Note that each of the lobby cards feature famous stars who made appearances in this DeMille documentary, so those who collect on those stars need to track down that specific scene card, as this IS a movie that starred that actor! Also, note that this film was intended to be a tribute to the beauty and history of the United States, and was shown at the New York World's Fair of 1939/1940, and the 1939 San Francisco Exposition. In 1940, MGM wide-released an updated & edited version (it was 98 minutes instead of the original 138) to theaters, and all known movie paper is from this wide release. Because the 1939 release was so limited (and likely had no mass produced posters), we consider the "regular" release items to be "first release". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that these cards have a stamp on the back that indicates that they came from the legendary "Cozy Theater" collection! Condition: good to very good. Most have many pinholes scattered in various areas (see our image). Some have slight discoloration in portions of the edges. Learn More about condition grades
