An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 9 1/2" x 14" [24 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Virgins of Bali, the 1932 Deane H. Dickason Indonesia marriage rituals jungle documentary ("All-native cast") featuring Ni Wayan Tagel, Ni Wayan Grio, Ni Wayan Ugembon, T. Kaler, and I. Maria. This documentary followed two sisters, one 12 and one 16, and the 16 year-old is about to be married (as was the custom in Bali at that time), and the movie shows the intricate rituals that the families go through prior to the wedding (and no doubt the film's grosses were greatly increased by the fact that the sisters and many other women in the movies appeared topless!). Note that we have now seen lobby cards that are full-color and on a "heavy" paper consistent with that of 1930s lobby cards, but there are ones that are from Imperial Distributing, and others that are from Principal Adventures, and the Imperial ones have "COUNTRY OF ORIGIN U.S.A." in the bottom blank border, while the Principal ones have "MADE IN U.S.A." within the bottom edge of the image! We know that the movie was distributed through the "states rights" system, meaning that different distributors bought the rights to distribute it in different states. Therefore, we think it is extremely likely that the cards from both distributors are both from the first release in 1932, and we identify them as such. If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card has been trimmed and it now measures 9 1/2" x 14" [24 x 36 cm]. Also note that this card contains unclothed women, so we have placed white bars over those areas, for those who are bothered by such images. Of course, the actual card does not have those white bars! Condition: good. The card has been trimmed and measures 9 1/2" x 14". There is no writing on the card, except for a tiny "MADE IN U.S.A." at the bottom right of the image. We don't know where the writing would have been, because the only other card that we have seen from this movie, which we at the time thought was from the 1932 release, we now think is from a 1930s re-release. Please do not bid on this card unless you can accept that it has been trimmed and has no writing on it. Other than the trimming, the card has a 1/2" tear in the middle of the left border, but is otherwise in excellent condition! Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
