An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) 42nd Street, the classic 1933 Lloyd Bacon New York City Broadway theater stage acting romantic love triangle all-star musical ("14 stars 200 girls"; based on the novel by Bradford Ropes; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; with dances staged by Busby Berkeley) starring Dick Powell, Edward J. Nugent, Ginger Rogers, Warner Baxter, Bebe Daniels, George Brent, Ruby Keeler, Una Merkel, Guy Kibbee, Margaret La Marr, Donna Mae Roberts, Adele Lacy, Jayne Shaddack, George E. Stone, Ned Sparks, Ruth Eddings, Edna Callahan, Lynn Browning, Toby Wing, Loretta Andrews, Barbara Rogers, and Allen Jenkins. Note that this movie, which may be the first sound movie to use the cliche of the star being injured and an untested newcomer gets her big break as a result, had some of the most risque advertising of any movie ever, with many images of girls wearing the skimpiest of costumes! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the lobby card was backed onto a heavy paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original lobby card (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards.
UPDATED 10/26/2015: Note that we initially identified the actresses on this card as Ginger Rogers, Bebe Daniels and Ruby Keeler. However, that is incorrect. The one in white is Margaret La Marr, and the other two are likely Jayne Shaddack & Donna Mae Roberts. We have updated the auction accordingly. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. Prior to paperbacking, the card had smudges, pinholes, tears, and tiny paper loss around the edges, with some faint smudges scattered in the image. Overall, the lobby card was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The card was pretty well backed, but the restorer left alone the smudges within the image (not wanting to paint over large areas), so you can see slight signs of those. But the card displays nicely from any reasonable viewing distance! Learn More about condition grades
