Schoedsack fantasy horror action adventure thriller sequel ("Laughs! Thrills! Pathos!"; "New Thrills! New Adventure! New Romance!"; note that King Kong was SO successful that RKO rushed out a very rare same-year sequel, but they made Kong's son a smaller size than his father ["only" 12 feet tall], perhaps because that made filming easier) starring Robert Armstrong (reprising his role as Carl Denham from the previous King Kong), Helen Mack, Frank Reicher, John Marston, Victor Wong, and Edward Brady NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

The card was found in the back of a frame, and the top 6" and the right 2" had been neatly trimmed off (it had been used as a backing board!). Otherwise, the card was in pretty nice condition, with a few faint stains and scuffs scattered in the image. A talented restorer paperbacked the card and recreated the missing areas, and used the top from another card that had a snipe attached to the blank area. The card displays really well, and I am sure that most people would not realize it had had the restoration, even when looking right at the card! Learn More about condition grades
