Date Sold 9/15/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 8 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Little Big Shot, the 1935 Michael Curtiz orphan romantic crime comedy ("The biggest little star of them all!"; about a pair of sidewalk con men who end up with custody of a girl whose parents were killed, and they get a pretty hat check girl to help look after her; they want to put her in an orphanage, but she helps them run their con games, to the disapproval of the hat check girl, but then she is kidnapped by other crooks, and one of the con men nobly risks his life to rescue her, and after they do, he settles down with the hat check girl, and they marry and adopt the little girl, and open a roadside cafe!) starring Sybil Jason, Glenda Farrell, Robert Armstrong, Edward Everett Horton, and Jack La Rue. Note that Sybil Jason was born in South Africa, but was a singing and dancing child prodigy in England from the age of 2. When she was 6, Jack Warner saw her perform, and signed her to a contract hoping she could be a child star for Warner Bros. to equal Shirley Temple at 20th Century-Fox. However, after a few movies, including starring opposite Al Jolson in "The Singing Kid", she did not deliver the hoped for results, and Warner Bros. did not renew her contract in 1938. Daryl Zanuck signed her at 20th Century-Fox, putting her with Shirley Temple in "The Little Princess". She was supposed to have a major role in "The Blue Bird", opposite Shirley Temple, but most of her scenes were cut from the movie (perhaps because it was feared she would "upstage" Shirley Temple, who was "getting old"!), and she "retired". In 1947, at the age of 18, she married a Navy man, and they had a child and were married for 58 years until his passing in 2006, and she passed away in 2011 at the age of 83!

Important Added Info: Note that this a very rare complete set of lobby cards for this movie (we only auctioned one scene card, a few stills and one glass slide for this title but NO other movie paper for it whatsoever in all of our years of auctioning!). Also note that that this set of cards which includes the printed envelope this set originally came with, is one of one of a remarkable group of FIFTEEN sets that were recently discovered! All are from 1934 and 1935, and each is in remarkable condition. This is a wonderful opportunity to get complete sets in the best possible condition, and this may not occur again for quite some time (there were only two other sets in this find, "The Phantom Empire", and "Devil Dogs of the Air", and we previously auctioned those two sets by the card). Once these sets are sold there will be no more cards from this find! Condition: very good to fine. The title card has light staining scattered down the left border, slightly entering the image background. There is a faint line of staining in the middle of the left of the green background the middle of the right green background. Otherwise all eight cards are in exceptional condition (see our images)!
