An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Calling Philo Vance, the 1940 William Clemens detective mystery crime thriller ("From 'The Kennel Murder Case' by S.S. Van Dine") starring James Stephenson (in the title role as Philo Vance), Margot Stevenson, Henry O'Neill, Edward Brophy, Sheila Bromley, Ralph Forbes, and Bo Ling. Note that William Powell first played Philo Vance in 1929's "The Canary Murder Case" and after the character proved very popular, he followed it the next year with "The Greene Murder Case", after which Basil Rathbone took over the role that same year in "The Bishop Murder Case". After Powell played Vance again in "The Benson Murder Case" (which was also made in a Spanish language version with an entirely different case), he then played him one more time in "The Kennel Murder Case" in 1933, but the character also appeared in ten more movies between 1934 and 1947, with other actors in the lead roles.

There are creases, tiny tears, and tiny bits of surface paper loss in the top blank border, and tiny creases in the left blank corners, as well as a pinhole in the upper right corner of the image background. Other than the above, the card is in pretty good condition! Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back!
