Auction History Result 3c625 LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE Other Company LC 1938 great c/u of Robert Kent smiling at June Travis! Date Sold 12/28/2017 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) Little Orphan Annie, the 1938, Ben Holmes cute-girl-helps-boxer-with-his-boxing-career juvenile adventure melodrama ("Based on the Comic Strip Character by Harold Gray") starring Ann Gillis (in the title role as Little Orphan Annie), Robert Kent, June Travis, J. Farrell MacDonald, J. M. Kerrigan, and Ian Maclaren. Interestingly, there is no "Daddy Warbucks" character, and the movie does not seem to follow the comic strip very much except in that Annie is an orphan and has a cute dog; the movie concerns Annie gathering together a bunch of poor neighbors to put up the money for a boxer's career with the hope that he will become a champion and they will all hit it rich, but some local gangsters don't like that idea; there was an earlier "Little Orphan Annie" movie in 1932 with Mitzi Green, which was more faithful to the comic strip. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: This was printed by Associated Displays Corporation which was a company based in New York City. Before it was discovered by noted poster dealer/historian Walter Reuben, collectors did not know the name of this company (and thought it to be located in the Midwest), and it is often referred to as the "other company" (and we will continue to refer to it that way, since collectors know it that way). From 1936 to roughly 1941, this company printed its own one-sheets and lobby card sets (and a very few inserts, half-sheets, three-sheets, 40x60s and stills) for three major studio movies (Warner Brothers, Paramount and United Artists, but no other studios). The items almost always feature a tiny legal disclaimer and cast credits only. The posters and lobby cards are from the original release of the movie, and almost always have completely different artwork from the regular studio release. They did this by combining elements from different film scenes onto one poster or card. Sometimes, "other company" posters have images that are the equal of those from the regular studio release posters. 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. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
