An Original Vintage Theatrical Chapter #3 (The Silenced Witness) Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Fighting Devil Dogs, the 1938 Robert M. Beche, William Witney, & John English Marines military science fiction (sci-fi) serial ("A Republic serial in 12 lightning episodes") starring Lee Powell, Bruce Bennett (billed as "Herman Brix"), Eleanor Stewart, Montagu Love, Hugh Sothern, and Lester Dorr (uncredited as the main villain, The Lightning). Note that, as often happened with 1930s and 1940s serials, this one was edited into a "feature version" (a condensed version of all the chapters, eliminating unnecessary subplots, and bringing it down to feature length). However, in this case, the feature version was not created and released until six years after the serial was released, so we list it as a separate entry, because of the long delay between the two.

Important Added Info: 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. What IS gelbacking? Learn More Condition: good. The card had a long diagonal crease in the upper right. It had some pinholes and tiny paper loss in the borders, and the entire card had darkened. Overall, the card was in good condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the card (meaning they backed the card onto a gel material) and they then performed restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, so that the card still looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. Given the card's defects described above, the restorer did a pretty good job, but you can see signs of the defects and the restoration, but the card displays pretty well (see our super-sized images to get a good sense of exactly how the card looks now).
