Auction History Result 4w0256 PROFESSOR CREEPS TC 1942 Mantan Moreland & Toddy all-star colored cast, ultra rare! Date Sold 6/25/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Professor Creeps, the 1942 William Beaudine Toddy Pictures black African American horror comedy ("Hot-dickety doings!"; "An all star-colored cast"; "A Jed Buell Production") starring Mantan Moreland, F.E. Miller (Flourney E. Miller), Arthur Ray (in the title role as Professor Whackingham Creeps), Florence O'Brien, and Maceo Bruce Scheffield. Note that Toddy Pictures purchased the rights to many 1930s all-black movies and re-released them in the early 1940s, but this is one of the movies where Toddy was the distributor for the first release of the movie (it was made by Dixie National Productions and distributed by Toddy). Also note that Flourney Miller was a major figure in black Broadway musical history, performing and writing with his partner Aubrey Lyles. After Lyles passed away in 1933, Miller appeared in a number of all-black movies in the 1930s and 1940s. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is an incredibly rare card! We have previously auctioned single color cards that we THOUGHT were first release, but then we were consigned a full-color scene card that was clearly from the first release, and which proved that those other cards are re-releases. Now we have been consigned our second first release card, but this one is a title 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 card had paper loss in the right border extending into the blue background. Someone taped a piece of blank paper to the back of that area and colored the blue area on the front. There are stains in the lower right border and some other border defects. See our super-sized images to get a good sense of the condition of this card. Learn More about condition grades
