An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Irving Berlin's There's No Business Like Show Business, the 1954 Walter Lang stage acting family relationship romantic musical ("With Love and Kisses from 20th Century-Fox... Straight from the shoulder, right from the heart comes Irving Berlin's There's No Business Like Show Business"; "The Musicavalcade and the Personal Story of the Greatest Business On Earth"; "Rising like a song of songs from show business' heart of hearts!"; "From a story by Lamar Trotti - Lyrics and Music by Irving Berlin"; produced by Darryl F. Zanuck) starring Ethel Merman, Donald O'Connor, Marilyn Monroe (in a small, but important role), Dan Dailey, Johnnie Ray, and Mitzi Gaynor. Note that 20th Century-Fox cast singer Johnnie Ray as one of the family members, thinking the likeable singer would move on to many more roles in their musicals, but unfortunately, he was a gay homosexual male at a time when that was not tolerated in Hollywood, and that surely greatly hurt his career.

Important Added Info: 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. Also note that this lobby card has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the lobby card was backed onto a very light paper backing (acid-free), that keeps the "feel" of the lobby card similar to that of the original lobby card. Some restorers prefer to paperback lobby cards on to a heavy backing, while others prefer to use a very lightweight backing. The advantage of a lightweight backing is that the card still "feels" like a regular lobby card, but a heavier backing makes restoration easier to do and less noticeable. What IS paperbacking?

Prior to paperbacking, the left and right borders were folded back and there was an additional vertical fold 2" from the right edge of the card. There was a tear in the left blank border and some smudges in the right border. Overall, the lobby card was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can still see the vertical folds described above. Learn More about condition grades
