Auction History Result 6w442 HOLY TERROR LC 1931 young unbilled Humphrey Bogart, George O'Brien, Rita La Roy, ultra rare! Date Sold 6/13/2019 Sold 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) A Holy Terror, the 1931 Irving Cummings easterner-goes-west romantic love triangle adventure (about the son of a millionaire whose dad is murdered, and he flies out West to see what happened, and he crashes his plane into a girl's bedroom, and falls for her, which makes her boyfriend very jealous!) starring George O'Brien, Sally Eilers, Rita La Roy, James Kirkwood, and Humphrey Bogart. Note that young Humphrey Bogart was fifth billed in this movie, one of a small number of movies he made between 1931 and 1934, before giving up on Hollywood, and returning to the New York stage. Movie paper items from this film are incredibly rare, but we have auctioned a pressbook, so we know that Humphrey Bogart was not pictured or billed on any of the posters, although he was in at least one of the lobby cards. The producers of this movie did not find any room for an image of him in any of the 8 pages of the pressbook, nor were any of the articles about him, but they did have a section that says "Biographies in Brief", and Bogart gets a 14-line biography, which accurately describes what he had done prior to this time! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that first release 1931 movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned even a single poster or lobby card from this movie (only a pressbook, a glass slide, and an English pressbook) until we received this lobby card, which DOES show Humphrey Bogart (he was surely not on many cards)! 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: fair to good. There is a tiny water stain in the right of Bogart's hat. There is yellow staining in the bottom left quarter of the card, with two tiny areas of paint touch up in two of the items on the counter. There were pinholes, creases, and a few tiny tears around the edges, and someone put pieces of tape on the back then performed restoration to the front of those areas without backing the card. See our super-sized images to get a good sense of the condition of this card. This lobby card is an excellent candidate for restoration, because it is likely some or many of the stains can be removed through chemical means, and several of the defects are solely in the blank borders, and after proper restoration, this card will look fantastic, and oddly, in spite of the card's many defects, it would still display pretty well just as it is.
