An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Lucky Devils, the 1933 Ralph Ince Hollywood movie stuntman action romantic melodrama ("A thrill-romance of Hollywood's death defying stunt men") starring William Boyd (billed as "Bill Boyd"), Dorothy Wilson, William Gargan, Lon Chaney Jr. (billed as "Creighton Chaney"), Bruce Cabot, and Roscoe Ates. Note that this was Lon Chaney Jr.'s third credited role (under his real name), and he was surely not billed on any of the movie paper for this movie or the earlier two, but we have seen a lobby card from this movie where he is pictured! Note that Lon Chaney Jr. did not like living in the shadow of his ultra successful father, Lon Chaney Sr., and he did not appear in movies during his father's lifetime. After his father passed away in 1930, Chaney started appearing in movies under his real name of Creighton Chaney (including in this movie), without much success. In 1935, a producer convinced him that it would pay off royally if he would change his name to Lon Chaney Jr., and under that name, he starred in this movie! But that did not lead to much better roles until 1939, when he played Lenny in "Of Mice and Men", and received fantastic reviews. But once again, his career did not take off, until he starred in "The Wolf Man" in 1941, and that led to a very successful series of Universal horror movies!

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. Condition: very good. The card has a 1" tear in the top border that was repaired with tape from the back (see our images). Learn More about condition grades
