Auction History Result 7b0791 PUBLIC DEFENDER TC 1931 great art of dapper playboy Richard Dix, Shirley Grey, ultra rare! Date Sold 8/27/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Public Defender, the 1931 J. Walter Ruben mystery crime thriller (the title does not refer to a person employed to defend people without representation themselves, because that did not exist in 1931!; instead, the movie is about Dix leading a double life, both as a rich playboy, and as the mysterious avenger of wronged people known as "The Reckoner") starring Richard Dix, Shirley Grey, Ruth Weston, Paul Hurst, Edmund Bresse, Purnell Pratt, and Boris Karloff (8th billed, as "The Professor"). Note that this movie was one of an amazing 16 movies that Boris Karloff appeared in in 1931. Another one of those was, of course, "Frankenstein", which elevated him from minor bad guy to major star, but because this movie was released three months earlier, he was not credited or pictured on the posters (after all, he was only 8th billed)! The only way to get an image of him from this movie is finding a lobby card or still that shows him! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this title card, and it sold for $190! 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 to fine.
