A 1938 Re-Release Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More)

Frankenstein, the classic 1931 James Whale Universal monster horror thriller ("The monster that terrorized the world!"; "The Man Who Made a Monster"; "Warning! The monster is loose!"; "Based upon the Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley Story"; "Adapted by John L. Balderston from the play by Peggy Webling"; the first of the Universal "Frankenstein" movies, and regarded as one of the finer movies of any genre, in large part due to the marvelous acting of Boris Karloff, and the marvelous direction of James Whale!) starring Colin Clive (as Dr. Herbert V. Frankenstein), Boris Karloff (as the Frankenstein monster), Edward Van Sloan, Fredric Kerr, Mae Clarke, Dwight Frye (extremely memorable as Fritz), and John Boles

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned three examples of this 1938 re-release lobby card, and one of those examples has been reconsigned to us, so this is still only one of three examples we have ever auctioned!

Note that Universal gave this classic monster movie a quick re-release in 1938, just seven years after its original release. It seems likely that this re-release did not play in as nearly as many theaters as the first release, because the 1938 re-release movie paper is at least as scarce as the 1931 originals! Although they printed the cards in two colors to save on money, they wisely used five new monster scenes that were not in the original set, and the title card has a different art image from the original title card.
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: good to very good. There is a tack hole and a pair of staple holes in each corner, with a tack hole at top and bottom center. There is a brown stain in the left of the top blank border and a few tiny brown stains by some of the tack holes. There are two faint scuff marks in the lower right of the inset image. Otherwise, the card is in pretty nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! While some collectors would choose to have the card's defects restored, we could certainly also understand the many collectors who would choose to leave the card completely unrestored and display it exactly as it is, because its defects are mostly in the borders and not very distracting at all!
