Auction History Result 8j068 AT THE CIRCUS LC '39 zany Groucho Marx embarasses Margaret Dumont at elegant dinner! Date Sold 11/12/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (11x14; LC; measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) At the Circus, the 1939 Edward Buzzell musical circus screwball comedy ("Keep the world laughing!") starring The Marx Brothers (Groucho Marx, Chico Marx, and Harpo Marx), Kenny Baker, Florence Rice, Eve Arden, Margaret Dumont, Nat Pendleton, Fritz Feld, and Charles Gemora (as Gibraltar the gorilla). Note that this was the movie where the Marx Brothers sing the song "Lydia the Tattooed Lady"! Also note that MGM initially was going to call this movie "A Day at the Circus" (to capitalize on the success of "A Day at the Races"), but that title was dropped (although it is on a few stills). There was a working title of "Marx Bros At the Circus" that is also on some stills, but not the 1939 posters or lobby cards. To make things confusing, when MGM re-released the movie in 1962, the advertising made it look like the title of the movie was "Marx Bros At the Circus". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Al Hirschfeld Condition: good. There is a horizontal scuff mark running across Groucho's eyes. It is noticeable in the background to the left of his figure, but not very noticeable at all in his face. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back of the card! Learn More about condition grades
