An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More)

Broadway, the 1929 Pal Fejos New York City theater stage acting romantic crime murder musical ("No other picture like it in the world!"; "100% singing and talking"; "100% Talking - Singing - Dancing Picture"; "The one and only Broadway, the greatest of all singing and talking pictures, Broadway, with full dialog from Jed Harris' stage success, Broadway, the first $1,000,000 all talking picture"; "The One and Only Broadway Universal Super Production"; based on the play by Phillip Dunning & George Abbott; about a naive showgirl who gets involved with bootleggers and murder!) starring Glenn Tryon, Evelyn Brent, Merna Kennedy, Thomas Jackson (billed as "E.T. Jackson"), Otis Harlan, Robert Ellis, and Fritz Feld. Note that this is a most unusual movie. The director was Pal Fejos, a Hungarian bacteriologist (!), who had directed movies in Hungary in 1921 to 1923, and somehow he convinced Universal to let him direct a movie for them in 1928, and they apparently liked it enough to give him this movie the following year. The movie was shot in both silent and sound versions, and in black and white and color, and the innovative director did not want it to be like other early sound movies, where the recording equipment restricted them to a stage, and so the opening of the movie has cool outdoor sequences that were filmed with an early camera crane, and because the sound couldn't be recorded outdoors, he dubbed it over the outdoor footage! He directed a number of movies right after this, but had a falling out with Universal in the mid 1930s, and returned to Hungary, where he became a noted anthropologist! Note that a color silent version of this movie survives and also a black and white sound version.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned three lobby cards from this movie, and this is one of those cards that has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still only one of three cards from this movie we have ever auctioned!

Note that for this movie, Universal created two entirely different 8 card lobby card sets (something they did with their top productions in the 1920s). One set has art of New York skyscrapers under construction, with showgirls, including one wearing a wacky "skyscraper" hat, and the other set, which this card is from, does not have any border art. 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.you see what defects it has.

Condition: fair to good. There is a small tape repair on the back.
