Auction History Result 6y0858 PROFESSOR CREEPS LC 1942 Mantan Moreland, Flourney Miller, Arthur Ray, Toddy, ultra rare! Date Sold 7/30/2024 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) Professor Creeps, the 1942 William Beaudine Toddy Pictures black African American horror comedy ("Hot-dickety doings!"; "An all star-colored cast"; "A Jed Buell Production") starring Mantan Moreland, F.E. Miller (Flourney E. Miller), Arthur Ray (in the title role as Professor Whackingham Creeps), Florence O'Brien, and Maceo Bruce Scheffield. Note that Toddy Pictures purchased the rights to many 1930s all-black movies and re-released them in the early 1940s, but this is one of the movies where Toddy was the distributor for the first release of the movie (it was made by Dixie National Productions and distributed by Toddy). Also note that Flourney Miller was a major figure in black Broadway musical history, performing and writing with his partner Aubrey Lyles. After Lyles passed away in 1933, Miller appeared in a number of all-black movies in the 1930s and 1940s. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that ANY first release movie paper items from this movie are incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned two one-sheets, a pressbook, two lobby cards, and a few stills from this movie (and NO other first release movie paper) until we received this third lobby card, which shows a different scene than the two we previously auctioned! 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: good to very good. There is a small tear and two tiny tears in the bottom blank border and tiny paper loss in the top right blank corner, with a few creases and faint smudges around the edges and a pair of staple holes in the lower left blank border. Note that this card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
