An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Eat 'Em Alive, the 1933 Harold Austin desert animal nature documentary (featuring life and death struggles between animals that was mainly shot in Texas, Nevada and Arizona) narrated by and featuring Harold Austin. Note that this completely forgotten movie was many decades ahead of its time! It shows (through actual footage) how many animals that live in the American desert are forced to eat other animals to survive, and also to dodge other predators that want to eat them. It has a framing device of an explorer (played by director Harold Austin), who travels through the desert with a camera filming these events, and at different times, he encounters an old prospector and a Native American Indian. The explorer says that animals are not as cruel as men, because they only kill for food, while men kill them for sport. Sometimes the explorer intervenes and helps one animal survive the attack of another. At the end of the movie, the explorer stops at a way station on the fringe of the desert, and a rattlesnake is seen about to attack a baby in an outdoor play pen, but the way station's pit bull dog is chained nearby, and the dog manages to break free and kill the snake, right in front of the baby! This feature film is completely forgotten today, and until we were consigned a title card from it in 2016, we had never even heard of the movie, or seen any movie paper from it! Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this title card (and that is the only U.S. item from this movie we have auctioned, except for two scene cards), and that example has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned! Also note that this lobby card shows the climactic scene where a pit bull saves a baby from a rattlesnake! 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. There is yellowed tape in the bottom corners and there was tape in the top corners that was removed, causing surface paper loss. There is a small piece of tape in the center of the left and right borders. There are creases, scuffs, and stains scattered down the center of the card. In spite of these defects, the card can be displayed and enjoyed, or certainly, restoration could be performed. Learn More about condition grades
