A Complete Set of 4 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Reet, Petite, and Gone, the 1947 William Forest Crouch African American all black cast musical ("Jumpin' and jivin'"; "He's back! The Maestro With A Beat") starring Louis Jordan, June Richmond, Bea Griffith, Milton Woods, Lorenzo Tucker, Vanita Smythe, David Bethea, Rudy Toombs, J. Lewis Johnson, Joe Lillard, Dots Johnson, and Mabel Lee NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that prior to 2013, we had only auctioned a single title card, and NO scene cards, and the title card was in 2004. In 2013, we auctioned this exact set, and now the same set has been re-consigned to us, so it is still the only set of cards for this movie we have ever auctioned! Also note that only 4 lobby cards were produced for this movie, and this is the complete set. It was quite common for studios to only make sets of four for short subjects or low budget movies (or re-releases of big budget movies), because it allowed them to print the sets at half the cost, and on shorts and low budget movies, they tried to save money any way they could (especially since it is likely few theaters even bothered to order lobby cards for these titles, since they were likely shown in addition to a better movie). Condition: good. All of the cards are lightly rippled throughout due to exposure to moisture, but on three of the four cards, the rippling is not very noticeable at all from any reasonable viewing distance. Each card has pinholes in the corners and each has varying degrees of tiny paper loss in the corners from rough removal of the pins. The card pictured at top right has staining and scuffs scattered throughout. Any talented restorer could press and flatten the cards (with or without performing restoration to the other defects), and after doing so, three of the cards will display wonderfully (the fourth card would require additional restoration, because of the staining).
