An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Murder in the Air, the 1940 Lewis Seiler spy espionage military war action thriller ("Hidden enemies, Stolen Secrets, Sudden Death!"; "A battle aboard a doomed dirigible!"; there are spies and secret agents everywhere, and Ronald Reagan needs to save the day; no doubt he carried memories of this movie during his Presidential years!) starring Ronald Reagan, John Litel, Lya Lys, James Stephenson, Eddie Foy Jr., and Robert Warwick. Note that this movie was the final sequel to the popular "Secret Service of the Air" (there were three previous movies), all based on the same source material, and all starring Ronald Reagan! All four movies came out in a little over a year. Also note that Lya Lys was a German-born French actress who had appeared in some Hollywood MGM movies in the very early 1930s. She signed a contract with Warner Bros. in 1939, and she appeared in three of their movies, and this was the final one. After, there were no more film roles, but she rebounded with work as a cabaret singer, and she married for a fourth time and retired, and passed away in 1986 at the age of 78.

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 to very good. The card has darkened, typical of Warner Bros. linen lobby cards of this period. There are tiny staple holes in the corners and pinholes in the center of the top and bottom border, and one above the "N" of "RONALD" in the credits. There is some tiny surface paper loss scattered in the top and bottom blank borders. There were three small tears in the bottom border and a crease between them, and someone put three pieces of tape on the back of the bottom border. Note that there are bits of red scattered in the title. That was also on the only other example of this card we have seen, and we think it is intentional, to suggest blood on the words "MURDER IN THE AIR". Learn More about condition grades
