An Original Vintage Theatrical Chapter #1 (The Lost Special) Stock Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Lost Special, the 1932 Henry MacRae railroad train mystery serial ("12 Chapters of Terrific Thrills and Mystery"; "From the story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle") starring Frank Albertson, Ernie Nevers, Cecilia Parker, Francis Ford, and J. Frank Glendon. Note that Ernie Nevers was a legendary football player in his day who appeared in four movies in cameo roles as football players. He was nicknamed "The One-Man-Team", and he once scored 40 points by himself in a single game (six touchdowns and four points after touchdowns), a record that has never been broken (and likely never will be). He was a charter member of the Football Hall of Fame, but he is sadly forgotten today. Note that for the first release of this serial, some items are credited to Universal, and some are credited to "Adventure Pictures", but the ones from Adventure Pictures are NOT from a re-release! This serial was made during the time when Universal was using Adventure Pictures as the production company for its serials. There are many such Universal/Adventure Pictures serials from 1925 to 1932. A collector tells us that Adventure Pictures was a wholly owned subsidiary that Universal used to distance themselves from the increasingly low-brow serials, and their desire to be viewed as a more high-end producer of features.

We have never before auctioned even one poster or lobby card from it. 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.
UPDATED 10/06/2016: Note that we were initially uncertain that this card was from the first release of this film. However, a very knowledgeable collector tells us that he believes our card is an original from the first release, but it is also a stock lobby card (which is something Universal/Adventure Pictures did for a few movies). The stock cards had no information except for the film title, and they had an empty area in which the chapter title could be overprinted or sniped. This allowed the cards to be re-used for multiple chapters. Condition: good. The card has darkened, except in the top left corner. It has pinholes in the corners with tiny paper loss in the top right corner (and someone put tape on the front and back of that area and tiny pieces of tape on the front of the middle of the left and right borders).
