Date Sold 12/20/2022 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) The Return of Sherlock Holmes, the 1929 Basil Dean Scotland Yard England detective mystery crime thriller ("All talking!"; "A new adventure of Sherlock Holmes by Basil Dean and Garrett Ford"; "Based upon a short story by Sir A. Conan Doyle") starring Clive Brook (in the title role as Sherlock Holmes), H. Reeves-Smith (as Dr. Watson), Betty Lawford, Charles Hay, and Phillips Holmes. Note that this was Clive Brook's first appearance as Sherlock Holmes (the "return of" in the title referred to the character, who had been played in several silent movies). He would play the character one more time in "Sherlock Holmes" in 1932, with Reginald Owen as Dr. Watson. A year later, World Wide Pictures made A Study in Scarlet, and perhaps in a money saving measure, they hired Reginald Owen to play Sherlock Holmes, and Clive Brook would never play him again! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that ANY U.S. movie paper items from this movie are incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned two lobby cards, an insert (26 years ago) and eight stills from this movie (and NO other U.S. movie paper of any kind) until we received this third lobby card! Note that there is a stamp on the back that reads "FROM THE COLLECTION OF Michael R. Hawks", who most would consider the premier lobby card collector and expert in the world (and he is still an active collector, looking for the last few items he needs!). 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. There is a faint thin scuff line in Brook's cheek running from the right of his eye to the bottom of his ear. There are creases and a small tear in the bottom blank border, with some tiny brown stains scattered in other parts of the blank borders, and a thin strip of darkening in the outer edge of the upper left blank border. 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
