An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Romance on the Beat, the 1945 Bud Pollard All American Variety black African American musical ("An All-American streamlined feature!"; "All-Star Colored Cast") starring Ida James (billed as "featuring Ida James the 'Shoo-shoo Baby' Girl"), Lloyd Lionel, Randall Moages, Jimmy Fuller, Hugh Walke, and Tiny Dickerson. Note that Ida James was a "honey-voiced" singer/actress who only appeared in a few movies, but one was a short where she did a duet with Nat King Cole, and another was the classic Hi-De-Ho with Cab Calloway. If anyone knows more about this movie (which was distributed by the All American company, which seems to have pretty much only distributed all black movies and shorts), please e-mail us and we will post it here.

Important Added Info: Note that many "all-black" movies of the 1940s were shown by exhibitors who took these low-budget movies around the country in the 1940s, exhibiting them in small towns to all-black audiences! Often, the lobby cards from these 1940s re-releases consisted of a stock lobby card with an inset area that was 8" x 10", and the producers would glue or staple eight different 8x10s on to eight stock lobby cards, thus inexpensively creating an 8 card set. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
