An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) S.S. Van Dine's The Kennel Murder Case, the 1933 Michael Curtiz detective mystery crime murder thriller starring William Powell (billed as "William Powell returns as Philo Vance in S.S. Van Dine's The Kennel Murder Case"), Mary Astor, Eugene Pallette, Ralph Morgan, Helen Vinson, Jack La Rue, Paul Cavanagh, Robert McWade, Charles C. Wilson, Arthur Hohl, and Robert Barrat. Note that William Powell first played Philo Vance in 1929's "The Canary Murder Case" and after the character proved very popular, he followed it the next year with "The Greene Murder Case", after which Basil Rathbone took over the role that same year in "The Bishop Murder Case". After Powell played Vance again in "The Benson Murder Case" (which was also made in a Spanish language version with an entirely different case), he then played him one more time in "The Kennel Murder Case" in 1933, but the character also appeared in ten more movies between 1934 and 1947, with other actors in the lead roles.

That card has now been reconsigned to us, so it is still the only example we have ever auctioned! Likely the reason these 1933 first release lobby cards are SO rare is because the movie received a quick re-release in 1942, and surely most, if not all, of the surviving first release lobby cards were used up or destroyed at that time. 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 very faint thin horizontal scuff line running across the center of the stars' faces (it looks like it could be a minor printing defect; see our super-sized image). There is a tiny crease in each bottom blank corner and a small stain in the lower right blank border. Other than the above, the card is in nice condition, and we think it is fair to say that the vast majority of people would never notice the above faint line when viewing the card from any reasonable viewing distance. 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
