An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Crime School, the 1938 Lewis Seiler juvenile delinquent reform school crime melodrama ("Where today's kids are turned into tomorrow's killers"; "From a story by Crane Wilbur"; a sequel of sorts to the immensely popular "Dead End"; these movies were so successful that they spawned dozens more sequels and spin-offs) starring Humphrey Bogart, Gale Page, The Dead End Kids (Billy Halop, Bobby Jordan, Leo Gorcey, Gabriel Dell, Huntz Hall, and Bernard Punsley), Charles Trowbridge, Spencer Charters, Donald Briggs, and Cy Kendall (as the warden). Note that this movie was a remake of "The Mayor of Hell", a 1933 James Cagney movie, and it was remade yet again just one year later as "Hell's Kitchen" with Ronald Reagan (apparently the public did not grow tired of this plot in the 1930s!). Also note that this was the second movie with the "Dead End Kids" who had great success in 1937's "Dead End", where they had also co-starred with Humphrey Bogart!

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. Also note that this lobby card has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the lobby card was backed onto a very light paper backing (acid-free), that keeps the "feel" of the lobby card similar to that of the original lobby card. Some restorers prefer to paperback lobby cards on to a heavy backing, while others prefer to use a very lightweight backing. The advantage of a lightweight backing is that the card still "feels" like a regular lobby card, but a heavier backing makes restoration easier to do and less noticeable. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. Prior to paperbacking, the card had darkened, especially around the edges, typical of Warner Bros. linen lobby cards of this period. It had pinholes in the corners and slight paper loss in the left border, with a few creases and scuffs scattered in the image. Overall, the lobby card was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The card was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
