An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Tom Sawyer, the 1930 John Cromwell juvenile adventure melodrama ("Come on - it's great fun!"; "Hey folks. Be a kid again. Fun for the whole family."; "Based upon 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' by Mark Twain") starring Jackie Coogan (in the title role as Tom Sawyer), Mitzi Green (as Becky Thatcher; Coogan and Green billed as "as the heavy lovers"), Junior Durkin (as Huckleberry Finn), Jane Darwell, Tully Marshall, and Clara Blandick (as Aunt Polly). Note that this movie marketed heavily on the nostalgia factor, using an artwork image of Chaplin and Coogan from "The Kid" (even though that was from a different studio), and Coogan was billed as "remembered for his portrayal with Charlie Chaplin in 'The Kid'" NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. 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. What IS gelbacking? Learn More Condition: good to very good. The card had darkened, typical of Paramount lobby cards of this period. It had some tiny paper loss in the left and middle of the top border, with greater paper loss in the top right corner, extending into the top right of the image background and the top right of the border lines. It had pinholes in the corners. Overall, the card was in good condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the card (meaning they backed the card onto a gel material) and they then performed restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, so that the card still looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. You can see signs of the restoration, but the card displays well! Learn More about condition grades
