Auction History Result 3f0750 NANCY DREW & THE HIDDEN STAIRCASE Other Company LC 1939 Bonita Granville, Frankie Thomas, rare! Date Sold 11/22/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase, the 1939 William Clemens crime mystery comedy ("Based on the Nancy Drew stories by Caroline Keene") starring Bonita Granville (in the title role as Nancy Drew), Frankie Thomas, John Litel, Frank Orth, Renie Riano, and Vera Lewis. Note that original movie paper of any kind from any of the four Nancy Drew movie adaptations of the late 1930s are EXTREMELY rare! It seems likely that dedicated Nancy Drew collectors located what little material there was in the movie poster hobby in the 1960s and removed it then. One almost never sees even a single lobby card from any of the four movies offered for sale! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper items from this movie are incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a one-sheet, a scene lobby card, and a few stills from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind). Now we have been consigned THREE lobby cards, a title card, a scene card (different from the one we auctioned before), and an "other company" card, which we are auctioning in three separate auctions! 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. 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: very good. There are some pinholes around the edges and a piece of tape on the back of the center of the top border, but otherwise, the card is in nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
