Auction History Result 2c239 WONDER BAR LC 1934 Kay Francis, Dolores Del Rio whipped, blackface Al Jolson, ultra rare! Date Sold 12/12/2019 Sold 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) Wonder Bar, the 1934 Lloyd Bacon all-star romantic musical ("Warner Bros' Wonder Show of the Century"; "Numbers created and directed by Busby Berkeley"; this movie included many of Warner Brothers' top stars at the time) starring Al Jolson, Kay Francis, Dolores Del Rio, Ricardo Cortez, Dick Powell, Guy Kibbee, Hal Le Roy, Hugh Herbert, Ruth Donnelly, and Fifi D'Orsay. Note that this movie is very controversial because of Al Jolson appearing in blackface, but even more so because of the giant production number "Going to Heaven on a Mule", where around a hundred white actors appear in angel costumes in blackface, and worn out plantation worker Al Jolson (in blackface) enters Heaven with his mule, and both are given their wings. This movie is rarely shown for all of the above reasons. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that first release movie paper from this Busby Berkeley movie is incredibly rare! Other than several examples of the window card, we have never sold a first release U.S. poster, and we have only previously auctioned two single lobby cards prior to being consigned this one (and only one of those was in the last 15 years, and that one was in "poor to fair" condition). 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 very faint water staining in the left and right blank borders, but it mostly only affects the blank white areas and is not very noticeable or distracting. Other than the above faint water staining, the card is in nice condition, with a pinhole in the center of the left and right blank borders and a few other minor defects in the blank borders. Note that this card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
