An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Hollywood Party, the 1934 Richard Boleslawski, Allan Dwan, Edmund Goulding, Russell Mack, Charles Reisner, Roy Rowland, George Stevens & Sam Wood anthology comedy musical (written by Howard Dietz & Arthur Kober) starring Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy (Laurel and Hardy), Jimmy Durante (as himself and as Schnarzan the Conqueror, a wacky Tarzan parody), Jack Pearl, Polly Moran, Charles Butterworth, Lupe Velez (The Jaguar Woman, Jane in Schnarzan sequence, and as herself), Eddie Quillan, Mickey Mouse, Ted Healy (most famous as the person who started The Three Stooges; they were first billed as "Ted Healy and his Stooges"; he let them go on their own, hiring replacement "Stooges", but that did not work out well at all!), Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Curly Howard, Ben Bard, Ray Corrigan (as Ping-Pong the Gorila), and Phyllis Crane (unbilled on IMDB but an expert pointed out that she is on stills [with a large fake nose] with Jimmy Durante from the "Reincarnation" number). Note that this movie was originally titled "Hollywood Revue of 1933", and it began filming in August 1933. It was intended to be an all-star MGM musical using many of their greatest stars, and Ted Healy and The Three Stooges played photographers trying to get photos of the celebrities as they entered the "revue" (sort of a red carpet type scene). But the film went through many different assistant editors, rewrites, re-shoots, etc, and it took seven months to complete, and by that time, it was 1934, so of course, the title had to be changed, and it became "Hollywood Party". In addition, Ted Healy had split from the Stooges, and they were well into making movies at Columbia! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Al Hirschfeld Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper items from this movie are incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a scene lobby card (which only showed showgirls), some stills and a Danish program from this movie (and NO other movie paper) until we received this wonderful title lobby card, which has great Hirschfeld art of the all-star cast, including Laurel & Hardy and Mickey Mouse! 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 many pinholes, smudges, and some stains around the edges, with just a few scattered in the image. This incredibly rare card has never had any sort of restoration. It can certainly be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or one could have any degree of restoration performed (with or without backing the card), but that will be the choice of the new owner!
