An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Cat Creeps ...While the Canary Sleeps, the 1930 Rupert Julian haunted house horror mystery thriller ("The thrilling chilling spooky melodrama"; "Weird, baffling, fascinating drama! Eerie excitement! Shivery suspense!"; "From a John Willard smashing stage hit") starring Helen Twelvetrees, Raymond Hackett, Lilyan Tashman, Jean Hersholt, Neil Hamilton, Matagu Love, Theodore Von Eltz, Lawrence Grant, Elizabeth Patterson, and Blance Freuerici. Note that this was an early sound remake (just three years later) of the 1927 silent movie, "The Cat and the Canary", which had been directed by Paul Leni. As was popular for a brief time in 1930 and 1931, it was simultaneously made in a Spanish language version, "La voluntad del muerto", with an entirely different cast (headed by Antonio Moreno and Lupita Tovar), just as a Spanish language version of "Dracula" was made the following year (also by Universal). Note that this is a "lost" film which means that only a few minutes of footage is thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that first release 1930 movie paper from this early horror movie are incredibly rare. We have never sold even a single poster or lobby card from this movie until we received this lobby card (we have previously sold a herald, still, and glass slide, but nothing else!). Not only does this lobby card have a really cool image where the villain is shown at the climax of the movie (with a large question mark over his head so as to not spoil the movie), but it also has wonderful border art of a really creepy black cat! Condition: very good. The card had smudges, stains, and a few pinholes around the edges, with a 2" tear in the right of the bottom border, extending to the bottom of the image background. It had a few smudges and scuffs within the image. A very talented restorer pressed and flattened the card and performed slight border restoration without backing the card. It displays fantastically, and it truly has only had slight restoration, except in the borders. Learn More about condition grades
