An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Red Headed Woman, the 1932 Jack Conway romantic comedy (according to IMDB, F. Scott Fitzgerald was an uncredited writer for this film; based on the book by Katharine Brush) starring Jean Harlow, Chester Morris, Lewis Stone, Leila Hyams, Una Merkel, May Robson, and Charles Boyer. Note that this movie was famous as the one where Jean Harlow dyed her trademark platinum blonde hair red. Because the movie is black & white, it is not very obvious that her hair is red (although it is clearly not platinum blonde), but in the lobby cards, her red hair is very prominent! Also note that Charles Boyer was a college graduate with a philosophy degree, and he appeared in a few movies in his early 20s. He had greater success in talking movies, thanks to his distinctive French accent (which Chuck Jones "borrowed" for his character Pepe Le Pew), but he had his greatest success in Hollywood in the early 1940s, when many of the top U.S. stars were away in World War II.

This means the lobby card was backed onto a very light paper backing (acid-free), that keeps the "feel" of the lobby card similar to that of the original lobby card. Some restorers prefer to paperback lobby cards on to a heavy backing, while others prefer to use a very lightweight backing. The advantage of a lightweight backing is that the card still "feels" like a regular lobby card, but a heavier backing makes restoration easier to do and less noticeable. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. Prior to paperbacking, the card had pinholes, paper loss, and tears around the edges, and it was heavily stained throughout. Overall, the lobby card was in fair condition prior to paperbacking. A restorer did the best they could to remove the staining, but they did not want to repaint the entire card, so they had to leave it where you can still clearly see evidence of the stains scattered throughout. Please do not bid on this card unless you can accept this significant defect and have looked closely at our super-sized images. Learn More about condition grades
