eMoviePoster.comAuction History Result 7w153 CORONADO 8 LCs '35 Alice White, Johnny Downs, Burgess, Jack Haley, one censored! Date Sold 6/4/2015Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 8 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Coronado, the 1935 Norman Z. McLeod romantic musical (about a show business couple and the girl's sister who is married to a sailor, and the romantic complications they encounter) starring Johnny Downs, Betty Burgess, Jack Haley, Andy Devine, Alice White, Leon Errol and Eddy Duchin & Orchestra. Note that Johnny Downs had appeared in the Our Gang comedies in 1925 and 1926 (not surprisingly, he played "Johnny"!). He was one of the few child actors who successfully transitioned to adult roles. In the mid 1950s, he hosted a kids show on TV, and later, he became a successful real estate investor. He passed away in 1994 at the age of 80. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that these cards were used in a movie theater in Canada, and in the second card at left in our image (with the stars walking arm in arm) the star at right has had her body over-painted quite neatly with a full dress (in the original lobby card she is wearing a one-piece bathing suit!). I know from long experience that this paint is the kind that bonds with the card and CAN'T be removed from the card without removing much of the ink underneath it, so this can be considered a major defect (although some might think it is pretty amazing to realize the extent of censorship that was present at that time in Canada!) Note that this auction also includes the envelope this item originally came with! Condition: good to very good. Each has a Canadian censor stamp at lower right. The card pictured second at left in our first image has been neatly over-painted (see above). The cards are otherwise in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
