What thrills what laughs what drama"; "From the stage play by Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood"; about a weird master criminal who wears a hooded costume and is known as "The Bat", and he hides out in an isolated large house in the country and kills one of the occupants and takes his place, and the police must discover who is really The Bat!) starring Chester Morris (in a dual role as Detective Anderson and The Bat!), Chance Ward, Una Merkel, Richard Tucker, and Wilson Benge. Note that this was a virtual remake of the 1926 silent movie, "The Bat", as it had pretty much the same plot.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two first release lobby cards from this movie, and the last one was 6 years ago, when it sold for $466. That last card has now been reconsigned to us, so it is still only one of two examples we have ever auctioned! 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 to fine. 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
