An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) 42nd Street, the classic 1933 Lloyd Bacon New York City Broadway theater stage acting romantic love triangle all-star musical ("14 stars 200 girls"; based on the novel by Bradford Ropes; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; with dances staged by Busby Berkeley) starring Dick Powell, Edward J. Nugent, Ginger Rogers, Warner Baxter, Bebe Daniels, George Brent, Ruby Keeler, Una Merkel, Guy Kibbee, Margaret La Marr, Donna Mae Roberts, Adele Lacy, Jayne Shaddack, George E. Stone, Ned Sparks, Ruth Eddings, Edna Callahan, Lynn Browning, Toby Wing, Loretta Andrews, Barbara Rogers, and Allen Jenkins. Note that this movie, which may be the first sound movie to use the cliche of the star being injured and an untested newcomer gets her big break as a result, had some of the most risque advertising of any movie ever, with many images of girls wearing the skimpiest of costumes! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this card has had significant restoration, and when the restorer went to do the writing from the bottom border, they had no idea what should go there, so they put "COUNTRY OF ORIGIN U.S.A." in the left corner and "1933" in the right corner, but that is not at all what should have been there! It "looks" okay, so the new owner might well choose to keep that as it is, or they could choose to have it properly re-restored. Note that this lobby card has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the lobby card was backed onto a heavy paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original lobby card (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. Prior to paperbacking, the card had pinholes and stains scattered throughout, plus paper loss in the middle of the "2" of the title and in the background to the right of the "2", with much paper loss around the edges. Overall, the lobby card was in poor to fair condition prior to paperbacking. The card has had a great deal of restoration, including new paper over the borders and the white background areas and it is difficult to tell the full extent of the restoration the card has had. The writing at the bottom was missing and incorrectly replaced (see above). The card displays pretty well as it is (except for the incorrect small writing at bottom, which most people would never realize), but bear the above defects and the extent of the restoration in mind before placing a bid on this card.
