An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Murder in the Air, the 1940 Lewis Seiler spy espionage military war action thriller ("Hidden enemies, Stolen Secrets, Sudden Death!"; "A battle aboard a doomed dirigible!"; there are spies and secret agents everywhere, and Ronald Reagan needs to save the day; no doubt he carried memories of this movie during his Presidential years!) starring Ronald Reagan, John Litel, Lya Lys, James Stephenson, Eddie Foy Jr., and Robert Warwick. Note that this movie was the final sequel to the popular "Secret Service of the Air" (there were three previous movies), all based on the same source material, and all starring Ronald Reagan! All four movies came out in a little over a year. Also note that Lya Lys was a German-born French actress who had appeared in some Hollywood MGM movies in the very early 1930s. She signed a contract with Warner Bros. in 1939, and she appeared in three of their movies, and this was the final one. After, there were no more film roles, but she rebounded with work as a cabaret singer, and she married for a fourth time and retired, and passed away in 1986 at the age of 78.

Important Added Info: 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: good. The card has darkened, typical of Warner Bros. linen lobby cards of this period. It has tiny pinholes in the top corners and a tack hole near the center. It has staining in the bottom 3" of the card, but it is mostly only noticeable in the bottom border and in the lower left and right borders. It is lightly rippled in the water stained area, but our scan makes the card look much more rippled than it is in person. The card can be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or it would be a relatively easy restoration job for any talented restorer. See our super-sized images to get a good sense of the condition of this card. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back!
