An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) The Bohemian Girl, the 1936 James W. Horne & Charles Rogers historical European royalty gypsy romantic musical screwball comedy ("90 mad, merry musical moments!"; "Based on the Opera by Balfe"; produced by Hal Roach, who also an uncredited director and writer!; about two very bumbling gypsies, one of whose wives steals the infant daughter of a nobleman, and they raise her as their own, and only when she grows up does she learn of her royal birth) starring Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy (Laurel and Hardy), Thelma Todd (her final screen appearance before her mysterious death), Antonio Moreno, Mae Busch, Darla Hood, Julie Bishop (billed as "Jacqueline Wells"), and Mae Busch. Note that when this movie was made, "gypsies" were a stereotype villain in movies of this sort. Fortunately, in recent years, great efforts have been made to eliminate these stereotypes, and even the word "gypsy" itself has been mostly eliminated, replaced by "Romani". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good. Part of the left blank border was trimmed off, and there were stains in the lower right blank border (extending into the yellow background above the credits). Someone attached a new left border to the left edge of the card (without backing the card in any way), and they did touch up to all of that border, the lower middle of the right blank border (and a tiny area of the yellow background next to it), and the center of the bottom blank border, where there was a pinhole. THE CARD IS IN BETTER CONDITION THAN THE ABOVE MAKES IT SOUND! Other than the above defects, the card is in really wonderful condition (it looks like it was just printed, and there is no restoration except in the blank borders and in a tiny bit of the yellow background area at lower right)!
