An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Swiss Miss, the 1938 John G. Blystone romantic Switzerland screwball comedy ("In a big, lavish, musical super feature"; "Original story by Jean Negulesco and Charles Rogers"; produced by Hal Roach; about two mouse trap salesmen who go broke in Switzerland, and they get jobs in a hotel, and get involved with a chambermaid who is actually a famous opera singer spying on her husband) starring Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy (Laurel and Hardy), Della Lind, Walter Woolf King, Eric Blore, Grete Natzler, Adia Kuznetzoff, and Charles Gemora (as the man in the gorilla suit, in a memorable sequence where Laurel and Hardy are trying to move a piano over a rope bridge). Note that Charles Gemora played gorillas in many movies, likely because he owned a gorilla suit, and could do a somewhat convincing job portraying a gorilla. Just a few years later, Ray 'Crash' Corrigan would also start playing gorillas, and no doubt they competed for roles in every movie requiring a gorilla!

This means the lobby card was backed onto a board backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original lobby card (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Condition: good. The bottom center circular title area was cut out (likely because a new title was put in its place). The card also had pinholes in the corners and in the center of each border, and some tiny paper loss in just a few parts of the borders. There were a few smudges and stains around the edges of the card and there was a pinhole in the top of Hardy's hat. Someone expertly paperbacked the card and re-created the missing title area, and they performed border restoration and did touch up to the tiny defects within the image. The card looks really great, and I think very few collectors would realize the title area had been replaced, and there is no restoration in the face or figures of Laurel & Hardy or the girl. But please do not bid on this card unless you have read the above carefully, and have carefully studied our super-sized image! Learn More about condition grades
