Date Sold 9/20/2018Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 2 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Torchy Plays With Dynamite, the 1939 Noel M. Smith female detective crime solver thriller sequel ("From an original story by Scott Littleton"; "Based on characters created by Frederick Nebel"; one of a series with the same lead character) starring Jane Wyman (in the title role as Torchy Blane; at one time married to President Ronald Reagan), Allen Jenkins, Tom Kennedy, Sheila Bromley, and Joe Cunningham. Apparently, this movie started with the working title of "Playing with Dynamite", and then was changed to "Torchy Goes to Town", but ended up released as "Torchy Plays with Dynamite" (the IMDb says that the official title is "Torch Blane... Playing with Dynamite"). Note that the first Torchy Blane movie was made in 1937, called "Smart Blonde", and it starred Glenda Farrell in the lead role. There were a total of nine Torchy Blane movies. Farrell played the lead in seven of them. In two of the ones near the end of the series, Jane Wyman and Lola Lane filled in for Farrell, perhaps because she had other commitments. The series only lasted for two years, but was quite popular.

This was printed by Associated Displays Corporation which was a company based in New York City. Before it was discovered by noted poster dealer/historian Walter Reuben, collectors did not know the name of this company (and thought it to be located in the Midwest), and it is often referred to as the "other company" (and we will continue to refer to it that way, since collectors know it that way). From 1936 to roughly 1941, this company printed its own one-sheets and lobby card sets (and a very few inserts, half-sheets, three-sheets, 40x60s and stills) for three major studio movies (Warner Brothers, Paramount and United Artists, but no other studios). The items almost always feature a tiny legal disclaimer and cast credits only. The posters and lobby cards are from the original release of the movie, and almost always have completely different artwork from the regular studio release. They did this by combining elements from different film scenes onto one poster or card. Sometimes, "other company" posters have images that are the equal of those from the regular studio release posters. Condition: good to very good. The card pictured at top has a few tack holes around the edges and a diagonal crease at upper left in the blank border . The other card has tiny blank border tear and a few very faint scuff marks around the edges, but overall both are in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
