eMoviePoster.comDid you know... that 8x10 stills were sometimes displayed on the back of old lobby cards?Return to Did You Know Archive Added: 06/20/2011 The backs of some outdated lobby cards were
overprinted with a solid rectangular pattern. This was sometimes done in the
1950s and 1960s by some theater owners, so that old lobby cards could be re-used as "frames" for 8x10 stills,
which were then displayed in lobby card frames, or just as they were.
Sometimes when a still was attached to the back of these cards they would tape
or staple it in place, and sometimes they would instead 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.
