Auction History Result 5a0256 FOOTLIGHT PARADE LC 1933 c/u of James Cagney between Joan Blondell & Ruby Keeler, ultra rare! Date Sold 7/12/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Footlight Parade, the classic 1933 Lloyd Bacon New York City Broadway stage romantic musical ("Another of Warner Bros.' Glittering Parade of Musical Sensations!"; "Surpassing even '42nd Street' and 'Gold Diggers of 1933'"; "Can you even think of missing it?"; "250 of the world's most gorgeous girls and hundreds more of your screen favorites."; "Dance numbers by Busby Berkeley") starring James Cagney (billed on some items as "Jimmy Cagney"), Joan Blondell, Ruby Keeler, Dick Powell, Frank McHugh, Ruth Donnelly, Guy Kibbee, Hugh Herbert, Nancy Lyons, Gordon Westcott, Claire Dodd, Donna Mae Roberts, Renee Whitney, and Bobbie La Salle. Note that this movie had some of the most risque advertising of any movie ever, with many images of girls wearing the skimpiest of costumes (and they were advertised as "one of the 300 reasons why you must see Footlight Parade")!

Important Added Info: Note that lobby cards from this most classic 1933 Busby Berkeley musical have been beyond rare, and we have only previously auctioned one lobby card from it before. Now, we have been consigned a second lobby card, and it has a great image of James Cagney, Joan Blondell, and Ruby Keeler, the top stars of the movie! Note that there is a stamp on the back that reads "FROM THE COLLECTION OF Michael R. Hawks", who most would consider the premier lobby card collector and expert in the world (and he is still an active collector, looking for the last few items he needs!). 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 has very slightly darkened, typical of Warner Bros. linen lobby cards of this period, but it is not at all fragile, which is a huge plus! There is light staining, tiny creases, and a small tear in the left of the top blank border, with tiny paper loss in the top left blank corner. There are tack holes in three corners and in the center of the top blank border. Other than the above defects, which mostly only affect the blank white borders, the card is in pretty nice condition. Note that this card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back. I would think the vast majority of collectors would be extremely happy to display this wonderful and ultra rare card exactly as it is, or certainly, one could choose to have slight restoration performed. Either way, it will look fabulous on the new owner's wall! Learn More about condition grades
