An Undated (probably 1930s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Roland West's The Bat Whispers, the 1930 Roland West crime murder mystery thriller ("Ooh! What thrills what laughs what drama"; "From the stage play by Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood"; about a weird master criminal who wears a hooded costume and is known as "The Bat", and he hides out in an isolated large house in the country and kills one of the occupants and takes his place, and the police must discover who is really The Bat!) starring Chester Morris (in a dual role as Detective Anderson and The Bat!), Chance Ward, Una Merkel, Richard Tucker, and Wilson Benge. Note that this was a virtual remake of the 1926 silent movie, "The Bat", as it had pretty much the same plot. We have heard that the comic book character "Batman" was inspired by the lead character from this movie (although, of course, here he was a villain). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: UPDATED 07/16/2012: Note that a knowledgeable collector pointed out that this is a 1930s re-release and not a 1930 first release as we initially listed. Condition: good. There are some smudges and scuffs scattered throughout the card and pinholes in the corners. Someone used the back of the card to advertise another movie (with blue and red paint), but it does not have much effect on the front at all. There are two pieces of paper tape on the back of the center of the top and bottom borders, but they were not put there for any restoration purpose. Learn More about condition grades
