have a chapter title in the bottom border. There are also a few cards that are blank in that area. We suspect those are from a "feature" version of this serial. 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 first release lobby cards from this serial are very rare. The full-color cards from chapter 1 are even more rare. We have never before auctioned any chapter 1 lobby card, until we are now offering the title card from chapter 1! Condition: good to very good. The card had some pinholes around the edges. It had small paper loss in three blank corners and in the center of the bottom border, caused by rough removal of the pins. It had water staining in the left of the bottom blank border. It had a 4" tear in the right border extending into Lugosi's forehead and it had some smudges, scuffs, and a few dot stains scattered in the image. A talented restorer gel backed the card (meaning they backed the card onto a gel material) and they then performed excellent restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, so that the card still exactly looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. You can see slight signs of the restoration, but the card displays really well! Learn More about condition grades
