Date Sold 3/17/2009Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (11x14; LC; measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) The Wet Parade, the 1932 Victor Fleming New York City alcoholism Prohibition family relationship historical melodrama ("Jimmy 'Schnozzle' Durante SLAYS YOU! In The Wet Parade"; based on the novel "By Upton Sinclair"; about two families that are severely hurt by the effects of Prohibition, which resulted in more alcohol consumption than ever; interestingly, the movie separately follows the two families, and then brings them together by having the children of the families unite romantically) starring Dorothy Jordan, Walter Huston, Lewis Stone, Robert Young (in his fourth credited movie role!), Neil Hamilton, Jimmy Durante (in a bizarre cameo as a bearded federal agent!), and Myrna Loy. Note that there is an oddity to the billing of this movie. The first release insert shows the stars in the above order (but Myrna Loy is not billed at all) and the herald has the stars in a slightly diff order, but Myrna Loy is still not billed. We don't know why the billing would be different between the insert and the herald. We also don't know why Myrna Loy was not billed at all, and we suspect it was because she was not yet established as a "MGM actress". She had been making movies for a number of different studios the past few years, and perhaps MGM was reluctant to promote her. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good. There is a tear and tiny paper loss in the center of the top border, pinholes in the top corners, a tiny tear in the upper left border, a tiny tear in the middle of the bottom border, and creases in the bottom left corner. The card was used somewhere where they stamped "FOR GENERAL EXHIBITION" in the middle of the bottom blank border. Other than the above, the card is in nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back of the card! Learn More about condition grades
