Important Added Info: Note that the back of this card was overprinted with a solid rectangular pattern. This was commonly done in the 1950s so that old lobby cards could be re-used as "frames" for 8x10 stills. This IS an original lobby card. Condition: fair to good. When a still was attached to the back of the card (see above), someone cut four diagonal slits in each corner of the image, and cut out a small triangle area by each slit. They put the corners of the still into each slit from the back of the card, and then taped the still into place from the front of the card. The tape is long gone, but there are four triangular areas of paper loss (with thin pieces of cardboard taped to the back of the paper loss with the front colored to match the missing parts of the image) and four tape stains in each corner of the image.
