eMoviePoster.comAuction History Result 6r979 WONDER BAR LC '34 Kay Francis, Dolores Del Rio, montage of cool images, rare! Date Sold 5/11/2017Sold 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) Wonder Bar, the 1934 Lloyd Bacon all-star romantic musical ("Warner Bros' Wonder Show of the Century"; "Numbers created and directed by Busby Berkeley"; this movie included many of Warner Brothers' top stars at the time) starring Al Jolson, Kay Francis, Dolores Del Rio, Ricardo Cortez, Dick Powell, Guy Kibbee, Hal Le Roy, Hugh Herbert, Ruth Donnelly, and Fifi D'Orsay. Note that this movie is very controversial because of Al Jolson appearing in blackface, but even more so because of the giant production number "Going to Heaven on a Mule", where around a hundred white actors appear in angel costumes in blackface, and worn out plantation worker Al Jolson (in blackface) enters Heaven with his mule, and both are given their wings. This movie is rarely shown for all of the above reasons. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that first release movie paper from this Busby Berkeley movie is incredibly rare! Other than several examples of the window card, we have never sold a first release U.S. poster, and we have only previously auctioned a single lobby card prior to being consigned this one. 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 are many stains scattered throughout the card, with some pen marks, as well as paper loss in the top left corner and smaller paper loss in the bottom left corner, with pinholes in the right corners. There is some tape on the back of the bottom border, where there were tears (see our images). Learn More about condition grades
