Auction History Result w013 AT THE CIRCUS movie lobby card '39 Groucho Marx embarasses Margaret Dumont at formal dinner! Date Sold 5/22/2008 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) At the Circus, the 1939 Edward Buzzell musical circus screwball comedy ("Keep the world laughing!") starring The Marx Brothers (Groucho Marx, Chico Marx, and Harpo Marx), Kenny Baker, Florence Rice, Eve Arden, Margaret Dumont, Nat Pendleton, Fritz Feld, and Charles Gemora (as Gibraltar the gorilla). Note that this was the movie where the Marx Brothers sing the song "Lydia the Tattooed Lady"! Also note that MGM initially was going to call this movie "A Day at the Circus" (to capitalize on the success of "A Day at the Races"), but that title was dropped (although it is on a few stills). There was a working title of "Marx Bros At the Circus" that is also on some stills, but not the 1939 posters or lobby cards. To make things confusing, when MGM re-released the movie in 1962, the advertising made it look like the title of the movie was "Marx Bros At the Circus". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Al Hirschfeld Condition: very good to fine. There is a 1/2" tear in the middle of the left blank border. There was a 1/2" tear in the left of the top border and someone put tape on the back of that area. There is tiny tape on the back of the right corners, that was put there for reinforcement. Other than the above truly minor defects, the card is in quite nice condition, and it has no other restoration! Learn More about condition grades
