An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Crime School, the 1938 Lewis Seiler juvenile delinquent reform school crime melodrama ("Where today's kids are turned into tomorrow's killers"; "From a story by Crane Wilbur"; a sequel of sorts to the immensely popular "Dead End"; these movies were so successful that they spawned dozens more sequels and spin-offs) starring Humphrey Bogart, Gale Page, The Dead End Kids (Billy Halop, Bobby Jordan, Leo Gorcey, Gabriel Dell, Huntz Hall, and Bernard Punsley), Charles Trowbridge, Spencer Charters, Donald Briggs, and Cy Kendall (as the warden). Note that this movie was a remake of "The Mayor of Hell", a 1933 James Cagney movie, and it was remade yet again just one year later as "Hell's Kitchen" with Ronald Reagan (apparently the public did not grow tired of this plot in the 1930s!). Also note that this was the second movie with the "Dead End Kids" who had great success in 1937's "Dead End", where they had also co-starred with Humphrey Bogart! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good to fine. there was a 1" tear in the upper left border (repaired with tape from the back); there were small areas of paper loss in the right blank corners and in the bottom left blank corner, and someone super carefully cut out pieces from a similar linen card, and glued them into place, and they now just look to be taped areas; there was a pinhole in the top left corner and a 1 1/2" diagonal crease in the top left blank corner. All of the above is basically minor (except for the darkening, which is a given with most Warner Bros. cards of this period). The image area is in really nice condition and has no restoration anywhere on it! Learn More about condition grades
