An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Frisco Kid, the 1935 Lloyd Bacon San Francisco California waterfront gambling casino romantic crime thriller ("With a blast of dynamite... he rocks the bloody cradle of modern gangdom!"; about a tough sailor who is shanghaied to San Francisco's notorious Barbary Coast, and he rises to where he runs a major casino, but he is unable to win the woman of his dreams) starring James Cagney, Margaret Lindsay, Ricardo Cortez, Lili Damita, Donald Woods, Barton MacLane, George E. Stone, Addison Richards, Joe Sawyer, and Fred Kohler NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is an unbelievably rare 1935 scene lobby card from this James Cagney movie (see below for much more about this). This is the very first 1935 scene lobby card we have EVER auctioned (we previously auctioned a 1935 title card), and we have NEVER auctioned a 1935 poster! Why is 1935 first release movie paper from this James Cagney movie so incredibly rare? This is almost surely because the movie had a quick re-release in 1944 (when Warner Bros.' top stars were away at war), and the 1935 first release items were likely all used up or thrown away at that time. To make matters more confusing, the 1944 scene lobby cards are unmarked re-releases, and they are often mistakenly sold as 1935 originals. The 1944 title card has "RE-RELEASED" in small letters in the bottom right, and it has a completely different image from that of this 1935 first release title card, which has a great headshot of Cagney with a sailor's cap. Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: good to very good. There are many pinholes around the edges (some enlarged), with a few smudges and faint stains. There is a 2" irregular tear in the bottom border that extends into the "sc" of "Frisco" (see our image). Someone put tape on the back of that area and the original tape is gone, and someone put a new piece of clear tape on the back of that area. In spite of the above defects, we would think most collectors could happily display this card as it is (because most of the defects are around the edges), or certainly restoration could be performed.
