Mother Carey's Chickens, the 1938 Rowland V. Lee family relationship romantic comedy melodrama ("From the famous novel by Kate Douglas Wiggin"; "Kate Douglas Wiggin's famous story"; about a widowed woman and her children who are left penniless when the father dies, and their struggles to survive) starring Anne Shirley, Ruby Keeler, James Ellison, Fay Bainter (in the title role as Mother Carey), Walter Brennan, Frank Albertson, Alma Kruger, and Virginia Weidler. Note that this movie was re-made as "Summer Magic" by Walt Disney in 1963. Also note that RKO wanted Katharine Hepburn to star in this movie, but she wisely refused, and that ended her association with RKO. She was replaced by Ruby Keeler.

Condition: good to very good. There is a small area of writing in the right of the top edge and there is some paper loss in the upper right blank corner of the card. The card is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it has no tape whatsoever on the front or back, and it has never had any restoration of any kind!
