Date Sold 5/21/2015Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Other Company Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Torchy Blane in Panama, the 1938 William Clemens Central America detective reporter romantic mystery crime thriller sequel ("A new Torchy! ..up to her old tricks!"; "Based upon the characters created by Fredrick Nebel"; one of a series featuring the same character) starring Lola Lane (in the title role as Torchy Blane), Paul Kelly, Tom Kennedy, Anthony Averill, George Regas, and Larry Williams. 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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. 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, but many years later, noted poster dealer/historian Walter Reuben discovered that the name of the company was "Associated Displays Corporation" and that they were based in Manhattan, New York (oddly, no collectors knew the name of this company for decades!). 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: fair to good. The poster was never folded. It has many stains around the edges. It has a 4" tear near the center of the top border. Otherwise, the poster is in pretty good condition. Learn More about condition grades
