Auction History Result 5k1230 MALICE IN THE PALACE LC 1949 3 Stooges Moe, Larry & Shemp threatened by cleaver, ultra rare! Date Sold 8/20/2020 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) Malice in the Palace, the 1949 Jules White Arabian slapstick comedy short ("Howl at the Stooges as screwball Santas!"; "A Columbia Short-Subject Presentation"; in this entry, the Stooges run an Arabian restaurant, and they learn that an Emir has stolen a precious diamond, and they go to his palace to try to get it back, and they figure that dressing as Santa Clauses is the best way to do that) starring The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Shemp Howard), Vernon Dent, George Lewis, and Frank Lackteen. Note that Curly Howard was originally going to play the part of the chef in this. They filmed that scene, but ultimately it was cut from the movie. But by a lucky break, an image from that scene was included in the lower-left of the one-sheet (Curly had lost weight and had a false handlebar mustache, but it is definitely him!). So the one-sheet from this short is the ONLY one-sheet that has all four Stooges on it (there is a single lobby card for this short that has Curly, also "in disguise"). Curly had suffered a stroke a few years before, which is why he had lost so much weight. Note that much of this short was re-edited into the 1956 comedy short "Rumpus in the Harem".

Important Added Info: Note that while we have previously auctioned a one-sheet from this Three Stooges comedy short (which sold for $900!), we have never before auctioned a 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. The bottom 1 1/2" was folded back at one time. The card has paper tape on the back of the left border and paper tape on the back of the center of the top and bottom borders. It has pinholes in each corner and some creases and smudges around the edges (see our images). After fairly simple restoration, the card will display wonderfully, and it certainly could be displayed as it is if the new owner chose to. Learn More about condition grades
