9j0894 RETURN OF SHERLOCK HOLMES LC 1929 Betty Lawford with 2 guys, Arthur Conan Doyle, ultra rare!

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

The Return of Sherlock Holmes, the 1929 Basil Dean Scotland Yard England detective mystery crime thriller ("All talking!"; "A new adventure of Sherlock Holmes by Basil Dean and Garrett Ford"; "Based upon a short story by Sir A. Conan Doyle") starring Clive Brook (in the title role as Sherlock Holmes), H. Reeves-Smith (as Dr. Watson), Betty Lawford, Charles Hay, and Phillips Holmes. Note that this was Clive Brook's first appearance as Sherlock Holmes (the "return of" in the title referred to the character, who had been played in several silent movies). He would play the character one more time in "Sherlock Holmes" in 1932, with Reginald Owen as Dr. Watson. A year later, World Wide Pictures made A Study in Scarlet, and perhaps in a money saving measure, they hired Reginald Owen to play Sherlock Holmes, and Clive Brook would never play him again!

Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper items from this movie are incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned an insert (25 years ago) and some stills from this movie (and NO other movie paper) until we received this lobby card! 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: good to very good. The card had an uneven tear down the right that separated it into two pieces and went through the right of the head of the man. Someone glued the two pieces together and performed slight restoration to the rest of the card (see our images).
