Date Sold 5/2/2019Sold 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) Operator 13 (released in other English-speaking countries as "Spy 13"), the 1934 Richard Boleslawski (billed as "Richard Boleslavsky") Civil War romantic spy espionage melodrama ("Her caresses meant capture... Her kisses meant death!"; "from the stories by Robert W. Chambers"; Davies is a spy for the North, who infiltrates the South to gain information, but then things get complicated when she falls for handsome southern officer Gary Cooper) starring Marion Davies, Gary Cooper, Jean Parker, Katharine Alexander, Ted Healy (most famous as the person who started The Three Stooges; they were first billed as "Ted Healy and his Stooges"; he let them go on their own, hiring replacement "Stooges", but that did not work out well at all!), The Mills Brothers (billed as "The Four Mills Brothers"), and Sidney Toler. Note that both Ted Healy and "The Four Mills Brothers" received prominent billing on the advertising for this movie. But the posters and lobby cards are SO rare that we don't know if they were pictured on many items! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that there is a stamp on the back that reads "FROM THE COLLECTION OF Michael R. Hawks", who most would consider the premier lobby card collector and expert in the world (and he is still an active collector, looking for the last few items he needs!). 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. Condition: good to very good. The card was used in England, and there is an English censor stamp to the left of the title. The title was painted with blue paint, and then the English title ("Spy 13") was painted over that. It was very professionally done, and likely would have been on all cards used in England (and we leave it to bidders to decide if they consider this a major "defect" or a relatively minor one). Otherwise, the card is in nice condition. 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
