Auction History Result 3b0559 NARCOTIC LC 1933 Dwain Esper drug addiction camp classic, great border art, ultra rare! Date Sold 10/25/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Narcotic, the 1933 Dwain Esper & Vival Sodar't drug addiction medical doctor melodrama ("The quagmire that drags down fair women"; "Interpreted by Dwain Esper"; about a doctor who becomes addicted to drugs, and ends up working in a carnival show selling bogus medicine so that he can fuel his ever increasing habit!) starring Harry Cording, Joan Dix, Patricia Farley, Jean Lacy, J. Stuart Blackton Jr. Note that Dwain Esper was well known for lurid exploitation movies, and this one is no exception. The movie opens with a scrolling introduction about how it is a warning about the dangers of drugs, and then it shows a suicide note being written by a doctor, and then it flashes back to a scene of the doctor performing an emergency caesarean section, and stock medical footage of a real C-section is used, which no doubt horrified 1933 audiences. And there is a long "party" sequence late in the movie where drug addicts use a variety of drugs, including injection through hypodermic needles, which was really rough stuff for the time. No doubt the movie only played in a very limited release, and first release movie paper from it is virtually impossible to find! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper items from this movie are incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned two scene lobby cards and a title lobby card from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this third scene card, which has a completely different image from the ones we previously auctioned! 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: very good. There is slight darkening in the outer edge of the left blank border, with a few pinholes, creases, and tiny tears around the edges, as well as tiny paper loss in the bottom left blank corner. Note that this card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
