Edgar Hoover's book 'Persons in Hiding'"; based on the novel 'Persons in Hiding' by J. Edgar Hoover, long-time head of the FBI; about an older lady who is the head of a gang of crooks; she is based on the real life "Ma Barker", but the names were changed in the movie, no doubt to protect the innocent) starring Ralph Bellamy, Blanche Yurka (in the title role as Ma Webster), J. Carrol Naish, Jeanne Cagney (billed as "Jean Cagney"), William Henry, Richard Denning, Paul Kelly, and James Seay. Note that Blanche Yurka is best remembered for playing the evil Madame De Farge in 1935's "A Tale of Two Cities", and she matched that performance in this movie!

Important Added Info: 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. We are doing something in this set of auctions we rarely do! A couple of years ago, we were approached by a very long time collector, and he asked us if he could give us an entire auction of single lobby cards by himself. We agreed, and held that auction in 2017, and later that same year, a different collector sent us a different group of 999 lobby cards and we repeated the process. Now we have a third such "single owner" collection. This one was originally assembled in Australia, which is why some of the cards have either Australian paper snipes attached or Australian ratings stamps (but many do not have them). This collection originally contained 1,100 cards, and we auctioned 100 of them in our March Major Auction, and now we are auctioning the remaining 999 in THIS set of auctions, and after this auction, there will be no more cards to be offered. As will immediately be evident when you look at the cards, many of them are from titles where you almost never see any lobby cards, so this is a rare opportunity to acquire many cards that almost never are offered for sale or at auction! Condition: good to very good. The card was used in Australia and there is an Australian rating stamp in the right yellow border. There are some pinholes in the corners and some other small defects scattered around the edges. See our super-sized images to get a good sense of the condition of this card. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
