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

Search for Beauty, the 1934 Erle C. Kenton romantic crime swindler melodrama (a wacky story of a couple who are recruited by crooks to publish a health magazine and also start a health farm, and the crooks try to advertise both with racy pictures of men and women, but the couple make a legitimate resort out of it, and ultimately, the crooks go to jail, and the couple finds love and success) starring Buster Crabbe (billed as "Larry 'Buster' Crabbe"), Ida Lupino, Robert Armstrong, James Gleason, Roscoe Karns, Toby Wing, Gertrude Michael, Monya Andre, and William Bailey, with the "30 International Beauty Contest Winners" (one is Ann Sheridan, uncredited in her 2nd role). Note that one of the key plot points involves the couple running the health farm inviting 30 beauty contest winners to stay there (to get other people to want to go), and among those 30 actors was Ann Sheridan (in her first movie appearance). Apparently, the producers also wanted Sally Rand, the fan dancer, to be one of the contest winners, but she did not make the final cut of the movie.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this lobby card, and that was 6 years ago. That card has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned! 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.

Condition: very good to fine. Note that this lobby card is in excellent condition and is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back!
