An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More)

The Big Shot, the 1937 Edward Killy gangster mob crime screwball comedy ("Screen play by Arthur T. Horman and Bert Granet"; a wacky story of a small town veterinarian who inherits two million dollars from his long lost uncle; he decides to use it to rid his small town of its criminal element, but he doesn't know that his uncle was the head of the crime syndicate in his town, and that the criminals consider the two million dollars "theirs", and they want it back!) starring Guy Kibbee, Cora Witherspoon, Dorothy Moore, Gordon Jones, and Russell Hicks

Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned a single lobby card from this movie! Note that in the days immediately following World War I, there were a huge amount of returning veterans who could not find jobs, and labor was cheap and plentiful. This likely explains why the studios began hand-coloring lobby cards, and they also would sometimes have glitter applied to the letters of the title card! This was incredibly time consuming, because it was done to every single card one by one (in the case of the glitter, the person would apply glue to the letters, then shake glitter over the card, and let it dry, just as we all did in kindergarten!). As economic conditions improved in the country, and as printing technology also improved, these methods of decorating cards vanished! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has.

Condition: good to very good. As noted above, there is glitter on Kibbee's credit and the title. There are also some tape repairs on the back of the borders.
