Auction History Result 7a0439 AT THE CIRCUS LC 1939 Marx Bros Groucho, Chico & Harpo, does anybody look suspicious, rare! Date Sold 12/27/2020 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) At the Circus, the 1939 Edward Buzzell musical circus screwball comedy ("Keep the world laughing!") starring The Marx Brothers (Groucho Marx, Chico Marx, and Harpo Marx), Kenny Baker, Florence Rice, Eve Arden, Margaret Dumont, Nat Pendleton, Fritz Feld, and Charles Gemora (as Gibraltar the gorilla). Note that this was the movie where the Marx Brothers sing the song "Lydia the Tattooed Lady"! Also note that MGM initially was going to call this movie "A Day at the Circus" (to capitalize on the success of "A Day at the Races"), but that title was dropped (although it is on a few stills). There was a working title of "Marx Bros At the Circus" that is also on some stills, but not the 1939 posters or lobby cards. To make things confusing, when MGM re-released the movie in 1962, the advertising made it look like the title of the movie was "Marx Bros At the Circus".

Artist: Al Hirschfeld Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned this great lobby card (with a close portrait of the three Marx Brothers) twice before, and only once 25 years! That last card we auctioned has now been reconsigned to us, so it is still only one of two examples we have ever auctioned! 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. There are water stains and faint smudges around the edges, with a few tiny tears in the blank borders. There are many brown stains scattered throughout the back of the card, but only a few dot stains are visible on the front (including one in Harpo's forehead). This lobby card is an excellent candidate for restoration, because it is likely some or many of the stains can be removed through chemical means, and after proper restoration, this card will look fantastic! Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back. Learn More about condition grades
