An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Check and Double Check, the 1930 Melville W. Brown (billed as "Mel Brown") Amos & Andy slapstick family relationship black African American-played-by-white-actors-in-blackface haunted house horror comedy ("Amos 'n' Andy on the screen! All Talking"; "Here they are! On the screen!"; "Their first all-talking motion picture"; the first and only movie adapted from the hit radio show, with the white voice actors playing their parts in blackface; while at a Mystic Knights of the Sea convention, Andy unluckily is chosen to spend the night in a haunted house) starring Freeman F. Gosden (as Amos), Charles J. Correll (as Andy), Irene Rich, Sue Carol, Ralf Harolde, Russ Powell (as Kingfish), and Roscoe Ates. Note that this was the only movie ever adapted from this extremely popular radio series, and RKO created a wonderful one-sheet for it. In 1951 to 1953, there was a very popular TV show, which starred black African American actors in the lead roles. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only once before auctioned this great title card, and it was 33 years ago, when we auctioned a complete set of cards from this movie. Over all the years since then, we have only auctioned four single scenes (and some of those may have been ones that originated in that complete set). Lobby cards from this movie are incredibly scarce, and this title card has a FAR superior image to that of the seven scene cards! 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: very good. There is a 1 1/2" tear in the center of the top border that extends into the background by the cap, but there is no paper loss. There is tiny paper loss in the top left blank corner, with a few creases around the edges. Otherwise, the card is in 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! Learn More about condition grades
