An Original Vintage Theatrical Chapter #1 (The Chosen Victim) Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More)

The Return of Chandu (The Magician), the 1934 Ray Taylor black magic fantasy horror serial sequel ("He's back! The Master of Magic and Thrills"; "with a Distinguished Cast") starring Bela Lugosi (in the title role as Chandu), Maria Alba, Murdock MacQuarrie, Phyllis Ludwig, and Clara Kimball Young. Note that Chandu the Magician was a radio show that started airing in Los Angeles in 1931, and went nationwide the following year. That was also when a movie adaptation, called Chandu the Magician, was made. Two years later, this sequel, The Return of Chandu, was made, and this time, Bela Lugosi played the lead role, after having a supporting role in the prequel. The show went off the air in 1936. It was revived in 1948 as a 15 minute show and ran for two years.

Important Added Info: Note that this chapter #1 lobby card from this serial is extremely rare. While we have auctioned many other cards from all the other chapters of this serial, we have never before auctioned a full-color card from chapter #1! 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: poor to fair. There is paper loss, stains, and smudges around the edges, with smudges and scuffs scattered throughout the image. There is a repaired tear in the top border that extends into the background and much tape on the back. Obviously, this incredibly rare card is worth restoring, but bear in mind its defects before bidding.
