An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More)

A Day at the Races, the classic 1937 Sam Wood horse racing sports gambling screwball comedy ("The year's big laugh, music and girl show!") starring the Marx Brothers (Groucho Marx, Chico Marx, and Harpo Marx), Allan Jones, Maureen O'Sullivan, Margaret Dumont, Esther Muir, Douglass Dumbrille, Sig Ruman, Leonard Ceeley, and Dorothy Dandridge (in an uncredited early role, in a sequence where a large number of young black African American men and women sing with Harpo). Note that this movie includes the classic comedy sequence where Groucho tries to buy a horse racing tip from Chico's Tootsie-Frootsie ice cream cart!

Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this first release scene 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 to very good. There is a foreign embossed stamp in the top right background that partially affects the top left of Harpo's hat. There is also a foreign stamp and a tax stamp glued to the center of the back of the card, but it does not affect the front of the card. There are some light creases in the top right corner that slightly extend into the green background, with some smaller faint creases in the center of the right blank border. Other than the above defects, the card is in pretty nice condition (see our super-sized images). Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back!
