Auction History Result 6r125 WET PARADE trolley card '32 Jimmy ' Schnozzle' Durante slays you, cool art! Date Sold 10/21/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Trolley Card Movie Poster (trolley card; measures 21" x 27" [53 x 69 cm]) (Learn More) The Wet Parade, the 1932 Victor Fleming New York City alcoholism Prohibition family relationship historical melodrama ("Jimmy 'Schnozzle' Durante SLAYS YOU! In The Wet Parade"; based on the novel "By Upton Sinclair"; about two families that are severely hurt by the effects of Prohibition, which resulted in more alcohol consumption than ever; interestingly, the movie separately follows the two families, and then brings them together by having the children of the families unite romantically) starring Dorothy Jordan, Walter Huston, Lewis Stone, Robert Young (in his fourth credited movie role!), Neil Hamilton, Jimmy Durante (in a bizarre cameo as a bearded federal agent!), and Myrna Loy. Note that there is an oddity to the billing of this movie. The first release insert shows the stars in the above order (but Myrna Loy is not billed at all) and the herald has the stars in a slightly diff order, but Myrna Loy is still not billed. We don't know why the billing would be different between the insert and the herald. We also don't know why Myrna Loy was not billed at all, and we suspect it was because she was not yet established as a "MGM actress". She had been making movies for a number of different studios the past few years, and perhaps MGM was reluctant to promote her. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: UPDATED 10/21/2010: Note that we had inadvertently called this item a Jumbo Window Card when it is in fact a rare Trolley Card! Condition: good to very good. There are black scuff marks scattered throughout the card and there are some tiny stains in the text areas at bottom. The lower left blank corner is now held onto the poster with a piece of tape from the back and there is a small tear in the left of the top edge. Learn More about condition grades
