Date Sold 3/17/2019Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage EMO Movie Club Photo (measures 8" x 10") (Learn More) Carole Lombard was an actress from the 1920s to the 1940s. In her early movies, she mostly had minor supporting roles in comedies, and she was billed as "Carol", but she added the "e" as she became a major star. One of her greatest successes was Twentieth Century, where she played a girl who has never acted, who becomes a great star under the tutelage of Svengali-like John Barrymore. Some of her other movies include: To Be or Not To Be, My Man Godfrey (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Mr. and Mrs. Smith. In the early 1930s, she married William Powell, but they amicably divorced, and several years later, she had a torrid love affair with Clark Gable, and they later married. Lombard died tragically in a 1942 plane crash when she was at the height of her career. She was just 33 years old. Important Added Info: In the past, we have called photos like these "picture frame photos", because we thought they were ones that were used as sample portraits in picture frames for sale. While there ARE many photos that are like that, these are not those, as we have just discovered! These are on a special paper that has a linen-like finish. They were originally issued in sets of 12 or more between 1935 and 1938 (at least). We know that there were at least 18 sets issued in 1938 alone, so there were definitely hundreds of different ones of these portraits. The EMO Movie Club was based in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and they had an elaborate system whereby you joined the club (and got others to join) and they then gave away and sold these sets to club members. In addition, club members got discounts from various movie theaters. If anyone knows more about the EMO Movie Club or these portraits, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good.
