An Original Vintage Theatrical Style B Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Elsa Maxwell's Hotel for Women, the 1939 Gregory Ratoff romantic melodrama ("Elsa says: 'Don't ever shoot a man, dears! He's worth more to you alive than dead!'"; "Elsa says: 'Girls Do depend on men [the dogs!] ...some for excitement ... some for fame... and some even for love!'"; "A girl in every room ..and a man on every mind!"; "Based on a story by Elsa Maxwell and Kathryn Scola"; produced by Darryl F. Zanuck) starring Linda Darnell, James Ellison, Ann Sothern, Elsa Maxwell, John Halliday, Lynn Bari, Katharine Aldridge, Alan Dinehart, Jean Rogers, June Gale, Joyce Compton, and Amanda Duff. Note that 20th Century-Fox hired famous pin-up artists McClelland Barclay, George Petty, Bradshaw Crandell, and John LaGatta to create the one-sheet, three-sheet and half-sheets (and the lookalike title card) for this movie. Each featured great pin-up art of a sexy girl (none look like the actresses in the movie, but nobody minded!). They advertised it this way: "When these artists paint a girl, the whole world stops to LOOK! Petty, John La Gatta, McClelland Barclay, Bradshaw Crandell ...and each has created a striking figure especially for your 'Hotel For Women' campaign!" NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: George Petty Important Added Info: Note that this title card clearly has a tiny "B" in the bottom left corner. I was under the impression that there were absolutely NO "style B" title cards, and that all title cards are the same as the style A half-sheet, and that the style B half-sheet contained artwork not seen on any other movie poster sizes (this is backed up by the fact that an awful lot of title cards have a "T/A" in the bottom right, indicating that they are both the title card and the style A half-sheet). So what explains the small "B" on this card? If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good. There are pinholes around the edges of the card and one in the center of the card, but otherwise, the card is in nice condition! Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back of the card! Learn More about condition grades
