Date Sold 5/3/2012Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Elsa Maxwell's Hotel for Women, the 1939 Gregory Ratoff romantic melodrama ("Elsa says: 'Don't ever shoot a man, dears! He's worth more to you alive than dead!'"; "Elsa says: 'Girls Do depend on men [the dogs!] ...some for excitement ... some for fame... and some even for love!'"; "A girl in every room ..and a man on every mind!"; "Based on a story by Elsa Maxwell and Kathryn Scola"; produced by Darryl F. Zanuck) starring Linda Darnell, James Ellison, Ann Sothern, Elsa Maxwell, John Halliday, Lynn Bari, Katharine Aldridge, Alan Dinehart, Jean Rogers, June Gale, Joyce Compton, and Amanda Duff. Note that 20th Century-Fox hired famous pin-up artists McClelland Barclay, George Petty, Bradshaw Crandell, and John LaGatta to create the one-sheet, three-sheet and half-sheets (and the lookalike title card) for this movie. Each featured great pin-up art of a sexy girl (none look like the actresses in the movie, but nobody minded!). They advertised it this way: "When these artists paint a girl, the whole world stops to LOOK! Petty, John La Gatta, McClelland Barclay, Bradshaw Crandell ...and each has created a striking figure especially for your 'Hotel For Women' campaign!" NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: UPDATED 04/30/2012: Note that a knowledgeable collector pointed out that it is Joyce Compton on the phone and NOT Ann Sothern as we initially listed. Condition: very good. There are a few pin holes in the middle of the top edge of the card and there is a diagonal crease in the upper left blank corner. There is some scuffing in the background at upper left extending into Darnell's hair but it is not very distracting. The card is otherwise in nice condition and it has no tape whatsoever on the front or back, and has never had any restoration of any kind! Learn More about condition grades
